This sentinel is a real disappointment.

It needs 5 seconds to perform a scan : first its target flickers in red, and 5 seconds later it flickers in blue, meaning that the scan is complete.

In a mission with the usual pace, you'll scan about 3 things, usually containers or consoles, and perhaps 1 enemy.

Not what I was expecting.

The glaive weapon is powerful, but suffers from the same flaws as its big brothers : low rate of hiting, big damage, slow moving thing... It seems silent though (tested with a loki in a stealth mission).

If you are willing to spend the 5 seconds next to an unaware enemy for him to be scanned, then you could just as much scan it yourself.
