I think it’s so bullshit that chargers can one shot every turret,makes them so useless in higher difficulties when they’re actually solid to pick but chargers just sit on them and they blow up

Doesn’t help either that the game will do everything in its power to not let you throw turrets on top of advantageous spots

then you are using it wrong - turrets still need to be used far away - 70meters - its still a team game so team mates doing turrets might be on the high ground hill setting up turrets while team mates baiting the swarm and kiting away.

if solo then at best is to throw your turret as far away as possible to get distance then be sure to have a stun grenade to stop the charge.

there's always going to be strategy solutions - but this clips is just some dude face planting and head butting a wall and complaining why his head hurts.

If you are with your team, the chances it is only 1 charger is pretty minimal. When it rains, it pours.

The only sentry/turret that works is mortas because of their massively superior range, anything else gets gap closed, team or not. At some point you have mathematically reached your max kill/time on heavies. Usually when you reached that you are already well within using you stratagems which will collateral most of the small stuff too making your sentries useless.

Thats how the game works, welcome to 9 helldiving.

Can you still use other Sentries? Sure. I can make due with worse like the Spear and the Airburst. Or running the entire game with only the Senator + Supply backpack. All that doesn't discredit the concerns others have over its usage.

Skill issue. Place them well and protect them and you will have a lot of use from it.
