Sentry Bot (Fallout 3)

These Sentry Bots are a military robot model made before the Great War. A different Sentry Bot model was used in military bases in California, while this one has been seen mainly in the Capital Wasteland. They have two arms that end with deadly weapons (a Minigun or Gatling Laser and a Missile Launcher), and three legs that end with wheels. The Sentry Bot is well armored and is capable of taking more than one direct missile without being destroyed.

Sentry Bots are the highest level robot NPCs in Fallout 3, and are much more powerful opponents than Protectrons, Robobrains, and Mr. Gutsys.

The army model is designated SB-1194 (visible on its back), it is not known if this applies only to the army model or all models.

Appearances
This sentry bot model appears only in Fallout 3.

Tactics

 * One quick way to get past these metal hulks is to throw a pulse grenade at them which temporarily disables the robot. With this window of opportunity, unload on the robot without fear of reprisal.
 * Cripple its missile launcher arm then fire from a distance.
 * Cripple the minigun arm and attack up close.
 * When facing a solitary Sentry Bot, the combination of its slow movement and charge up time of its gatling lasers/minigun makes it possible for you to circle strafe around it without it being able to fire any shots at you.
 * Sentry Bots have high resistance against fire based weapon such as Flamer. However, Shishkebab surprisingly deals incredible damage to Sentry Bots.Underbow2 09:10, 23 December 2008 (UTC)]]
