In the online shooter SCUM, you not only have to deal with other players but also with sentry robots. These Sentry Robots are anything but easy to defeat. We tell you how long you need to shoot at a robot to get the best items.
The Sentry Robots guard the particularly valuable loot in the game world of SCUM: the best items. Accordingly, these robots are difficult opponents to defeat. However, they are not indestructible.
Tough Opponents – This is how much the Sentry Robots can take
This is how the Sentry Bots can be destroyed: If you have found interesting loot in the game world and noticed that it is guarded by a robot, then you have a problem. Sentry Robots are extremely powerful.
They are capable of taking you out with just a few hits. In return, you expend entire magazines to turn a robot into scrap metal. However, it is possible to defeat them.
Players have listed how much ammunition they consume to take down one of the tin mates.
- AKM: You need to fire at least 460 shots
- AK-47: About 600 shots are necessary to defeat a Sentry Bot
- Shotgun: You need 180 hits to destroy one of the robots
- MP5: Approximately 800 shots must be fired
- M1: With this weapon, you need at least 400 rounds to turn one of the robots into scrap
- SVD: With this weapon, you need to fire about 380 shots
- Grenades: Between 10 and 20 are needed to be victorious
Is a Sentry Robot really worth the stress?
This is why you should consider whether it is worth the effort: Although Sentry Robots guard the best loot in the game, the ammunition consumption, as shown above, is usually not worth the effort.
Much more important than loot in SCUM are the fame points, as you influence your respawn with these points. And you can also earn points in simpler ways by dealing with easier opponents. Therefore, you should always carefully consider whether it is worth fighting against Sentry Bots.
As the survival shooter SCUM is still in the early access phase, it is quite possible that there will be balancing changes. These could also affect the Sentry Robots.
In the video, you can see how the tests are conducted. The player shoots at the robots from a safe position “Safe Spot”:
