{{Description|An automated ally for shootouts. The singularity's coming, so enjoy friendly robots while you can!}}
The '''Sentry Turret''' is a deployable in [[PAYDAY 3]].
==Overview==
The sentry is an automated weapon that fires upon any enemies that enter its range. It will not target the crew or hostages, and is not capable of harming either with its bullets. Unlike [[PAYDAY 2]], sentries do not require ammo, and instead are based on internal heat. As the sentry fires and takes damage, it will build up heat. Once the sentry's heat threshold has been reached, it will overheat and need to be reset to function again. Players can tell how damaged a sentry is by the amount of smoke coming from it. The sentry gun will target the first enemy to enter its range and will not switch targets until its current target is dead or no longer near it.

{{SkillPD3
|name = Engineer
|tree = Engineer
|tier = 1
|basic= Unlocking this skill gives you access to the Sentry Turret equipment. This turret can be equipped in the equipment slot of your loadout.<br/><br/>The turret will shoot any non-mechanical enemies it sees until the enemies are dead or no longer within sight. As it shoots, it will build up heat until it reaches max heat. Once the sentry is at max heat, it will stop functioning. The owner of the turret can pick up the turret at any point to reset the heat to 0 and redeploy it.<br/><br/>'''Equipping this skill increases the max heat build-up of your turret by {{color|positive|20}}%'''.
|ace  = Increase the max heat build-up of your sentry turret by another {{color|positive|20}}%.}}

==Tips==
Sentries have {{color|value|250}} health, which is lowered by {{color|negative|2}} each time it fires. Sentries will fire in {{color|value|2}} second bursts, each with roughly {{color|value|14}} bullets. After {{color|value|9}} complete bursts, the sentry will overheat.

Sentries have a range of {{color|value|12}} meters, and will disengage with a target if it moves beyond {{color|value|13}} meters away. Normal sentries can find any unit horizontally within {{color|value|140°}} of the front of the sentry and {{color|value|180°}} vertically.

Sentries are best when placed in areas with clear lines of sight over the area, as enemies might run for cover before the sentry has a chance to lock on. Unlike [[PAYDAY 2]], sentries can be placed on moving surfaces and remain attached. If a heist has a moving objective, such as the armored truck on [[Road Rage]] for example, sentries can be placed on top and remain attached as the truck moves.
