Captain America your way to safety

Ryan Gilliam (he/him) has worked at Polygon for over eight years. He primarily spends his time writing guides for massively popular games like Diablo 4 & Destiny 2.

In the Destiny 2 gameplay reveal event, the developers at Bungie showed off new and reworked subclasses. While attendees were able to explore the new Striker Titan subclass in-depth, the Sentinel Titan was merely teased for viewers. However, in the Destiny 2 beta, players were given the opportunity to wield a shield of light for themselves.

The subclasses in Destiny 2 have been reworked. These are all of the abilities accessible by the Sentinel Titan. All of these descriptions are taken directly from the Destiny 2 beta.

SUPER

  • Sentinel shield. Press L1+R1/LB+RB to summon a shield of Void Light. While Sentinel Shield is active, press the right shoulder to attack. Hold the left trigger to guard. Press the left shoulder to perform a Shield Throw.

GRENADES

  • Magnetic grenade. A grenade that attaches to enemies and explodes twice.
  • Voidwall grenade. A grenade that creates a horizontal wall of burning Void Light.
