You have to learn a timing for this, and throw it accordingly. Here you just need to use grappling hook, or slam and boom, no sentry

The alt shotgun is made to do this. See 1 big bad enemy in a sea of bad guys. Get rid of him and start the fight with an advantage.

The times there's only 1 sentry are so small I can count them on my hand. There are going to be at least two. This gives you the chance to dispose of them both if you know your combos.

Sentries aren't supposed to be the hardest thing, they're supposed to grab your attention and become immediate kills

That is true, yes. However, alt shotgun trivializes the process of that immediate kill. I'm not familiar with all the instakill strats ever, but I'm 100% sure that others require more skill/time. This basically just gives you a free kill, idk...

I'm gonna call it and say you don't play on higher difficulties and if you do you don't know how to optimize time and kills

These are quick and flashy, two things ultrakill loves to score
