The video primarily explores the features and performance of various sentry gun upgrades and classes, with a focus on the practicality of these automated defenses in combat scenarios. The speaker tests and critiques different sentry upgrades, including synthetic supplementation for crew performance, advanced construction for durability, shock absorption gel for increased ammunition, and high-quality lubricant for faster rotation speeds. However, the blast absorption upgrade is criticized for its ineffectiveness.
Key sentry types reviewed include the machine gun, Gatling, auto cannon, rocket, and mortar sentries. The Gatling sentry stands out for its fast firing rate and superior aesthetics, though it risks friendly fire. The auto cannon is praised for its effectiveness against armored targets and long-range support, but its target prioritization can be inefficient. The rocket sentry is noted for its damage but hindered by slow firing and missile travel speeds. The mortar sentry is highlighted for its extensive range and substantial damage output, though it struggles with moving targets.
In the latter part of the video, tier rankings are provided, with the auto-cannon and EMS mortar placed in the top tier for their firepower and bombardment capabilities, respectively. The Gatling, standard mortar, and machine gun sentries are rated lower. The speaker wraps up by inviting viewer feedback on the tier list and previews a future video on support strategems, while encouraging likes and subscriptions.

In this segment of the video, the speaker tests six different strategies related to sentry guns or automatic turrets, focusing on their upgrades, stats, practicality, and overall coolness. The speaker reiterates that although sentry guns are impractical in modern warfare due to their cost and danger, they fit perfectly for super Earth’s needs against bugs and bots. The process involves using ship management terminals, specifically under the engineering bay and robotics workshop sections, to upgrade these sentries.
Key points of upgrades include synthetic supplementation, which enhances crew performance and reduces cooldown time by 10%, and advanced construction, which improves sentry durability with stronger materials (actually superglue), increasing their HP by 50%. Additionally, the robotics workshop offers dynamic tracing, enhancing the sentry’s ability to track and be ready to fire at any moment, ensuring continual surveillance and readiness.

In this part of the video, the speaker reviews several upgrades for sentries, focusing on their impact on deployment time, ammunition capacity, rotation speed, and overall effectiveness. Firstly, they measure the reduction in deployment time from 7.75 seconds to 4.75 seconds, approximately a 40% decrease. Secondly, the shock absorption gel upgrade increases ammo capacity by 50%, enhancing damage potential. Thirdly, the high-quality lubricant upgrade boosts the speed of sentry rotations, making notable differences especially for Gatling and machine gun sentries, reducing their 360° turn time from 5 seconds to 3 seconds. Lastly, the speaker criticizes the blast absorption upgrade for being costly and ineffective compared to other available upgrades.

In this segment of the video, the speaker critiques an upgrade that claims to reduce damage taken from explosions by 50% using poyene but finds it ineffective. Tests with various explosive weapons showed no difference in their performance, as sentries were destroyed regardless. The speaker suggests a more effective upgrade would be a self-recharging shield similar to the support shield backpack, providing temporary protection and allowing for better threat response. The current upgrade is deemed a waste of resources. Moving on, the speaker begins analyzing strategems, specifically starting with the machine gun sentry, which fires 11 shots per second. Effective at a range of 75 meters, it can be advantageous on the battlefield, especially against non-armored targets. It also poses a lower risk of friendly fire compared to the Gatling due to its lower fire rate.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker evaluates various sentry weapons based on their performance, aesthetics, and sound design. They rate the machine gun sentry a 6.5 for aesthetics and describe it as having medium armor penetration, with a firing rate evaluated differently by various measurements. They conclude that the Gatling sentry, with its faster firing rate, longer range, and superior sound effects, makes the machine gun sentry obsolete. The speaker then discusses the auto cannon sentry, noting its effectiveness against heavily armored targets and its long-range capabilities. This sentry fires in salvos and offers substantial damage per shot, making it excellent for long-range support. However, the speaker mentions its occasional inefficiency in prioritizing larger targets, leading to wasted shots on smaller enemies.
00:12:00
In this segment, the speaker evaluates various weapon systems focusing on their aesthetics and performance. The rocket sentry, which launches two rockets per salvo at 2.7-second intervals, is noted for its good damage against heavily armored targets but criticized for its slow firing rate and missile travel speed, particularly over long distances. This system kills hulks in nine shots and charges in ten but does so much slower compared to the autocannon, and it’s likely to be destroyed before depleting its full ammunition. The recommended strategy is to use it at a good range due to its susceptibility to ranged threats.
Next, the mortar sentries are discussed. These have a significantly longer range of 125 meters and can fire 13.5 salvos of four shots each, totaling 54 shots. They can output massive damage but may struggle against moving targets as they do not lead their shots. Their effectiveness can be maximized by placing them outside the central battle area to better leverage their range, enhancing their survivability and impact. The mortars are praised for their aesthetics, including their impressive visual and auditory feedback.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the EMS Sentry mortar’s significant fire duration of 133 seconds, which reduces to 29 seconds with a 10% cooldown buff. They emphasize the importance of strategically positioning the mortar to maximize its potential while keeping it safe. The mortar’s shell has a detonation delay but stuns enemies for 9 seconds, offering a substantial advantage in combat. The aesthetics and effectiveness of the mortar are rated highly, and it’s recommended not to overlook it. The segment also covers a tier list ranking various mortars and sentry weapons, with the auto-cannon and EMS mortar in the top tier (S), the standard mortar in (A), the Gatling in (B), and the rocket and machine gun sentries in (C). The auto-cannon is praised for its immediate firepower, while the EMS mortar is noted for its range and long-duration bombardment capabilities.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the damage output and firing rate of certain sentry guns, notably the Machine Gun Sentry and the Rocket-firing Sentry. They then present an aesthetics leaderboard, highlighting their preference for the auto cannon sentry due to its visual and auditory feedback. The mortars are suggested as potentially popular among viewers. The Gatling and machine gun sentries are ranked lowest despite being impressive, as they do not measure up to the others. The speaker invites viewers to share their opinions on the tier list and announces that the next video will rank support strategems. They encourage likes and subscriptions before signing off.
