Description
This anchored A.I. Sentry is great for home defence. Even its own built in mini-auto cannon packs a hefty punch. Equip it with more firepower to really send those unwanted visitors packing.

The Hawkeye Helios A.I. Sentry is a grade 2 Control block manufactured by Hawkeye. Like all Hawkeye blocks, it can be crafted with a Hawkeye Fabricator.

It has 5 attachment point(s) and takes up 2 cell(s).

Usage

The basic functionality remains unchanged when compared to it's GSO counterpart, as both are used as a combination of a defensive AI and a turret. The main difference is the increased cell count in exchange for a much better weapon, reduced anchoring range, and a slightly larger fuel tank. The weapon is not very versatile (mostly due to being a directional mount), but damage-wise it can perform better than Hawkeye Machine Gun and even Hawkeye Auto Cannon when corrected for their sizes .

Even though it has low torque, it's still higher than the GSO counterpart. The main difference between this and a much larger anchored turret is that it allows lightweight, versatile turret designs that are able to dish out intense fire against enemies, while able to be deployed in much larger numbers.

This is the only cab that when it dies, blocks around it receive a small amount of damage instead of only being pushed away, likely due to it having a much heavier weapon than other cabs.

Trivia

• Like all blocks with an anchor, the Helios A.I. Sentry takes more space when anchored.
• It, the Venture Dual Auto Cannons, and the Hawkeye Auto Cannon are the only three ranged weapons that require a short heat-up period before they can fire.
• Despite being a sentry gun, it can also work as a mobile AI when unanchored, but will be unable to move by itself, as it lacks any sort of internal propulsion.
