Best Sentinel Gun?

[Grobbus]

Im looking for the best damage gun for my sentinel, a lot of people say that the carrier's gun is the best, but today I leveled my djinn and his gun was doin' really good job. Can't wait to get my wyrm prime to check that prime gun!

[InvaderMEEN]

The poison dart gun on the Djinn is pretty decent, but I personally think the Sweeper is the best Sentinel gun, period. I've forma'd that thing twice, it's a beast.

Sweeper, not so much for the performance, but for not drawing aggro at a distance, and being super effective at short ranges (when enemies are nearby).

prime laser rifle.....cos it's prime...THE END XD

A properly forma'd Sweeper will ensure you get 0 melee kills.

Sweeper works quite good Dethcube/Wyrm/prime funnily enough :P and gotta agree, its just amazing

I'm partial to the Deth Machine rifle when I used Fired Up, but if you want a good way to just run numbers, this is a great resource.

Prime laser rifle is probably the best sentinel weapon.

Of course, the issue is that you cant use those rifle mods on your current gun.

 

So I default best to sweeper.  I never use a shotgun, so there is no cross-use of mods.  

[UnknownGunneryChief]

Sweeper is a shotgun and knocks enemies down, also procs quite a buttload of statuses.

Deth Machine Rifle has a long shooting range, good firing speed and pretty good DPS.

Prime Laser Rifle - haven't gotten it yet lol

[OverlordMcGeek]

i go deth machine rifle on the carrier. carrier has longest kill radius and with overheat it does a better job than the deth cube.

[Darzk]

I'm a fan of the Sweeper, if only because I don't need a new set of mods to use it (as I primarily use rifles). Can be built for an awesome status rate as well; Viral/Rad/Stagger procs all the way! That way it's not making kills, and I still get the affinity when I finish the guy off.

 

Deconstructor works in a similar fashion, but the slash proc isn't as great for CC as the Sweeper's stagger.

& Darzk

cane you give us please your Sweeper build for all factions??

carrier only has a attack radius of 10m while Dethcube/Wyrm has 30m and Djinn has 60m

[evil4458]

why no one talks abt deconstructor (helios wep), it's pretty good imo -_-

[Gwenwed]

Deconstructor rocks but sadly it can only mount Helios. Also you get a lot of melee mod drops so it is not an issue.

Next I'd say yeppers for Sweeper.

I don't have Wyrm Prime yet so I can't say about the prime gun.

Sweeper for most situations, it has good damage, status chance, and uses shotgun mods.

 

Switch to the machine gun or poison dart if you use shotguns (although shotgun mods are pretty easy to get/max, so you could just get 2x of each)

Djnn (60m att range) with a machine gun or poison dart is pretty decent if you're looking for a long range sentinel.

[RobWasHere]

Deconstructor with tending to headshot very often with staggering rekt though enemies very good. Only attack speed and delay between shooting is meh.

[Grobbus]

Well I maxed the vacuum recenlty and really enjoy it.. so i'll stick with carrier and his gun.
Thx for the replies!

There are some nasty delays between firing, and not everyone wants to use Helios since his ability has virtually no combat potential. But I agree; Deconstructor is definitely an absolute beast of a sentinel weapon; each shot can score several headshots on moderately-spaced enemies.

If you go Excal and let Helios attack while enemies are blinded (since sentinels don't do anything while you're invisible, IIRC), then the quadruple damage makes Deconstructor arguably the hardest-hitting sentinel weapon in the game.
