Sentinels

Which Sentinel did you start with? Wyrm Shade Sentinels are robotic companions that follow players around and assist in various ways depending on their set Precepts. It is possible to program sentinels with precepts, or skill mods, that can turn a sentinel into an attack drone or a support drone. It can also have many other mods which, for the most part, function similarly to warframe mods.

Sentinels, like weapons and warframes, level up with affinity. They have health, shields, armor, a weapon of their own (they cannot use it until the respective precept is installed), energy reserve and lots of utility. They can be targeted separately from a player's frame and, upon death, do not revive for the rest of the mission, unless if the user dies and spends a Revive point. Enemies tend to target a frame first, but will often target the sentinel instead.

There are two kinds of sentinels, each take up two as of yet unnamed slots. Both sentinels can be built from the foundry after buying blueprints from the market for 100,000, or purchased from the market for 75. If purchased with Platinum, the sentinel comes with a installed Orokin Reactor. All Sentinels will come with two mods specific to their type installed at creation. Sentinels has 4 polarity slots and a Orokin Reactor upgrade slot.

"With 'Revenge' and 'Ghost' as default Precepts, Shade is well suited for stealth gameplay. Shade also comes with a burst laser pistol."

- In-game Description

This is a sentinel for the stealthy and is equipped with a Burst Laser Pistol. The Shade comes with the ability to hide its owner if there are enemies in view.
