The [[Sentinels]] wield orange-colored directed energy beams, used primarily for fighting the Flood. [[Sentinel Majors]] however, have a more powerful and accurate version of the beam, which sports superior energy output, at the cost of overheating issues. These more advanced energy beams are colored blue. All variants of these [[Sentinel Beams]] can be wielded by Humans and certain Covenant races. | The [[Sentinels]] wield orange-colored directed energy beams, used primarily for fighting the Flood.

Meanwhile, [[Enforcers]] are equipped with multiple packs of small grenades, or mortar-like explosives launched over the top of their shield. The Enforcer also boasts a pair of [[Pulse Beam|Pulse Beams]], which fire clusters of smaller red projectiles or bolts of energy at an incredibly high rate of fire. These pulse beams are primarily used against infantry at close range. These mammoth constructs also seem capable of lifting even tanks, using some sort of magnetic or anti-gravity grapple, before crushing the target between their massive 'arms'. The [[Constructors|Constructors']] repair beam can also be considered a weapon, but with minimal damage output. | Meanwhile, [[Enforcers]] are equipped with multiple packs of small grenades, or mortar-like explosives launched over the top of their shield.

The [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels of Onyx]] had significantly more powerful weaponry. They were described to be a sphere surrounded by three floating "booms", or small pieces of armor that possessed powerful energy shields which would suddenly "pop" into place in order to deflect objects moving at high velocities.<ref name="GoO">''[[Halo: Ghost of Onyx]]''</ref> Their shields are not activated by slow-moving objects, however - [[Team Saber]] used this to their advantage to destroy one of the Sentinels with rocks. Their energy weapons are described as a single, slow-charging, golden beam that could melt straight through the SPI armor of the Spartan-IIIs. SPARTAN-058 had also noted that one blast from these weapons was enough to drain the shields of her MJOLNIR Mk V armor. The Onyx Sentinels also have the ability to combine for different purposes, such as exponentially increasing their combat capabilities, or for large-scale excavation. One formation of these combined Sentinels was able to easily destroy two Covenant destroyers. However, it should be noted that the second Covenant Destroyer was caught off guard after a slipstream space jump, and the first one had had its energy shields down. | The [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels of Onyx]] had significantly more powerful weaponry.
