The Sentinel is a medium turret ARC that sits atop buildings and ledges. It is always found outside and often in high locations overseeing an open area. Sentinels have a small, vulnerable capsule attached to the rear of their swiveling arm.
Combat tips
The Sentinel will aim a thick orange laser at the Raider while tracking their movement. After a short time, multiple lasers will converge onto the target, indicating the Sentinel is about to fire. Once the lasers converge onto the target, it will fire a Heavy Ammo round after a short delay, dealing major damage. If the firing lasers converge after the target has left line of sight, it will fire at their last known location. The Sentinel has significant targeting range, don't assume you're safe because you're far away.
When fighting a Sentinel, find solid cover. Its reaction time and fire rate are relatively slow, and it can therefore be shot at faster than it reacts. Aim for the yellow canister on the swivel arm to deal increased damage. Attacks can be avoided by Dodge Rolling, sliding into cover, moving behind cover, staying out of sight for extended periods.

Codex entry
The Sentinel is a stationary turret found perched in high places, equipped with a laser scanner and high-damage sharp-shooting capabilities.
The Sentinel's light plating leaves it relatively exposed, but it can be challenging for Raiders to get close enough for a clean shot. Learning how to approach a Sentinel without going down oneself is a risky endeavor.
