Helldivers 2gives players powerful weapons, from assault rifles, shotguns, and SMGs to pistols. The offense does not end here, and the stratagems, the meat of the game’s combat, are readily available at the player’s disposal to cause chaos and utter destruction.

The best defense is a good offense in the game, and this aspect is mostly overlooked by many players. The usage of Sentry stratagems is scarce, especially in longer missions, but this is mainly due to poor health and the smaller ammo count of the Sentry turrets. This guide explains how to increase ammo for Sentry turrets in the game.

How To Get More Sentry Ammo

There is no active or passive way in the field to increase the ammo for already deployed Sentry turrets.

The only way togive your Sentry defensive stratagems extra ammunitionis by buying theRobotics Workshop ship module upgrade called Shock Absorption Gel.

Unlocking Shock Absorption Gel Ship Module Upgrade

The Shock Absorption Gel ship module is the second upgrade in the Robotics Workshop tree. To get it, you need tobuy Dynamic Tracking first, which costs 80 Common Samples, 40 Rare Samples, and 5Super Sample resources.

All Sentry stratagems willget a 50 percent increase in ammo count after purchasing the Shock Absorption Gel. This is a significant gain, and utilizing turrets in Eradicate or Defend Automaton missions will become ideal.

The Automaton Defend missions have a vertical map where turret placement is always safe at the top. With the Shock Absorption Gel ship module upgrade, you can clear waves much more conveniently, as the Sentry turrets' ammo will last longer.

Purchasing Advanced Construction

Sometimes, your deployed turrets get destroyed faster due to low health. The ammo goes to waste that otherwise could have destroyed swarms of bugs or an incoming bot wave. While theAdvanced Construction ship module upgrade does not increase the Sentry ammo,it increases their health by 50 percent,indirectly increasing the longevityof the equipment.

The purpose is to make Sentry turrets last longer, and Advanced Construction enables you to achieve that.Without this upgrade, yourturrets have reduced health, and theirammo count can potentially be lostonce a Sentry is destroyed.
