In Destiny 2, the Sentinel has been presented in detail. Here you can see the Titan with its “Captain America” super.
IGN has released more exclusive information about Destiny 2 today, on July 12th. This time it’s about something many Guardians have been eagerly anticipating: the Sentinel.
The Sentinel is the new Void subclass for Titans. In Destiny 2, with the Dawnblade, the Arcstrider, and the Sentinel, there are a total of three new focuses, although the Warlock and Hunter focuses have already been thoroughly introduced during play events. Detailed information about the Sentinel has so far been hard to come by.
In the IGN video, you can now see the Sentinel extensively in action:
The Sentinel enables many playstyles, featuring a revised Bubble
Those hoping for a complete focus presentation with all focus nodes will be disappointed by this video. The developers only provide a general introduction to the Titan subclass. Here are the most exciting details:
- The super of the Void Titan is a shield. Similarities to Captain America are immediately evident. The shield can be used in various ways.
- The Titan can use this Void shield as protection to approach enemies safely.
- He can use the shield as a melee weapon. This attack is said to be similar to the shoulder charge of the Striker.
- Additionally, you can throw the shield at enemies and eliminate them from a distance. The shield can bounce off multiple surfaces and take down multiple enemies.
You can see what all this looks like in the video. There hasn’t been much gameplay footage of the Sentinel so far.
The Sentinel is the first Void subclass to have a mobile super. However, the Void Titan can still activate a stationary super:
- By holding down the buttons for activating the super, a Bubble will be erected – a “Dusk’s Barrier”, as the Bubble is actually called.
Here is a novelty. The Bubble has “hit points” and you can see when the Bubble is about to be destroyed. It starts to develop holes and becomes diffuse.
The Sentinel is intended to be an aggressive supporter overall. You can find out how it plays for yourself next week. Because it will be playable during the Destiny 2 beta.
What do you think of the Sentinel?
