Sentry-Bots (Fallout 3)

Sentry-Bots, or simply Sentry Bots without the dash, are possibly THE ultimate robot enemy in fallout. It is by far the strongest robot in the game, and unfortunately, most of them are hostile. They are equipped with two weapons:


 * 1) Minigun/Gatling Laser, Depending on the series
 * 2) Missile Launcher

Uses
Sentry Bots are usually found within military areas, such as the National Guard Depot and *Adams Air Force base*. They serve as guards, obviously, and can pose a threat to an unsuspecting player, whether he/she is experienced or not (talking about game skills, not character level and... well, both actually). Strategies for defeating the Sentry Bot and other creatures in fallout 3 can be found *Right Here (WARNING!: SPOILERS (CATEGORY: ENEMIES))*

Habitats/Encountering Areas
S-Bs are generally inhabiting mechanical areas and military forts and bases, but can be encountered in the middle of nowhere, too.

Sentry Bots encountered in forts and bases are usually scripted to their possition, meaning that they are there no matter how far you are in the game. One example would be the National Guard Depot.

Sentry Bots Encountered in the Capital Wasteland, however, are usually weaker and much more random, and they don't appear until you've reached, say, level 12-15 in-game. *Warning* "Wild" Sentry Bots are still mostly found randomly wandering around cliffs and factories, and are dropped off Verti-Birds together with Enclave Soldiers.
