Dunewatcher A Dart For Every Man |
| Melee |  Halleck’s Pick Halleck’s Pick Damage:
Attack Speed: |
Dunewatcher is the best spitdart that offers really high damage at long range, perfect for picking off enemies from afar. A Dart For Every Man will be your go-to disruptor for destroying enemy shields when they are too close to use a spitdart. For melee options, Halleck's Pick synergizes well with the Mentat's Assassination Skill Tree to deal even more poison damage.
Best Armor and Tools
| Type | Equipment |
|---|---|
| Head | Bulwark Helmet |
| Chest | Bulwark Chest |
| Arms | Bulwark Gloves |
| Pants | Bulwark Leggings |
| Feet | Bulwark Boots |
| Shield | Adaptive Holtzman Shield |
| Belt |  Full Suspensor Belt Full Suspensor Belt Removes gravity’s influence on the user while active, allowing for extending traversal in any vertical direction. Depletes power from a Power Pack when in use. Old Imperial origin.
|
Use Heavy Armor such as the Bulwark Set for its high armor and dart damage mitigation. Though it does have higher stamina cost and take more blade damage, this does not matter as much when fighting from afar.
How to Play Sentinel Mentat
|
|
Defend Key Areas With Mines
When defending key areas, you can discreetly place mines where you think fighting will most likely occur. Places such as entrances and hallways are common examples. These mines are remotely detonated, so try to time them well!
If you successfully use mines, you damage enemies early on and you can follow up with The Sentinel and keep dealing damage from afar.
Never Rush Enemies
Unless the situation leaves you no choice, you must never rush in to fight enemies. Your kit and loadout with this build excel in long-range damage and minimal mid-short-range engagement. Analyze the area and make sure to leverage any advantage you can find.
