Make sure you have the latest version of Bingus Shared Loader before downloading this mod.

Aims to keep autonomous sentries facing their last tracked target after losing it, instead of turning back toward the Helldiver while their burst may still be firing.
  • Hold through target loss. Retains the last sampled aim and pauses rotation as soon as the previous target disappears, without waiting for the firing state to finish.
  • Resume tracking and scanning. Releases the hold when a replacement target appears or a scanning transition is detected.
  • Pause broad firing sweeps. Gatling and machine-gun sentries can keep firing through small adjustments and nearby target changes, but pause shots during broad or prolonged turns and resume near the target. Their trigger and spin-up timer stay intact during the pause.
Aim retention applies to locally controlled Gatling, machine gun, laser cannon, rocket, flamethrower, mortar and EMS mortar sentries. Selective firing pauses apply to Gatling and machine-gun sentries.

This mod is client-side only and does not affect how other players' turrets function.

I did a clip before installing the mod and the fucking sentry made a few jumpscares.
Donwloaded this and they are finally locked in. good mod as always

someone asks me if the gatling sentry or any sentry still dumps rounds into the ground when turning voteless into crawlers or I guess also the impaler tentacles go back in the ground.

It's possible. What this mod fixes is a separate bug related to target acquisition for turrets. The pause is determined based on the angle at which the turret would need to spin to reach its next target.

I think the issue here is that the game doesn't properly update the acquired target once posture changes (e.g. voteless turning into crawlers), which causes that bug in the first place. So it's a separate bug from what this mod fixes.

That's actually fixable as well, and I can look into making a quick hotfix for that functionality hopefully sometime today, if not then tomorrow.

If you mean in general, I plan to take a look at better vehicle physics next.

For this specific mod, outside of the ground-firing fix mentioned above, the mod is "complete" and I don't have any other changes planned at this time.

Hi everyone, a new hotfix has been pushed which should address the issue with posture-changed target acquisition, as well as turrets pausing too frequently between shots.

Feel free to give the hotfix a try, and let me know if you run into any issues, and I'll try to get them resolved as soon as I'm able to.

Unlike the other guy, I hope Arrowhead DOESN'T hire you, otherwise we'd see you take as long as them to actually make these fixes.

I am baffled. Do you mean it was intentional for the sentry to turn DIRERCTLY AT the player??
