ULTIMATE Sentinel Battle Guide | No Man's Sky 2023

No Man's Sky continues to amaze with all the updates, but the Interceptor update seems like a monumental shift in combat. The update introduces the "corrupt" sentinels -- these guys pack a punch and have no need for special healing sentinels....EVERY one is a healer!
There's also crab-like variations that wield quad like lurching attacks as well as the ability to cloak! The good news is they reward you with a sentinel fighter location once you've defeated the fifth and final wave.

So join me as I take you through a typical corrupt sentinel wave and learn a few tips and tricks to help you make it through!

When I fight the waves of Sentinels I make a bunker. Use the terrain manipulator to dig down at an angle just enough to be underground then carve out a round level floor room to give you firing angles up out the entrance hole. Kill the adds spawners, then healers, then the rest. Mining tool can be easier to deal damage to big walkers than the boltcaster.

I had a class B multi-tool on my first battle. Had no idea it was going to continue for so long. I ran out of ammo and dug a hole hoping to bottle neck them and kill them one by one with the mining beam. This went on for 45 minutes. Standing in my hole frustrated and losing I realized I could see the sky. I called my freighter and dropped my Minator. What a game changer. Don't know if you guys listen to old techno but I had to play Crystal Methods "calling all freaks"/ "Name of the game" for that personal resurgence lol.

Good tips, I've played for a while and I didn't know the cannisters restored your shields, maybe it wasn't as important before. Thanks!

[LincolnLagers]

Thanks for the video. I also think it’s next to impossible, but I will try your tips.

[tommysalami]

My man I love the pulse spitter, although I’ve been kinda likening the boltcaster with the sentinel upgrades lately

[codeman]

Oh...almost forgot. Using the terrain manipulator can help too. like make a wall or a few ditches in the ground to slow non flying sentinels down

[robgraham]

Thanks for the tips.

Problem is that I have no idea how to upgrade the tech slots on my exosuit. I have 8 (count 'em 8) with no way that I know of to increase them.

I've been avoiding Sentinels of all types because of this. I just dig a hole in the ground and wait for them to lose interest.

tip USE THE PARALASYS MORTAR with the voltaic amplifier. they make these fights so much easier and faster.

[kittentheorangetabby]

I have the original alien mutlitool from 6 years ago. I wasted them without a sweat right out of the gate.

[brandonwithers]

i use my minotaur, and decimate them.

[bluewrites]

My favorite tactic is to fight Sentinels at a building. Usually it is a manufacturing facility. That way I have a place to duck into for my Shields to recharge. Also, the paralysis morter is very good at giving you a quick breather to reload your weapon. I use Plasma launcher too but make sure to be aware where the grenade is bouncing as it can come back to you and blowup at your feet.

[mitchbron]

bro I just found your page, you’re like a talking nms database with so much info.
i’m about to binge, thanks for your s class videos :)

[eternaldarkness]

I was surprised at how challenging these Sentinels are... luckily I'm a bit OP.
Not sure if I missed it, but another tip: the Paralysis Morter is extremely useful.

[amewett]

I just build a base at the spot where I want to fight. Make it three cylindrical rooms tall and put in a ladder all the way to the roof. I can just pick off the flyers first and then go after the ground units. None of them can pounce on me while I'm up there.

Greetings, Whisky Barrel Gaming.

I can't properly express how grateful I am that you made this video. It certainly helped me out. A lot.
If there was a combinations of words I could string together that would swell your heart with good feelings, I would certainly do so.
I am the sort of individual who never leaves the house, unless I have to.
I am afraid of pretty much everyone, so assume that I don't have many friends.
In my youth I was blessed with daughters. So, these days, they provide me with all the human contact I need.
For me, life is drawing, writing, playing video games, and watching movies.
And that's mostly it.
It does feel as though no one is listening to me, so if I made you feel in any particulatly negative way, I apologise.

I'll cut out now.

Thank you, Whisky Barrel Gaming. Keep making content.

The one thing I have noticed stays consistent throughout most of the games I've playes so far, is that movement and evasion is more important than attacking and damage application. Leg day ho!

[Mustbcedric]

Great tips man I found that the geology cannon makes quick work of the big spider ones

[tronlady]

Still don’t understand why this channel isn’t bigger? So well explained and clear and Doesn’t have a super annoying voice which talks at a 100 miles an hour ❤

If youre on PS4 or PS5, might want to try and adapt to Gyro Aim (Motion Control). Aiming is MUCH easier (once youre use to it) and you can also fly/move and shoot with greater ease without losing control of your aim.

Gyro Aim is "mouse-like aim" in a controller if setup properly. And you free up your right thumb so its easier to perform other actions while still aiming. I just do fly-bys on enemies while lighting them up with the splitter. Or fly circles around walkers lol. I notice everytime you fly, youre aim is not moving. Trust me, Gyro Aim makes these fights more fun to a degree (just a greater control of your character) but also, much faster and easier.

just started playing this game, fuck sentinels man, I cannot even farm some rocks in peace, just learned how to kill some of them, but the waves after waves its a little bit too much for a newbie, at least let me take a breath for a min or so :(
