Anyone have suggestions for taking on heavies?. I'm wondering if packed locus grenades are key in dealing with them. I was thinking having an assault, hive, and packed grenades. Possibly adding a range amp for better awareness. |

Flux them first then throw whatever you have them. Especially Plasma Cannons. They love catching a well thrown PLC round.

Last night a Squad mate stepped out of the way and the ball of plasma that was meant for him hit me square in the face.

Yep. Plasma Cannon will instantly kill most suits, and put Sentinels near death.

Weapons that are effective at killing Sentinels:
- Remote Explosives
- Plasma Cannon
- Shotgun
- Nova Knife
- Charged Sniper Rifle (head shot)
- Bolt Pistol/Scrambler Pistol (head shots)
- Forge Gun
- HMG
With other weapons you should avoid a stand-up fight and try to wear them down instead.
-Weapon Combinations such as Flux Grenade + Projectile weapon.
-Multiple Rifles fired from different angles.
-Hit & run. Wear them down over multiple engagements. (If they have logi kill the logi first.)
-Mass Drivers, despite the 25% resistance, can be effective if you use cover and keep pounding them.
You will notice that most of the weapons that are effective in killing Sentinels are either Scout or Sentinel weapons. This is because the Scout is the counter to Sentinel (Paper beats Rock) and any class is effective against itself. For an Assault suit the Plasma Cannon is probably your best bet, although there are a few other weapons you could use. If you are not using a Sentinel killing weapon on your Assault suit, then you need to use tactics instead. Once any logi are eliminated it becomes a war of attrition, and most Assault suits move faster and recover faster than most Sentinels.
