Is the Rocket or Autocannon Sentry best? - Helldivers 2
21Both the Autocannon Sentry and Rocket Sentry do similar damage and have similar armor penetration. What distinguishes them is the rocket trail and blowback from the rocket sentry, verses the three round salvos fired by the Autocannon version.
This makes the Autocannon sentry better for static defenses, like extraction, because your team will likely be holding a position, not venturing out into the blast zone. The Rocket Sentry is better if you need to operate within the firing arc of the Rocket Sentry, as the rocket trail will alert fellow Helldivers of its presence, allowing them to adjust positioning in order to remain out of the way of the sentry's shots!
If forced to use in suboptimal positions, place the autocannon sentry away from your squad's position. The Rocket sentry can be placed such that the rocket back blasts will hit cover instead of your fellow Helldivers by placing is beside a durable wall. This will limit its field of fire, but this is aa better option than killing a fellow team member.
