The 2nd-generation Sentinels (also known as G2s) are all-rounders that cover a range of different roles at once, specializing in neither. However, they also have a number of unique armaments that allow them to fulfill roles the other Sentinel models cannot. Here are the best armaments of choice for G2 Sentinels available to get.

10 Heavy Knuckles

One of the G2 Sentinels’ no-cost options for attacks is a heavy two-hitting close-ranged attack. This move does a large amount of damage for no cost, making it a good way to quickly recover EP for more essential armaments and weapons.

The Heavy Knuckles are a basic armament for the G2 Sentinels and will be frequently used early on in the game. However, as more useful and more powerful armaments become available, the Heavy Knuckles are unlikely to see more use outside of quickly recovering EP.

9 Multi Rocket Launchers

A long-range attack that hits both aerial and ground kaiju in a large radius. The Multi Rocket Launchers are one of the G2 Sentinels’ many ranged options and can hit a large number of kaiju in a single instant, making it good for crowd control.

Unlike the many armaments available to the Sentinels, the Multi Rocket Launchers do not increase in damage when upgraded. However, they are still useful due to their range and area of effect, allowing them to still be useful even in the endgame.

8 Repair Emitter

An armament unique to Iori Fuyusaka, Repair Emitter is a support unit that heals ally Sentinels within range for a short period before exploding. It can be destroyed by enemy kaiju, but its survivability is bolstered by its ability to heal itself as well.

Repair Emitter is a useful tool in situations in which a lot of incoming damage can be expected. The healing is a bit slow, but it can be helpful in a pinch. This armament is not exactly necessary, but it might be helpful in situations where there are numerous kaiju swarming the map.

7 Jammer Rocket Launchers

Another support armament in the G2 Sentinels’ repertoire, Jammer Rocket Launchers don’t do a lot of damage, but they do have a variety of effects. Kaiju hit by the Jammer Rocket Launchers move slower and take more damage from other attacks.

Jammer Rocket Launchers can be very versatile, as they can slow the advance of kaiju and allow other Sentinels to take them out easier. While they may not clear out the kaiju themselves, they are a strong support option that can turn the tide during a tough battle.

6 Shield Emitter

Like Repair Emitter, the Shield Emitter is a support unit meant to help instead of deal damage. It grants shields to any ally Sentinels in range, allowing them to weather attacks from kaiju without taking damage. While the Shield Emitter can also be destroyed, it is also able to shield itself, protecting it from damage.

Like Repair Emitter, Shield Emitter is useful in situations where unavoidable damage is expected. It is slightly better because it blocks damage instead of simply healing it, and it is usually unnecessary to run both options at the same time.

5 Anti-Ground Piercing Rocket Launchers

The Anti-Ground Piercing Rocket Launchers are an armor-piercing version of the Multi Rocket Launchers, although these can only hit grounded kaiju. Despite this, the armor piercing effect is important since many boss kaiju are armored. Pairing this armament with another Sentinel’s EMP effect can quickly clear out waves of kaiju quickly.

Since armor piercing moves are important in many missions, Anti-Ground Piercing Rocket Launchers give G2s a very useful long-range option. While they are not the most damaging option in the G2s’ arsenal, they are still vital for clearing kaiju away quickly.

4 Guardian Avenger

Another support armament in the G2 Sentinels’ varied armory, the Guardian Avenger is the upgraded version of the Guardian armament. Both Guardians draw the attention of kaiju, but the Guardian Avenger explodes upon death, killing any kaiju in range.

The Guardian Avenger is very good at keeping kaiju away from the terminal, so it’s best applied in situations where there isn’t enough protection or when they are too many kaiju swarming the terminal at once. While its uses are situational, it is very potent in its specific uses.

3 Plasma Arc Fusion Cutter

This armament is extremely expensive but is at the same time incredibly powerful. This is the strongest move available to G2 Sentinels and is armor piercing as well. While the attack does not hit aerial kaiju, this is a fairly small issue.

Despite its strength, it may not see much use on G2 Sentinels since they tend not to wade into enemy waves fairly often. Its massive cost can also make the move difficult to use. Still, it is a valuable move that can deal massive damage in an instant.

2 Hyper Condenser

Hyper Condenser is a passive armament that only certain characters can obtain. For the G2 Sentinels, only Ryoko Shinonome is able to obtain this upgrade. This upgrade allows her to drop two Sentry Guns at the same time in exchange for extra EP.

Sentry Guns are some of the most powerful weapons in the game, and Hyper Condenser allows Ryoko to drop two of them at once. This is an incredibly powerful effect that can set up a strong defense immediately from the start of the mission, making defending the terminal that much easier.

1 Sentry Gun

The Sentry Guns are the most powerful weapons in the game. They are automatically attacking turrets that fire off a powerful railgun shot. They are deceptively powerful, and can easily hold back waves of kaiju on their own.

Each Sentinel can place a maximum of eight Sentry guns, making the efficacy of this armament that much better. It’s possible to use Sentry Guns alone to clear entire missions, and their strength only begins to wane in post-game missions. Still, they are essential for clearing the story missions and are still powerful afterward.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is currently available on PS4 and Switch.
