Arcane Sentinel Beam

The Arcane Sentinel Beam is a variant of the sterilization beams used by the Sentinels.

Design details
The Arcane Sentinel Beam differs from the standard models fielded by Aggressor Sentinels in a handful of factors. In addition to having a white chassis, its beam is more powerful than that of the standard model and has a faster cooldown, though has less ammunition capacity.

Usage
One such weapon was used by Kaidon Thav 'Sebarim, a Sangheili commanding officer in the Banished during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560. During the campaign, he used the weapon in a combat encounter with John-117, though was defeated by the Spartan.

In-game information
"Continuous fire, directed hardlight energy weapon useful for stripping shields."

- Description from the Academy's Weapon Drills menu.

In campaign, the Arcane Sentinel Beam is a special weapon awarded to the player after defeating the High Value Target, Thav 'Sebarim. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base within the campaign, and fires a much more powerful beam (killing a fully-shielded Spartan with 20 units instead of 60 units), with a faster cooldown than the standard sentinel beam, though at the cost of lower ammunition capacity (reduced from 250 to 80).
