ARC Raiders Blindsided requires destroying a Sentinel with the Raider Tool. The published route gets close to the named turret and uses the tool for the finishing destruction.
Plan the approach
Identify a Sentinel rather than an ordinary turret. Published locations include The Breach on Dam Battlegrounds and an elevated container-storage approach on Spaceport. These are search leads, not guaranteed spawns on every condition.
Hizzle recommends watching its direction from cover, approaching when the route is clear and making sure the tool is selected before the final attack. One separate method permits weakening it with a gun first. Do not let another weapon deliver the destruction if you are pursuing the tool requirement.
An older guide describes being safe beside the barrel. We have not established current invulnerability there; treat a close position as a tactical choice, not protection from every attack or nearby enemy.
If it fails
Reported bugged, historical: January firsthand discussion reports an earlier failure and a later successful attempt. That does not establish a current universal failure or a guaranteed retry.
UNSURE: exact tool hits, current platform tracking, squad credit and present failure workarounds. Online play is required; no fixed completion time or difficulty score. No Hizzle in-game testing.
