Most sentry turrets have a range of 63 units. The Rust Sentry has a decreased range of 43 units. The Sentry Turret has a variable amount of health. Most of the time the sentry turret has 300 health, however certain weapons such as Thermo Rockets will destroy it in one shot despite only dealing 250 damage. A non-Resource Recycler Sentry Turret will stay deployed for 50.5 seconds if it is not damaged. Afterwards it takes 20 seconds for the ability to recharge.

Strategies
The Sentry Turret is an ability with a fair amount of uses. One particular strategy is to use the Rust Sentry to slow enemies, making them easy to hit with the Gear Shredder. Another strategy is to deploy a Sentry Turret at one side of an enemy, then fly to the other side of the enemy. That way, they will take damage from two directions and neither the Flak Shield, nor the Diffraction Barrier can block against both your weapons or the Sentry Turret.
