Arc Raiders Sentinels Cores are necessary for a few missions and projects, and when you need to find one you'll want to know where to look. They aren't easy to find as they're a semi random spawn in a few locations on each map. So even when you know where to look, there's still an element of chance as to whether you'll actually get one. Then there's the whole issue with having to defeat an automated heavy turret that will open fire every time you pop your head to to take a shot. Below I'll show you all of the known Sentinel locations in Arc Raiders, as well as how to get Sentinel Cores and, if you're lucky, you won't even have to fight them!
Where to find 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 in Arc Raiders
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.
