The Sentinel Firing Core can be recycled and is used to power one of ARC Raiders’ toughest defenses, stationary Sentinel turrets. If you want to maximize your budget for crafting or optimize your loadout, you need to know how to buy arc raiders items. Also, you will need to know if you should recycle it, sell it, or save it.

 Sentinel Firing Core item profile

 Cores sell well by default because of their weight and size. But they can also be used to convert turret-kills into crafting materials if you're in a hurry.

 Sentinel Firing Cores Drop

 Sentinels - large, stationary towers guarding key outdoor areas - drop these cores. They are usually mounted on rooftops and ledges, with a clear fire lane. The Sentinels monitor movement and can fire a heavy round when in sight.

 Fight safely the turret in order to farm cores

 Establish cover first. Sentinels penalize open angles. Plan a route using hard cover which interrupts their sight lines.

 When you see multiple beams merging on you, the shot is imminent. When multiple beams are merging, a shot is coming. Change position or go behind cover.

 Aim for yellow capsule. It is faster to end a fight by hitting the weakpoint repeatedly.

 The right ammunition is essential. Heavy or medium rounds will be most effective against this target.

 Note: While stationary, sentinels are not forgiving. You should treat each peek as though it were a shield. A few well-placed weakpoint shots is better than continuous body fire.

 Recycle vs. Salvage vs. Sell

 When you have a Sentinel Core, there are three obvious options. You can see what each one yields, and how the math works.

 Sell the core if you want raw currency. This will net you 680 more coins per item. Recycle only when you're looking for the Alloys and Components. Salvage allows players to only salvage Mechanical Components if they want a simple process.

 Quick-takeaways for efficient runs

 Only use cover when fighting Sentinels.

 Use the laser as a cue to duck or peek from a fresh angle.

 Bring heavy or medium rounds to reduce exposure.

 The core can be sold for efficiency, recycled when your workshop is in need of Alloy or Components.

 The Sentinel Firing Core is at a great intersection of materials and money. Sell coins if they are a bottleneck. If crafting's your bottleneck, deconstruct it. Learn to anticipate the drop of a turret and play with angles.
