Revision as of 12:49, 9 July 2010
Merge Combat Mini-Sentry Gun.
I say we merge the two. No need having 2 articles on basically the same thing. -- Smashman... (t • s) 10:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed (and obviously already done by somebody), there isn't enough to say about them for a extra articel.
- However we should create a few redirects, at least Combat Mini-Sentry Gun, maybe also mini sentry and similar stuff. I'll do it in the evening if nobody has by then. --CruelCow 12:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Mini-Sentry Health
Just how much health does the mini-sentry actually have? It dies to one Huntsman arrow, so definitely not more than 120. The Neotank 12:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Moving stuff
It appears that after the Engineer Update is released, players will be able to pick up and move their sentries around locations in a map. The Sentry retains its level after being transported in the Toolbox. It is unknown if there will be a downside to moving your Sentry. I haven't got a chance yet to play with it, but it appears to me there are no downsides beside a reduced walkspeed? Somebody with more knowledge please rewrite it --CruelCow 12:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- The sentry also has to rebuild from level 1. So if you move a level 3 sentry it has to build to level one, then level two then upgrade to level three. It's faster than a complete rebuild, but it takes the sentry out of action for a while. Worth timing the difference and finding out if it's worth moving, but walking slowly to the new place or destroying and walking faster but having a slower rebuild. There must be a distance that would be more advantagous to walk faster to, but build slower. -- Smashman... (t • s) 12:49, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
