Autosentry

Autosentries are mission-exclusive enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X under the Mechanoid classification. These enemies have humanoid bodies, with one free left arm and a rifle mounted on the right arm.

Description
Humans and Orpheans joined forces to develop these security robots, which were intended to guard water-processing plants.

The exterior designs were tailored to match what Orpheans perceived as human sensibilities, while the inner workings represent the pinnacle of Orphean technological might.

Lore
Tan'celeg the Orphean worked on these Autosentries during the mission Good Neighbors in order to prevent a tragedy like the one presented in Lakeside Getaway from happening again. After that mission, autosentries will be seen around the Biahno Water-Purification Plant, although they are not hostile and cannot be fought.

However, during the mission Haywire!, the autosentries went berserk and attacked others because one of the Orpheans, Lan'cord, sided with the Ganglion and hacked them.

Veven from the Ma-non helped build a higher-specification autosentry, the Mk. II, in order to better protect the plant. This version is tested and fought during the mission The Gauntlet after having defeated several Wrothians.

In combat
Autosentries can use powerful thermal and flash grenades from the left arm, and they can also fire assault rifle shots from the right arm, as well as kick enemies.

These enemies, however, don't have any resistances to debuffs other than Control, meaning that it's often worth it to weaken them in every way. Additionally, their head and arm appendages all have a hardness of -1, making them weak to damage.

Variations
Autosentries come in two variations.
 * The initial model is fought during Good Neighbors in the Industrial District, and later during the mission Haywire!
 * Mk. II is fought during The Gauntlet.
