Head-butt those pesky Sentinels | |

In Response To: Re: what WAS the needler designed for..........? (Angel_251) : I've found that they work amazingly well for taking out Sentinals. Yes, that's a very satisfying way of doing the job, and needles also make short work of any shield. I think it was a long while before I realized that method. After all, you're not really expecting the needler to work on metal. Reminds me of my early Halo days when I assumed that the pistol would be no use against a great big Banshee. It was a while before I realized it was actually the best thing for the job. But here's something I only realized this week. You can destroy Sentinels by head-butting them with a Banshee! Flying straight into them I mean. There's an opportunity for this at the end of Two Betrayals, where they're swarming outside. See how quick you can take them all out that way. After that, I wondered about whacking them. And sure enough, melee attacks can take them out too. Not terribly practical, but ok for a bit of fun at least. Try starting Two Betrayals on Easy. When you get close to the door, the Sentinels start hovering across the platform within whacking distance, though a bit of jumping can help. Also, when there's only one left, I found that it's possible to stay close behind it. It can't turn quickly enough to zap you, and meanwhile you can get a nice close look at the detail on it.
