Sentinels in Arc Raiders aren't easy to find, but you'll know when you're close to one. Sirens and a laser training on your head reveals the fact that an automated sniper turret is somewhere nearby, but it's worth knowing about as these drop the Sentinel Core when destroyed – a useful piece of scrap that allows for certain upgrades and progression accordingly. Below I'll show you all of the known Sentinel locations in Arc Raiders, as well as how to get Sentinel Cores. You don't even have to fight them!
All Sentinel locations in Arc Raiders
Sentinels in Arc Raiders spawn in every map except Stella Montis, and while they're not guaranteed to spawn by any means, they have a chance to appear in specific locations. We've marked down all the confirmed potential spawn points for Sentinels on the maps above.
Keep in mind that Sentinel spawns are fairly rare. it's pretty common not to see one at all in a game, so don't get confused if one isn't showing up.
When you're close to a Sentinel, you'll see a laser sight determining where it's aiming. Sentinels are basically robot sniper turrets, and when one spots you, the laser will turn red, an alarm will sound, and it'll begin to track you. More lasers will concentrate on you, and when they all converge into one line, it'll fire.
It probably goes without saying, but you do not want to get shot by a Sentinel, as they're capable of some of the highest damage in Arc Raiders. They can't one-shot a player on full health, but they definitely can come close to it, and they don't miss, meaning you'll need to find cover. Open spaces around Sentinels are dangerous, so use cover or a distraction to get close enough to shoot it. Fortunately they don't have a huge amount of health, so a few shots with an Anvil or similar should take it down.
Where to find Sentinel Firing Cores
Sentinel Firing Cores are, of course, found on Sentinels, usually at a rate of one core per enemy. However, they also have a small chance to be dropped by Arc Couriers, the white, saucer-shaped objects that you can breach open, usually marked by plumes of smoke. It's absolutely worth prying open every Courier you see, and worth keeping in mind that there's generally more crashed Couriers during Electromagnetic Storms in Arc Raiders.
