Defender · flex, support, anchor
No operator hard-counters Sentry; it's countered by good play more than by a single pick.
Sentry's gadget: Gadget Kit (two secondary gadgets)
Defense Recruit with no unique gadget: he takes any two general defender gadgets (Barbed Wire, Bulletproof Camera, Deployable Shield, Impact Grenades, Nitro Cell, Proximity Alarms, Observation Blockers) and flexes into whatever the setup lacks.

What does Sentry counter?
