The Minigun Sentry is an item found in Unreal.
Overview[]
The item is a deployable turret. Once deployed, it will start firing in straight direction, mowing down anyone in the direct line, including its user. Despite missing its original skin and using dampener or old asbestos suit skin or default-inventory-icon skin in its iterations, the item functions pretty well.
A version of DmSky# featured the item itself.
Tips and tricks[]
- The sentry gun is most useful in tight corridors and Deathmatch. Just stay out of the sentry's sights and you'll be okay.
Trivia[]
- The item was the last extra item cut from Unreal.
- The Minigun Sentry was a cut item for Unreal that only functioned properly in late 1997 versions of the game, however the item remained in the game even in the May 07 beta version, before being cut. It used temporarily other skins such as the shared item skin. Exec lines would imply that there was a real skin made at one point and the gun has proper uv maps.
- Originally you could pickup the Sentry again after deploying it, making it multi-use. This was also true for the VoiceBox (before it expired/exploded) and for the Peacemaker, before it finished the countdown and would open or explode. During 1998, however, Epic rewrote the pickup code, and it no longer supported this re-use by default.
- The OldUnreal Patch 227 features it, as the source code had the model leftovers, but without the re-pickup functionality. Since 227j it has its own new skin, in 227i it used the asmd skin for example.
