Interactions with Gunfighter Sprays

[Episkopos]

How do Gunfighter Sprays interact with things that are Automatically Boosted such as Charge, Free Strike, and Dark Sentinel.

The Charge isn't boosted because Gunfighter says so right in the rules. Free Strike damage rolls are boosted as normal against the model that generated the freestrike and I see no reason why a Dark Sentinel attack and damage roll would not be boosted against the model that triggered Dark Sentinel. Other models under the spray template would not suffer the boosts however, as they are not "the enemy model" that triggered Dark Sentinel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Free Strike say the model will automatically use its highest POW melee weapon. Gunfighter makes it elligible if its the only attack on the model, but I think most models with sprays tend to have a higher POW melee weapon. Assuming there are some that will use a spray for a free strike, it would center on the model who is leaving at the point that they leave your melee distance, and would only get the +2 and boost on the model who left. Still, with talk of Dark Sentinel, I have to assume you're talking about Typhon, and again, unless I'm mistaken, I think he has to choose his POW 17 bite for free strikes.

As Jandrese said above, Dark Sentinel gives the boost in it's text, but just against the model that triggered it.

You are wrong. You can use any weapon of your choice (that had melee range, of course) when resolving a free strike. You might be thinking of Frenzies.

Post 2 is correct.

Edited for quotage:

The model makes one normal melee attack with any melee weapon that has sufficient melee range to reach the moving model and gains a +2 bonus to its melee attack roll.
