Background

This section is transcluded from Sentry bot. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

Sentry bots (military serial numbers SB-XXXX) are security robots made before the Great War with the express purpose of participating in the heaviest of firefights during war. Where the Mister Gutsy is a hovering platform with modest armor plating and the protectron a push over, the sentry bot is a powerhouse, equipped with a sturdy armor plating, powerful weapons integrated into its chassis, and benefits from high mobility thanks to wheels mounted on its three legs.

Characteristics

Specifications

Sentry bots have two arms equipped with powerful weapons: a minigun or Gatling laser on their right, and a missile launcher on their left. All models have wheeled, tripod legs.

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

Gameplay attributes

Sentry bots are extremely durable, possessing as much health as a deathclaw and greater damage resistance. However, they do not have a weak point that can be targeted for additional damage. In fact, their heads are more durable than their torsos, though targeting the head yields a greater chance of a critical hit. Like other robots, sentry bots are equipped with a Combat inhibitor and will frenzy if it is disabled. Exploiting this weakness can be helpful in dispatching other enemies, since sentry bots are among the most powerful foes in the game. Although the sentry bot is quite fast, it has a slow turning rate, which can be used to the player's advantage.

Sentry bots are the highest-level robots in Fallout 3, and are more formidable opponents than protectrons, robobrains, and Mister Gutsy models.

Sentry bots are among the toughest enemies in the game and present a serious threat to any low level player unlucky enough to encounter one. It is not uncommon to find sentry bots roaming the Capital wastes in packs of two or three. These robots are mobile fortresses; their high level of health and lethality makes them the preeminent fighting machines of the Capital wastes.

Notes

• While the head of a sentry bot is the smallest part of the enemy, it has an increased chance for a successful hit in V.A.T.S. even when at great distances with the missile launcher, (it can be difficult to select on the PC version).
• Using the Robotics Expert perk, on a hostile sentry bot, you get the option to talk or shut down. If the talk option is selected, the bot will only say, "Do not interfere with security operations."
• A sentry bot can be found in Big Town. Fixing it is one of the options for helping the residents fight off the attacking super mutants after the completion of the quest, Big Trouble in Big Town.
• There is a sentry bot guarding The Citadel, it will disappear after the Take it Back! quest is finished. Prior to this however it will respawn if destroyed, allowing you a limitless supply of scrap metal, missiles, and whatever else it may carry.
• Upon finishing The Superhuman Gambit, the Mechanist's robots may remain. One or both will be sentry bots.
• There are two sentry bots in the Control Room of Raven Rock guarding the entrance to the room where you find President Eden, and will attack the two non-hostile Enclave soldiers, killing them. Like other sentry bots they can be shut down, but destroying them grants the player with only 1 experience point and negative karma. These sentry bots also have a unique piece of dialogue, saying, "The president will see you now."
• As with other types of robots, pulse grenades are especially effective against the sentry bot.
• Looking through the game's meshes, it appears that the Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave were to have their own uniquely-skinned Sentry Bots at one point in development. However, the only unique Sentry Bot skins used in the game are U.S. Army and Outcast. Enclave Sentry Bots use the generic steel skin.

Notable quotes

Sentry bots possess an authoritative array of speech programming, mainly expressing its current programming out loud, much like the protectron. However, sentry bots have a "deeper" voice, instilling fear in all.

• "Alert. Non-combatants are advised to leave the area. Security sweep in progress. Lethal force may be used without warning."
• "No hostiles detected. Continuing perimeter sweep."
• "Threat level: red."
• "Do not interfere with security operations."
• "Warning. Non-combatants are advised to leave the area. Security sweep in progress. Lethal force may be used without warning."
• "Alert. Hostile detected. Lethal force authorized for all units."
• "Do not interfere with security protocols."
• "Have a nice day."

Bugs

• PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 PC Outcast sentry bots will always spawn with the Gatling laser arm, despite resources for the minigun variants being present.
• Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 If you disable the sentry bot, the sentry bot will be disabled but will keep on performing the animation where he is disabled.
