Worth? Yes or no?

The Disposable Sentry

Gives the player a disposable mini-sentry, which is built by choosing to build a sentry when the player's primary sentry already exists. This mini-sentry cannot be upgraded, repaired, resupplied, or wrangled. Once it runs out of ammunition, it self-destructs. Not affected by building health and sentry fire rate upgrades.

The Setup

I created a Tank on mvm_decoy which is very slow.
I only used the Disposable Sentry, obviously.

The Numbers

I tested with 12 Disposable Sentrys on 3 different distances.
It takes the Disposable Sentry 34 Seconds to deplet itself.

Far away to Tank and Disposable Sentry

Test 1: 1148
Test 2: 1155
Test 3: 1138
Test 4: 1154

Average Damage: 1148,75
DPS: 33,79

Semi close range to Tank and Disposable Sentry

Test 5: 1248
Test 6: 1239
Test 7: 1224
Test 8: 1230

Average Damage: 1235,25
DPS: 36,33

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Point blank to Tank and Disposable Sentry

Test 9: 1354
Test 10: 1346
Test 11: 1360
Test 12: 1338

Average Damage: 1349,5
DPS: 39,69

Total

Total Average Damage: 1244,5
Total DPS: 36,6

Conclusion

It's NOT worth 500$ to upgrade.
These numbers i got are against a Enemy that cannot shoot back. It's the ideal situation what could happen to a Disposable Sentry. 90% of the time, it gets destroyed by Robots far easily with only 100 Health.

why do you feel then to post here in a completely different topic, just to tell me people don't like me.
Well there's one thing, the feeling is mutual, so nothing lost.

I've definitely got less than 25,000 robots killed, and I'm not fucking stupid enough to use the Disposable Shitstain. It's a waste of money and time, and if you buy it without getting the more important upgrades first, you deserve to get kicked. End of story. You're not helping your team, you're hindering its progress.

pistol, you are spending 500 cash to build one smaller sentry, where instead you could buy almost 2 ticks of resistances which thatll help to keep you alive longer.

Not to mention, other important upgrades during wave 1-2, such as metal, disp. range, wrench attack speed, building health, etc.

The mini sentry nerf made this even worse, deploys slower and still can't be boosted by hitting it.

@ T.A.W.
People with 200+ tours couldt beat wave two? and they VK you? They are areholes.

EyeOculus [author] 30 Jun, 2015 @ 8:56am

ok sure..... if you think so. Then please do not complain if people kick you because of that.

Coelian 29 Jun, 2015 @ 11:22pm

I boy the Disposable setnry for... Extrafirepower (It counts when the robots are pushignand you dont have enough firepower to push them back) Distract robots (except SB) from main sentry and other stuff.

@lonely cash collector I played a Two Cities game with 200+ tour people who couldn't beat wave two... and then votekicked me... and then I joined a game where everyone had single digit tours and we got to wave 3 in 15 minutes.
