Path of Exile’s Sentinel expansion wants players to challenge themselves. More than any action RPG, Path of Exile wants players to set the conditions for their pain. With highly customizable endgames and quarterly events like a double-or-nothing gamblers arena, the major focus is on choosing how to challenge yourself in exchange for loot.

And an upcoming expansion, Sentinel, brings a new, seemingly more direct way to challenge yourself. A satchel full of consumable drones It empowers enemies while infusing them full of bonus items. For players launching new characters in this league, they’ll quickly find Sentinels dropped as monster loot.

Each of these small drones has a color to show its behavior, power level, and various modifiers and perks that change the way it behaves. Equipped with special slots for their own hotkeys, it can deploy these drones at almost any time during the battle, spice up players’ current encounters. So they can prepare enough POE Currency to make their battle easier.

The Red ‘Stalker’ Sentinels hover near the player for a minute, buffing any enemies they find for a relatively controlled rampage. The Blue ‘Pandemonium’ Sentinels activate instantly, providing buffs to every enemy on screen, sometimes even off-screen. Yellow ‘Apex’ Sentinels behave similarly to Red Sentinels, but will only target Rare, Unique, or Boss Baddies, not feeds alone. It can only deploy once each type of Sentinel per area, so players can choose which battles to spice up. Of course, they also need to buy enough POE Currency on POECurrency to increase their odds of winning the game. Go!
