It is far superior to the regular [[Sentinel]]s that guard the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]] and [[Installation 00|The Ark]] and even the [[Sentinel Majors]] of [[Installation 05]] due to its shielding and extreme firepower. Onyx Sentinels fire golden, lethal spears of light from a central eye, which is thought to be similar in strength to the beam weapon fired by [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] at several points of ''[[Halo 3]]'' when the player is on the Ark, not just fighting him at the end. This attack causes devastating damage: the destruction of a granite plateau, vaporization of a combat bunker, and the instantaneous destruction of any ground vehicle or infantry, even including a [[SPARTAN-III]].

Although ground troops with only small-arms are virtually helpless when they form larger groups, once these formations are separated they become easy targets for units with heavier firepower; for example, [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]]'s fleet dispatched to Onyx destroyed many Sentinels after they were forced out of formation. | ||
