Sentinel Loadouts

Main article: Category:Carrier Sentinel Build

Notes

• The Carrier exclusive precept mod  Striker no longer drops as of Update 24.0 (2018-11-08). It was replaced with the non-exclusive  Assault Mode precept mod.
  •  Striker cannot be simultaneously equipped with  Assault Mode.
• Carrier's  Striker precept has a shorter enemy detection range than other sentinels. Giving the Carrier any other weapon will not alter this range as the range is determined by the precept, not the weapon.
  • This is also applicable for the opposite; giving another sentinel the Sweeper shotgun would result in reduced efficiency as the shotgun's spread and damage fall off will reduce both the chance to hit enemies with all bullets at maximum damage and at far ranges.
• The shotgun fires in 2 shot bursts. Both the speed of the bursts as well as the time between bursts can be improved by both  Shotgun Spazz and  Accelerated Blast.
  • If it kills an enemy, it will immediately shoot at the next enemy, even if this may exceed his normal fire rate. This allows it to eliminate large groups of weak enemies very fast as long as they do not take more than 2 shots to kill.
  • Using  Ammo Stock at 50% will increase the sentinel's attack to a three-round burst, allowing it to reliably kill enemies in quick succession as long as they don't take more than 3 shots.
• Sweeper has a polarity slot.
• The Sweeper shotgun can ragdoll enemies who have just been ragdolled (particularly noticeable with  Soul Punch) if Carrier shoots them before they start to recover from the ragdoll effect.
  • It also seems to have an unnaturally high chance to ragdoll enemies with a killing blow.

Bugs

• Sweeper, regardless of the sentinel it is on, has trouble targeting enemies in Vauban's  Bastille and it will shoot below the enemies instead.
• With  Regen installed, in rare cases, Carrier revives but will not attack enemies while  Vacuum will still attract all pickups which may clutter the player's screen. This is known to happen during heavy lag.

Trivia

• Carrier was the first Sentinel with an alternate skin that changes its appearance completely, in the form of the Para skin released in Update 13.0 (2014-04-09).
• In Update: The Vacuum Within (2016-10-05),  Vacuum was removed from Carrier and was replaced with  Ammo Case, while the vacuum effect was applied to all Sentinels. In Hotfix: The Vacuum Within 2 (2016-10-06),  Vacuum was returned to Mod form as an optional precept for all Sentinels.

Comparisons

• Carrier Prime, compared to Carrier:
  • Higher health (400 vs. 200).
  • Higher armor (150 vs. 50).
  • Additional Polarity.

Notes

• The Carrier exclusive precept mod  Striker no longer drops as of Update 24.0 (2018-11-08). It was replaced with the non-exclusive  Assault Mode precept mod.
  •  Striker cannot be simultaneously equipped with  Assault Mode.

Trivia

• When the Ash Prime Access was launched, the Carrier Prime was only included in the Bladestorm package, the most expensive of the Prime Access packages, running counter with previous Prime Access packages where non-Warframe Primes were included in the lower tier offerings. This has since been rectified with Hotfix 16.11.2 (2015-07-08), which included a script that gave the Carrier Prime to players who bought eligible Prime Access packages.
• Currently Carrier Prime, together with Wyrm Prime, has the highest armor of all Sentinels, reaching up to 315 armor (51.22% damage reduction) with a max rank  Metal Fiber.
  • Carrier also possesses the highest health of all Sentinels, reaching 1280 health with a max rank  Enhanced Vitality.
  • With a max rank  Metal Fiber and a max rank  Enhanced Vitality, Carrier Prime possesses 2624 effective health (not including damage type resistances/weaknesses).

Vaultings

• On May 24th, 2017, it was announced that Carrier Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on May 30th, 2017. Any preexisting components or fully-built sentinels will remain as is.
