Sentry Bot (Fallout: New Vegas)

Sentry bots are robots found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Characteristics
Sentry bots (military serial numbers SB-XXXX) are military robots made before the Great War. Similar to their Fallout 3 counterparts, they have two arms that end with deadly weapons (a minigun or Gatling laser on the right arm, and a missile launcher on the left arm), and tripod legs with wheels.

Like their Fallout 3 counterparts, Sentry Bots have armored heads and receive less damage from headshots.

They are programmed with an authoritative, professional military personality, in contrast to the "gung-ho" personality of the Mr. Gutsy model.

Normal
Sentry bots are armed with arm-mounted miniguns or gatling lasers and missile launchers, have thick armor plating, and are very fast. Although not as common as they were in Fallout 3, they can still be found in various parts of the Mojave Wasteland that contain robotic guardians such as the sacrificial chamber in Vault 11 (depending on your level) or in the Securitron Vault.

Hardened
These sentry bots can be found guarding the Crashed Vertibird in the southern Mojave. They have almost twice as many hit points as a standard Sentry Bot, but rather interestingly have no armor, with a DT of 0. One result of their increased raw health is a greater resistance to pulse grenades.

Antique Sentry bot
An "antique" version can be found in REPCONN Headquarters. It has four wheels instead of the standard three, a set of arms stemming from its back and arching around over its shoulders. Where the arms would normally join the main body in current models, it includes 3 jets on each side, as used by Mister Gutsy/Handy robots. It was probably a prototype for the current version of the sentry bot, or possibly for a version that had not entered full production.

Excerpt from the description of the antique model in REPCONN HQ's museum:

"Whoa, watch your step! You don't want to be facing this fearsome fellow if you accidentally stumble into a restricted area. Whether sporting the latest in dual miniguns, rockets, or laser cannons, the Sentrybot not only takes its job seriously, it also takes no prisoners! It's proof of RobCo's commitment to defense that these deadly guards are concealed in chambers throughout this facility, so let this be a warning: Watch where you step, or out'll come RobCo, guns blazing!
