They serve as part of a Halo Installation's defense against mass [[Flood]] outbreaks and have been seen guarding key locations such as the entrances to the [[Sentinel Wall]] and the [[Library]] on [[Installation 05]]. Enforcers are produced by hovering [[Sentinel constructor factory|Sentinel production facilities]].<ref name="Sacred Icon"/><ref name="Quarantine Zone"/> | ||
Enforcers have three [[Energy shielding|energy shields]]; the larger two are split in half (for their guns to fire through), and the small upper shield protects the 'eye' of the Enforcer. | Enforcers have three [[Energy shielding|energy shields]]; the larger two are split in half (for their guns to fire through), and the small upper shield protects the 'eye' of the Enforcer. However, the shields only protect the front of the machine. Enforcers are armed with [[pulse beam]]s and [[Forerunner missile launcher|missiles]]. They are also equipped with large claw-like arms which are able to pick up and rip apart most [[vehicles]]. | ||

An Enforcer's primary anti-personnel weapons are two pulse cannons, which fire red bolts of semi-solid energy that puncture armor and shred through flesh. | ||
To take out packs of enemies or armored vehicles, Enforcers are equipped with a launcher that fires explosive mortars. These missiles land on or near vehicles at a distance and cause devastating damage. | To take out packs of enemies or armored vehicles, Enforcers are equipped with a launcher that fires explosive mortars.

When a vehicle moves underneath an Enforcer, it will temporarily cease attacking, descend directly above the vehicle and unfold its claws, revealing a gravity lift powerful enough to lift a [[Wraith]]. It then lifts the vehicle up to its claws and crushes it. | ||

Enforcers have only observed on Installation 05 fighting the local Flood infestation on the levels [[Sacred Icon]] and [[Quarantine Zone (level)|Quarantine Zone]]. They were not seen in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' or ''[[Halo 3]]'', most likely because the situations involving the Flood on [[Installation 04]] were not as serious as that on Installation 05 and [[Installation 00]] was not expected to encounter an outbreak to begin with.<ref name="Sacred Icon"/><ref name="Quarantine Zone"/> | |||
