How to Get Every Sentinel (2026): Where Each Blueprint Comes From and Which to Pick

All ten Sentinels: blueprint source, precept, best use, Prime or not

Last Updated on September 30, 2026

The short answer

There are ten Sentinels. Taxon is free from a Junction, Carrier, Dethcube, Diriga, Shade and Wyrm are Market blueprints, Helios and Djinn come from clan research, and Oxylus and Nautilus come from Fortuna and Neptune Proxima. For a first pick, Carrier loots and Wyrm blocks status effects. Six have Prime versions.

Getting one

  1. Free start: finish the Earth to Venus Junction for Taxon.
  2. Market: buy the blueprint for Carrier, Dethcube, Diriga, Shade or Wyrm with Credits, then build it in the Foundry.
  3. Clan: research Helios in the Energy Lab or Djinn in the Bio Lab, then buy the blueprint from the Dojo.
  4. Fortuna: reach Old Mate with Solaris United and buy Oxylus from The Business.
  5. Neptune Proxima: farm Nautilus parts in Railjack missions. See the Nautilus page.
  6. Prime versions of Carrier, Dethcube, Helios, Nautilus, Shade and Wyrm are obtained through Void Relics.

Tips that save runs

  • Every Sentinel needs two open companion slots: one for it and one for its weapon.
  • Companions use their mods in the order you placed them, so put the important precept first.

Mistakes that waste runs

  • Buying a Sentinel for its stats and ignoring the precept. The precept is why you slot it.
  • Looking for a Prime of Taxon, Diriga, Djinn or Oxylus. None exist.
