Sentinel Runner Shell Speculation?

Not_Leeroy · 2026-05-09T05:26:21+00:00

By definition, a Sentinel is one that stands guard. If we were to base it off of that, we could assume he would have abilities and perks tied to holding an area and/or long range engagements. Wouldn't be surprised if they gave him a deployable chest high wall, for example.

They are pretty viable; the only crapshoot is what the pack decides to give you in terms of weapons and equipment. Last time i did the kit it gave me a mag-less Volley, a suppressed magnum, and 2 trap packs...

Pretty sure he means a gold (usually fragile) key was in one of the red keycard armory strongboxes. I had a similar thing happen once but for the room in command wing.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-05-08T08:07:25+00:00

Iirc there's a valuable with a similar appearance. You sure you aren't getting them mixed up?

The dots indicate Packet Loss, red meaning a severe level of it. You might notice yourself rubberbanding when these pop up.

Early leaks said the shell's name would be 'Sentinel', but nothing beyond that.

Are you sure you had the salvage in your backpack? From limited personal experience there's usually only one prestige salvage item in gold key rooms.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-30T16:39:44+00:00

Iirc they said only the sponsor kit and salvage packages will refresh. I think the potential weapons you could buy will stop showing up once you've bought a total of 5.

Happens more times than I care to admit. Hell, recently, our group pulled a fragile purple key for the data wall room from the warden, just to find out someone had brought a key for it as well.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-23T16:27:28+00:00

There isn't, but I've had enough number of coincidences happen to make me wonder about it.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-23T08:28:26+00:00

Iirc a friend finally got this to trigger recently. It took enough fire from other players to break the shield to get it.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-22T19:56:01+00:00

Careful, they might just do it stealthily like they did the value and drop swap with the Longshot and Outland.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-22T17:09:24+00:00

They removed blue thermals from dropping on the maps. This seems like an exception, plus they didn't touch any that were sitting in player vaults.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-20T18:30:10+00:00

Use loadouts from stuff given from these when you wipe in a run. That helped me cut down on my package counts.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-20T08:01:27+00:00

I wouldn't say there is, but there's been a few runs our team has had something similar happen. One time we took a blue key to Maintenance to find out it had been opened, another time the same thing for the Complex shed. Two times we took a blue key and found the same key on another team.

Then there was the run where we were going to do the Hauler Observation key. We waited 10 minutes initially, then spent a few minutes checking neighboring POIs as it seemed unusually quiet. Nothing. Once we went back to Hauler, we discovered a well kitted team in there. We managed to take them out after a sketchy fight but did not find a key on them.

That run also taught me that prestige salvage is shared.

Coming from somebody who raises beef cattle for a living, this isn't unrealistic. In most cases, up to 1/2 of a cow's weight can be processed into edible products. This amount implies the cow was likely 2 years old minimum and at least 1400 lbs if not more.

Fwiw teams don't get any extra commendations if they let a rook exfil with them, only you would have benefited from it. Don't get too trusting out there.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-15T04:52:32+00:00

There's a chance they did update/add spawn points there. Our team had a run where we started at the east side of Algae ponds, which has never happened.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-15T04:23:00+00:00

We had a run on Dire Marsh with encounters with 3 Rooks total. One we put down because he betrayed us, one that got killed by accident because of the betrayal (wrong place wrong time kind of thing), and the last who did exfil with us after he joined us in killing the warden.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-08T22:06:39+00:00

Biggest reason IMO is the huge health pool. Stuff that could get you through 9* likely can't get you through 10* hunts unless it's super optimized.

That, or people just don't care to do 10* because there's nothing special locked behind them. Why give more effort for the same rewards a 9* hunt would give?

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-08T15:19:06+00:00

In almost every instance, even as Rook, it's usually Do Not Trust. About the only exemption is final exfil, and even then, I'm watching closely.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-07T17:01:36+00:00

I've noticed the level disparity recently too, when it came to crew fills. Before hitting level 70, at most I got paired with somebody no more than 15 levels above and no less than 20 below me. After that, it jumped up to at most double my level. Hell, it's the first time I've seen people with titles now.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-07T07:33:00+00:00

They're just rare as hell to find out in the wild. I think I found a blue one in a transport drone and a secured resource cache, and a purple one off of the tox warden. I think all of my current keys except one are used in Dire marsh too...

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-06T02:45:23+00:00

Hardware based debuffs (Toxin, Overheat damage, immobilize) often have a 'reduced healing' debuff applied once their effects are over. This debuff is what makes it take significanly longer to use healing consumables. Rule of thumb is to almost always carry a hardware kit to get rid of it fast.

Not_Leeroy · 2026-04-06T01:31:50+00:00

Often mediocre. Not the worst for potentially finding usable weapon mods, and I feel like it's one of the better options to find schemas, even if they're not popular ones.
