Efficiently taking out Sentry Guns in Call of Duty Black Ops?
What are the most efficient ways to take out sentry guns in Call of Duty black ops? I know these work:
- Rocket Launcher
- Knife
I assume ammo, if you live long enough? Grenades probably, maybe a couple tacticals?
Thanks.
If you are talking about the Sentry Gun then the following tactics apply
- Use a flash / stun grenade and then knife it
- Change to your side with Hacker Pro
- Use a ballistic knife / tomahawk
- Deal 1000 points of damage ( it has 0.3X armour ) with bullets [ http://www.mw2forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=17071 ]
If you are talking about SAM Turret then almost the same tactics apply.
They have 1000 hit points as well and can be stunned in the same manner. ( this might be useful because 'poorly' placed SAM Turrets can kill ground targets by shooting into walls etc. ) Hacker Pro can also be used. But since they are otherwise defenseless, just walk over and knife them
The safest way to deal with turrets is getting behind it (if necessary, use a flash/stun to disable it first) and knifing.
If you are in grenade proximity and have a clear view to it, then you might throw a flash/stun grenade to disable it briefly, then throw a frag/semtex, and then shooting at it. You will need to unload about least a magazine from an LMG or a couple of them if you have an assault rifle.
If you can get closer than that, you could also throw your C4 next to it and blow it up, without even getting caught in its fire.
Remember, you can only pull this off if you live long enough and the only option iis frontal attack.
You can safely forget this on hardcore, though: one or two turret hits put an end to your already short life.
A more orthodox way of dealing with a sentry is hacking it with the Hacker Pro perk. This way, you can hack it and it becomes yours. You still need to approach it from behind though.
With Hacker you can see it through cover, with Hardened you can shoot it through light cover. It's especially efficient with Hardened Pro (+25% damage to turrets) and LMGs.
