The '''Aggressor Sentinel Eliminators'''{{Ref/File|Id=H2EK|H2EK|tags\objects\characters\sentinel_aggressor\ai\sentinel_aggressor_eliminator.character}} are a variant of the pervasive [[Forerunner]] [[Aggressor Sentinel]]; they are deployed for heavy combat situations.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc09|Enc09|Page=226}}{{Ref/Book|Id=enc11|Enc11|Page=236}}{{Ref/Note|Id=major|See [[#Production notes|this page's production notes section.]]}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
Visually, Aggressor Sentinel Eliminators are distinguished from standard Aggressors by their golden chassis.{{Ref/NoteReuse|major}} In addition to being equipped with [[energy shielding]],{{Ref/Reuse|enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|major}} they are also armed with superior versions of standard weapons, such as a more powerful [[sentinel beam]] or the [[Heatwave]].{{Ref/Game|H2|Eliminator in-game enemy}}{{Ref/Game|HI|Eliminator in-game enemy}}

===History===
During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], these Sentinels were deployed to contain the [[Flood]] outbreak on [[Installation 05|the ring]]. Although they were deployed to support [[Enforcer Sentinel]]s to contain the outbreak,{{Ref/Reuse|enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|major}} several of these Sentinels fought against [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee and his forces on the installation.{{Ref/Level|H2|H2:Sacred Icon|Sacred Icon}}{{Ref/Level|H2|H2:Quarantine Zone|Quarantine Zone}}

These sentinels were also present on [[Installation 07]],{{Ref/Map|HINF|Fragmentation}} where they took part in [[Battle for Zeta Halo|the conflict]] between the [[UNSC]] and the [[Banished]] under the direction of [[Monitor]] [[Adjutant Resolution]].{{Ref/Quest|HINF|Reformation (Halo Infinite)|The Command Spire}}

==Gameplay==
Sentinel Eliminators first appeared in-game in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and its ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary|Anniversary]]'' remake, appearing on the levels [[H2:Sacred Icon|Sacred Icon]] and [[H2:Quarantine Zone|Quarantine Zone]] as enemies for the player to fight against. Eliminators are given the more powerful [[Sentinel Eliminator beam]] and have a four second delay before their shields recharge and a one second recharge time, compared to the eight seconds delay and two second charge time of the [[Aggressor Sentinel Major|Major]]. In-game, the Eliminators are given the <code>captain</code> variant name to select their gold appearance{{Ref/Reuse|H2EK}}.

Eliminators appear in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' as the strongest common variant of Sentinels. They are tougher then their grey counterparts, being the only variant to sport [[energy shielding]], and wielding the [[Heatwave]] for offense. They also appear as prop assets on the multiplayer map [[Fragmentation]]; these Aggressors are destroyed and are merely a part of the map's background scenery, rather than an active part of the gameplay experience.

==Production notes==
Sentinel Eliminators primarily appear in the campaign of ''Halo 2''. Though they have never been named in any canonical capacity, the in-game files of ''Halo 2'' refer to them as Eliminators. A common fan-misconception revolves around the use of the name "Sentinel Major" to describe these Sentinels; the term was never used as a proper name in official material before its erroneous adoption by Halopedia, which was then carried over to the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'',{{Ref/Reuse|enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}} a sizable portion of which was derived from this wiki. In actuality, the [[Aggressor Sentinel Major|Major Sentinel]] is a different kind of enemy ''in addition to'' the Eliminators in ''Halo 2''.

A lore stream conducted by [[343 Industries]] writers [[Jeff Easterling]] and [[Kenneth Peters]] indicated that while the eliminators have been discussed internally, as of [[2018]] they had no particular designation for them and just considered them a different kind of Aggressor.{{Ref/YouTube|fYaxRoAf96s|HALO|Halo Lore Stream: The Halo Array|D=08|M=03|Y=2024|Time=3520|Detail=58:40}}
