Warframe Best Sentinel Mods
Aura mods:
| Mod: | Description: | Polarity: | Price on warframe.market: |
| Corrosive projection | Enemy armor reduced by 30% at max rank | – Polarity | 10-15 plat |
| Loot Detector | Mini-map shows loot-crates +30 loot radar | – Polarity | 15 plat |
| Energy Siphon | Warframe energy regeneration +0.6 rate | – Polarity | 10-20 plat |
| Rifle Amp | Rifle damage increased +27% | V Polarity | 10 plat |
| Steel Charge | Melee weapon damage increased +60% | V Polarity | 10 plat |
NOTE:Aura mods increase amount of total mod-slots available to mod with on your warframe if the Polarity is matching the polarity your warframe have (can be changed by forma) – it actually doubles the capacity of the aura mod so if you have say 7 capacity on your aura mod, you GAIN 14 extra mod capacity for your warframe – hence the importance of matching polarities on aura mod slot.
Warframe Mods Guide: Applying, Combining, Fusion, Transmutation, Catalysts, Reactors, and Forma. Mods are the primary means of progression in Warframe. Sure, your robot suits and deadly weapons will level up over time, yet most of the stats that actually determine how much damage you give and take comes from the mods you attach to your gear.
- If there is a Warframe Rare Resource that can be collected from a planet in their spoils drop tables (from example Neural Sensors from Jupiter or Argon Crystals from the Void) then there is a way to easily farm the resources with the Spare Parts mod equipped on a sentinel and a weapon equipped that can deal self-damage such as the Ogris/ Castanas.
- Our guide here will walk you through the best ways to spend, earn, and purchase this crucial part of the game’s economy. You can spend Platinum to purchase Warframes, weapons, equipment, sentinels, mod packs, and cosmetics from the in-game marketplace. You can also use it as a currency to buy from other players.
Also note that Aura mods such as Corrosive Projection as well as Shield Disrupt and Energy Siphon are auras that stack within a group – if all have it they all stack with each other!
Corrosive Projection is a must-have for all missions vs. higher-level enemies that you need to kill – if all in team has it basically removes all their armor making them so much easier to kill.

Energy Siphon is useful for Passive energy regeneration – I personally think its useful for Spy missions when I go Loki and don’t want to run out so easily of energy.

On the border of chartered space, an enclave of small, strange, seemingly intelligent creatures was discovered by Tenno explorers. They are mechanical entities, almost organic in appearance, with a precarious resemblance to the fearsome Sentients that had decimated human civilization. However, these creatures showed no signs of aggression, and they immediately began carrying out helpful tasks in peculiar alliance with the Tenno.
- Not to be confused with Sentient.
Sentinels are hovering companions that follow their Tenno masters around and assist in various ways, dependent on the precepts used to program them. It is possible to program sentinels with precepts, or skill mods, that can turn a sentinel into an attack drone or a support drone. Sentinels can also accommodate their own unique stat-increasing Mods, similar to Warframe mods.
Sentinels, like Weapons and Warframes, level up with Affinity. They have health, shields, armor, a personal weapon, and energy reserves. They can be targeted separately from their Tenno master and do not go into bleedout; they will immediately explode and do not revive for the rest of the mission, unless their master dies and spends a Revive or the sentinel has (Or Reawaken for Djinn) precept installed. Enemies tend to target a Warframe first, but may target the sentinel if it acquires threat.
Each Sentinel comes with a unique weapon, taking up a total of two Robotic slots, which are independent from Warframe and Weapon slots and shared with Robotic weapons and MOA Companions. An additional pair of slots costs 12 to purchase. All Sentinels will come with two mods specific to their type. Sentinels have four Polarity slots, an Orokin Reactor upgrade slot, and can be Polarized with a Forma.
Currently, all Sentinels may be acquired and equipped regardless of Mastery Rank.
AcquisitionEdit
Generally, most sentinels can be bought from the market fully-built and with their own inventory slots for 75. Alternatively, their Blueprints can be purchased for 100,000 (5,000 for Taxon), but without corresponding inventory slots to go with them.
There are several exceptions to this rule:
- The blueprint for Taxon is awarded for completing the Venus Junction on Earth.
- The blueprint for Oxylus can be traded for Solaris United Standing at The Business on Fortuna, Venus.
- The blueprints for Djinn and Helios are obtained via Clan DojoResearch.
- The Prisma Shade is purchased from Baro Ki'Teer for 300,000 and 500 (fully-built, albeit without inventory slots).
- The components and blueprints for Wyrm Prime, Carrier Prime, and Helios Prime are obtained through relics, their respective Prime Access packages, or through Trading between other players.
Robotic WeaponsEdit
Sentinels can equip other Sentinels' weapons (with the exception of Helios's , which can only be equipped on Helios, though Helios can freely use other weapons) provided additional weapons are available. However, the only way to get another sentinel's weapon is to craft that particular sentinel to retrieve their specific weapon. All sentinels do not attack by default unless they possess the precept. Players may also opt to unequip a Robotic weapon altogether if attacking enemies will be detrimental to the given mission. Though Robotic weapons can be sold independent of their parent Sentinel, the player cannot sell their last Robotic weapon.
Sentinels also share Robotic weapons with MOAs. Even though all Robotic weapons are acquired by building a Sentinel, Legs in Fortuna sells blueprints for Robotic weapons that are not attached to a Sentinel and can be used by both Companions.
All Robotic weapons can use normal weapon mods, provided the mod is compatible with the Robotic weapon in question (e.g. the Diriga's can use Sniper Mods along with Rifle Mods, but the Dethcube's can only use Rifle mods). Mods that affect Fire Rate, base damage, Multishot, Critical Hits, Elemental Damage, and Status Chance all work as normal, whereas mods that affect Reload Speed will only affect the cooldown between bursts from the Shade's or the Wyrm's , and mods that affect maximum ammo capacity have no noticeable effect on any Robotic weapon.
However, a weapon mod cannot be used in both a player's active weapon and their sentinel's active weapon, for example the cannot use the same copy of equipped on a . For this reason, mod duplicates may be needed if one wishes to use the same type of mod for their sentinel and their primary weapon. In the event that there is such a conflict when swapping out weapons in the Arsenal, the game will ask if it can swap out the shared mod with a different copy of equal power or effect.
Sentinel ModsEdit
Aside from the pool of mods shared between all Sentinels, there are at least two exclusive Sentinel Mods for each Sentinel (including any available variants) that modifies its behavior during combat. Typically, these are obtained as soon as the player claims them from the Foundry, though some of them can drop from enemies, and others can be found from othersources.
Mod PriorityEdit
As with all Companions, Precept mods will have different priorities in which they are used, based on which slot they equipped in; the top left mod slot has the highest priority and will be used most often, while the bottom right mod slot has the lowest priority and will be used least often. Managing these mods is key to get the most out of your Sentinel.

Range refers to the attack range of that Sentinel's specific targeting precept.
NotesEdit
- Whenever a Sentinel kills an enemy, the player only receives Warframe experience from the kill. Even if the player assisted in the kill, no weapon experience is awarded. Any experience gained through Affinity Orbs will be shared across all equipment.
- While using 's ability, your sentinel may periodically fire a bullet at your controlled foe.
- If a player remains idle for an extended period of time, a Sentinel will 'disable,' stopping its idle animation and causing it to not fire or use abilities, presumably to prevent players from idling. They can be re-enabled by moving several meters.
TipsEdit
- Because of the aforementioned Priority system, it may be wise to equip utility-based Precept mods (be it Sentinel-specific or general Sentinel mods) at higher priorities over attack Precept mods, so Sentinels can assist players immediately when the situation calls for it.
- , , , and can be placed in any mod slot as their effects are inherently passive, thus they are not affected by Priority nor do they interfere with it. The same applies to mods that affect a Sentinel's stats directly.
Comparison to CompanionsEdit
The following comparison assumes that the player possesses all available mods for Sentinels, Kubrows and Kavats.
Advantages:
- Easy to acquire — requires only blueprints and resources to build.
- No maintenance costs.
- Can engage enemies at range.
- Can switch between different weapons.
- Tethered to the player, keeping it from getting caught up on terrain or engaging in combat unrelated to their owner.
- Wider array of crowd-control options.
- If killed, can be resurrected with full health if a killed player uses a Revive, or if the Sentinel has equipped.
Disadvantages:
- Comparatively fragile in combat, vulnerable to Damage-over-Time effects and Area-of-Effect attacks.
- Lower maximum shields overall.
- Lower maximum health.
- Weak armor rating (although Prime Sentinels have higher armor values compared to their regular counterparts).
- Cannot regenerate health as effectively as organic Companions (however, does affect Sentinels).
- Does not go into bleedout.
- Though / can revive a Sentinel upon losing all its health, it only works a limited number of times per mission. If the Sentinel uses all its Regen charges, it stays destroyed until the player uses a revive.
- Consumes 2 inventory slots when retrieved from the Foundry, one for the Sentinel and one for its weapon.
TriviaEdit
- Interestingly, the data Fragments that players can scan on Mars seem to suggest that most of the early Sentinels were perhaps an offshoot of the Sentients that were (fortunately) non-aggressive upon their discovery, and were subsequently used to assist the Tenno during missions. This is reflected in how most Sentinels, particularly those of Tenno origin, tend to be more organic in appearance compared to those built by other factions (such as the Grineer-built Diriga).
