What kind of sentinel unit should I expect to see for each star rating?

I know that level one and two have the small flying Sentinels, and level 3 has the dog-looking thing.

I was hoping someone had a smarter, more definitive list.


Check out the expected appearance section in this wiki.

While on Land:

  • At level 1, expect 1 to 2 drones.

  • At level 2, expect 3 drones.

  • At level 3, expect 1 to 3 drones and a quadrapedal Sentinel.

  • At level 4, expect 2 drones and 1 walker.*

  • At level 5, expect 4 drones, 2 quadrapedals, and 2 walkers.‡

*A level 1 wanted level will be placed on you if you flee into space.

‡Your wanted level will not go away unless you leave the planet. A level 1 wanted level will be placed on you when you enter space.


While in Space:

  • At level 1, expect 1 Sentinel Starship

  • At level 2, expect 2 Sentinel Starships

  • At level 3, expect 3 Sentinel Starships

  • At level 4, expect 4 Sentinel Starships

  • At level 5, expect 1 Sentinel Starship Carrier. This will spawn 3-5 Sentinel Starships at once. It will disappear once you lose your wanted level.
