Loki Invisibility Question.

[Flowen231]

OK, so I was trying loki and I noticed that sentinels don't attack when you go invisible, but kubrows do as long as you start attacking. If i switch back to a sentinel will it also start attacking with me while i'm invisible?

i think kubrow attack are silent (as all melee attacks), but sentinel guns are not (unless silenced with mods). also, kubrows only attack when you do, and the sentinels attack on sight (except shade).

in this case you don't want your sentinel attack when you're invisible, because the enemies will hear it, and fire in that direction, possibly hit your sentinel, or you (because the sentinel stays close to you), practically making invisibility useless

 

making sentinels only attacking when you shoot wouldn't solve this problem either, because you can have silent (bows, kunais) or silenced weapons, and you might want the sentinel to attack while reloading, or stop firing when your shields are down (in invisibility) - so the easiest solution is that your sentinel doesn't attack at all when you are invisible

 

I don't know if enemies can detect you when being hit with a silenced weapon, but if not, they could add that sentinels always attack with silenced weapons and the deconstructor
