Plasma Sentinel

The Plasma Sentinel is a Trap that attacks any player within a _ tile radius (as its range is a circle). It fires slow traveling red orbs which make an electric zapping noise as it moves. This projectile destroys after colliding with solid surfaces or if hit by swing from the Fury's Edge or shot by a ranged weapon. The Plasma Sentinel takes up a full block.

== Codex ==
The Plasma Sentinel is one of the most advanced traps that Sanctuaries possess. Two parallel electrodes embedded within the trap's rotating core accelerate a projectile of hot, ionized gas-like particles that explode on impact.
The trap was developed by Sanctuaries on secret orders from the Salvation Council to defend politicians and influential citizens targeted by global riots. When this information leaked, it fueled already heated concerns that Sanctuaries were used by the ruling class for their own protection rather than the benefit of the global population. Riots intensified on the news, justifying the need for Plasma Sentinels to be installed.
== Trivia ==
* Plasma Sentinels are mostly known for their use in "Kill-boxes" paired with the Plasma Cloud mod.
* As of the May 18th, 2023 hotfix, the delay on self detonation should be 2 seconds, but is currently 2.5 seconds.
