Laser Sentry

Overview
Laser Sentries are uncommon variants of the default Combine Turret that, instead of firing pulse rounds, attack using a rapid stream of high damage lasers.

Laser Sentries are identical in appearance to default Turrets, which can throw off the unprepared.

Laser Sentries first appear in Nova Prospekt, occasionally replacing standard Turrets, which can catch players off guard.

Laser Sentries behave identically to default Turrets.

Tactics
-To determine if a Turret is actually a Laser Sentry, let an Antlion or Rebel go out to attack it. The Sentry will, naturally, fire at them, revealing what type of Sentry it really is.

-Eliminate all Sentries you see before they are able to target you. Laser Sentries are capable of inflicting extreme damage per second, and are more than capable of killing an unarmored player within a mere few seconds of sustained fire.

-If you see a Sentry around a corner, take cover and throw a grenade.This will almost certainly knock over the Sentry, allowing you to pass safely.

-Be careful after knocking down a Sentry, as they will fire wildly for a seconds after being knocked over, possibly damaging or outright killing anyone in front of it.

-If you need to deal with a Sentry from a distance, you can use the Physgun to grab it and knock it over, or you can grab a prop and fire it at the Sentry with the Gravity Gun. Rockets and Energy Balls can be used as well, but this is inadvisable.

-Along with all the other Turret variants, the Strider Cannon can be used to completely destroy Laser Sentries via the primary fire. However, in Nova Prospekt, be very careful about using said cannon, as Antlions may get in the player's way, and possibly causing them to accidentally vaporize themselves.
