Learn how to defeat the suicidal Sentry Drone in Duke Nukem 3D. Discover its weaknesses and recommended weapons like the Shotgun and Chaingun.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you hear the whining sound of a Sentry Drone, react quickly.
  2. 2
    These enemies are mechanical (immune to freezing and shrinking) and can avoid projectile weapons.
  3. 3
    Use the Shotgun or Chaingun to fight them, as these weapons are effective and allow you to maintain a safe distance.
  4. 4
    Avoid using projectile weapons as they will be dodged.
  5. 5
    Exploit their weakness by using doors as cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) from their explosions.
  6. 6
    Lure a Sentry Drone near a quick-closing door, then quickly close it.
  7. 7
    Press against the door; the drone may detonate without dealing damage to you.
Tips
  • Sentry Drones have 150 health.
  • They attack with a suicide (melee) explosion.
  • They drop no items.
  • They appear as floating camouflaged mini-ships.
  • They are immune to effects that affect mechanical enemies.
  • Use doors as cover to their explosions.
  • Recommended weapons are the Shotgun (use 2 shots) and Chaingun (use 15-20 shots) to keep them at bay and allow you to back up to a safe distance.
