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 Barrage 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 (650 vs. 560)
  • Higher Shield (300 vs. 250)
  • Higher Armor (150 vs. 80)
  • 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).

Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)

Changes to Companion Precepts

Many Companion Precept effects are currently too small or too brief to be really beneficial. We want your choice of companion to feel more meaningful and for your Companion to contribute in a more visible way, so there are a whole lot of buffs to get through.

• Looter (CARRIER Sentinel):
  • Maximum range increased from 12 meters to 22 meters, and the description updated to clarify that it functions as a wave rather than the sentinel shooting each crate individually.

Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)

COMPANION STAT CHANGES

Two broad changes have been made with regard to your Companion's base stats to increase their staying power:

1. Health, Shields and Armor have been refactored across the board.
This simple numeric buff was made with the goal of increasing Companion survivability. This also means that the choice of whether to use, for example, Enhanced Vitality or Linked Vitality, will depend on your Warframe choice instead of the Linked Mod always being strictly superior.

2. Non-Sentinel Companions now gain their full Health and Shield values immediately when you acquire them.
Historically Health and Shield values would increase as your Companion ranked up, which you could see as "Rank Bonuses" in the Upgrades screen. We've removed this behavior and simply given Companions what would end up being their Rank 30 values at Rank 0. This should let you immediately take your Companions on more difficult missions after earning them!

Including both the removal of Companion Rank bonuses, and the base increase to stats, the following lists the stat changes for all Companions at Rank 0:

Revised Sentinel Stats:

• Carrier: 560 Health (from 200), 250 Shield (from 100), 80 Armor (from 50)
• Carrier Prime: 650 Health (from 400), 300 Shield (from 100), 150 Armor (from 150)

Update 33.5 (2023-06-21)

• Fixed the attachment angle on the Carrier Prime’s right wing being incorrect.

Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)

• Fixed wing attachments on Carrier Prime not orienting correctly.

Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)

• Converted materials to PBR on the Para Carrier Skin

Hotfix 22.20.4 (2018-05-22)

• Fixed Carrier’s Ammo Case precept continuing to function after it has died.

Update 16.11 (2015-07-07)

• Introduced Carrier Prime.

Update 10.2 (2013-09-27)

• Carrier would only suck up drops with Vacuum if the host has not picked them up already. Now he sucks up drops regardless of if the host has picked them up!

Update 10.0 (2013-09-13)

• Introduced.
