Destiny 2: all Titan Sentinel subclass skills and abilities

By Brenna Hillier

The Destiny 2 beta finally gives us a good look at the Titan’s Void subclass, the Sentinel.

Destiny 2 bids farewell to the old Defender subclass and replaces it with the Sentinel, the Titan’s answer to Captain America. So you enjoyed throwing hammers around? You’re gonna love this shield.

The Sentinel’s super, Sentinel Shield, is a versatile roaming ability. While it is active you can run around striking your enemies with melee blows, guarding against incoming damage from the front, and even throwing the shield. On base spec you can only throw the shield once, but it does ricochet meaning you can hit multiple targets at once.

Grenade-wise the Titan Sentinel can choose between a Voidwall which produces ongoing AoE damage, a sticky Magnetic grenade which blows up twice, or the Suppressor, which is a PvP favourite since it has the ability to shut down Supers.

The two Titan Sentinel passive skill trees are clearly divided between attack and defence. Code of the Protector is all about creating shields and restoring health, for you and your allies. That’s one for tanks and paladin types.

If you’re more into blowing stuff up, Code of the Aggressor has abilities that allow you to do more damage more often with super and grenade, especially if you get in among the baddies.

You can learn more about all of this through Arekkz‘s video below, or scroll down past it to see the full Titan Sentinel skill tree in text form.

This page is part of our Destiny 2 class and subclass guide, so go have a look at your other options if you fancy it.
