The Eliminator Beam is a weapon that was first made usable in Halo 2. It is a variant of the standard Sentinel Beam found exclusively in the game's campaign levels.

Alongside being one of the few weapons in Halo 2 to not be useable in multiplayer, it is the only usable weapon in Halo 2 that was not utilised in the multiplayer component of Halo 2: Anniversary.

Universe and lore

Main article: Sentinel beam

Sentinel Beams are sterilization weapons used by the eponymous Sentinels for Flood containment. In Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary, the Eliminator Beam is fired by the gold Aggressor Sentinel Eliminators, opposed to the Sentinel Beam fired by Sentinels that fires an orange beam.

In both Halo 2 and Anniversary the weapon reuses the model and texture of the standard Sentinel Beam, with the only differentiator being the gold tint and firing effects.
