The '''Autosentry''' {{ZClass|2500|Automated Protection Drone|APD}} is an automated [[Forerunner]] combat support drone.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}}
 
The '''Z-2500 Automated Protection Drone''', or '''Autosentry,''' is an automated Forerunner defense construct used by [[Promethean Knight]]s. It is also utilized by the UNSC's [[SPARTAN-IV]]s.


==Overview==
==Overview==
===Design details===
The Z-2500 is an automated drone that can distract and damage enemy combatants without direct control from the user. It currently outstrips similar devices used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] by virtue of its mobility and power.<ref>'''GameInformer''' ''October 2012 Edition''</ref>
The Z-2500 is a stationary automated drone that is materialized through [[hard light]] from a combat fabricator housed in a user's armor.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} The drone is composed of an anti-gravity drive located at the lower back, which provides pivoting hover movement in a stationary position, a firing lens located at the very front, and a pair of targeting arrays located at the lower front.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} It can provide combat support and protection in combat; when it detects a target, it emits a noise and a red light, then fires a bolt of light mass.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}{{Ref/Game|Id=h4|H4|gameplay}} While its firepower is negligible, it serves as a secondary source of targeting to slowly grate away an enemy's shielding while exposing them to direct fire from another weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} It currently outstrips similar devices used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] by virtue of its mobility and power.{{Ref/Mag|Magazine=GameInformer|Year=2012|Month=10|Issue=234|Title=Promethean Interactive Gallery}} It is commonly utilized by [[Promethean Knight]]s, but can be integrated to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR [GEN2] armor]], allowing [[Spartan]]s to provide suppressive fire and open new tactical opportunities.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}}


In [[War Games]] simulations, the targeting arrays and firing lens take the color of the team the controller is on. In the field, however, they are light blue.  The Z-2500 APD can be fooled by a [[Type-27 hologram|hologram]], and will fire on the hologram. The Z-2500 APD can also be avoided by a completely stationary target using [[active camouflage]]. A camouflaged target will be detected and targeted if they are moving however, and activating camouflage when already targeted will not cause the autosentry to lose its lock.{{Ref/Reuse|h4}}
