===Second Ark Outbreak===

Atriox issue order to [[Pavium]] and [[Voridus]] to salvage material around High Charity crash site and warns them not to go beyond the [[containment shield]]. Two Retriever Sentinels are dispatched to stop the Banished from reaching the crash site but Voridus manage to shut down Sentinel Defense Network, rendering every Sentinel operation include Retriever Sentinel inoperable. The Flood soon comes out from High Charity like a tidal wave and spread uncontrollaby due to the Sentinels are disabled by defense network. Once Voridus reactivate the defense network and Pavium clears the launch site clogged by biomass, Retriever Sentinel arrives to assist the Banished and luring [[Proto-Gravemind]] out from its nest, effectively destroying it.

In the campaign's eleventh mission, "[[The Halo]]", Anders is able to take control of a Retriever Sentinel that initially attacks both the UNSC and the Banished. In the campaign, the Retriever is indestructible after the player manages to damage it to 25% of its HP, forcing it to retreat and repairs.

During Operation: SPEARBREAKER, the Retriever Sentinel is equipped with energy shielding, and can call in Sentinel Swarms to repair itself. During the salvage operation led by Pavium and Voridus, two Retriever Sentinel are dispatched to stop Voridus' Scarab and are destroyed once Voridus shuts down the Sentinel defense network at [[High Charity]]'s crash site. In an attempt to destroy a [[Proto-Gravemind]], Pavium reactivates the Sentinel defense network, which summons a Retriever Sentinel.
