Gatling Sentry Mechanics[edit | edit source]
When called in, Gatling Sentry drops on the desired location in a hellpod and will aim and fire at any enemy inside of its effective range.
As all the turrets Gatling Sentry can easily kill friendly helldivers if they are on its line of fire, so turret should be placed to avoid that.
Gatling Sentry have pretty slow rotation speed. It can be easily overwhelmed by enemies coming from the different directions or some armored/fast enemies like 
Charger.
Gatling Sentry is a really good early game Stratagem when heavy enemies are still uncommon and helldivers don't have good weapons to fight off the enemy swarms, but its very fragile and can be destroyed easily at the higher difficulties by tougher enemies.
While 
Machine Gun Sentry is better for longer fire support / suppression fire, Gatling Sentry is more of a burst turret, with higher fire rate and DPS, but it will exhaust its ammo way faster.
When Gatling Sentry runs out of ammo it will turn off and disassemble itself.
