Act 5 · Patch 13.05

Deadlock

Sentinel · Hard stop

Sentinels are defensive experts who can lock down areas and watch flanks, both on attacker and defender rounds.

Why we fit it where we do Single-entry sites let one mesh turn a rush into a walk.

The four

Barrier MeshC · wall
EQUIP a Barrier Mesh disc. FIRE to throw forward. Upon landing, the disc generates barriers from the origin point that block character movement.
Sonic SensorQ · trap
EQUIP a Sonic Sensor. FIRE to deploy. The sensor monitors an area for enemies making sound. It concusses that area if footsteps, weapons fire, or significant noise are detected. This ability can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.
GravNetE · trap
EQUIP a GravNet grenade. FIRE to throw. ALT FIRE to lob. The GravNet detonates upon landing, forcing any characters caught within to crouch and move slowly.
AnnihilationX · damage
EQUIP a Nanowire Accelerator. FIRE to unleash a pulse of nanowires that captures the first enemy contacted. The cocooned enemy is pulled along a nanowire path and will die unless they are freed. The nanowire cocoon is destructible.

Rehearsal Custom practice · Throw the mesh into the choke and time how long it actually buys.

Watch out The sensor triggers on sound — your own team walking sets it off.

Buying for it

Priority: Barrier Mesh, then armour
First utility: Mesh across the main entry
Position: Behind the mesh, not in front of it
The mistake: Meshing the door the team still has to leave through
