When not in combat Aggressors serve as basic repair, maintenance and security drones for Forerunner installations and facilities where Flood samples are kept, working in conjunction with [[Constructors]] and [[Enforcers]] to ensure that the facility remains in working order. | When not in combat Aggressors serve as basic repair, maintenance and security drones for Forerunner installations and facilities where Flood samples are kept, working in conjunction with [[Constructors]] and [[Enforcers]] to ensure that the facility remains in working order. | ||

Aggressors are the first of Forerunner automated defense systems to assist a situation and generate a proper response protocol. While Aggressors are strong enough to handle small-scale battles, they are more of a supplement rather then a reliable combat system. The Aggressors' weapons systems are limited and not as powerful as some of the other Forerunner weapons employed against the Flood, and can only hold them at bay for a limited amount of time. | Aggressors are the first of Forerunner automated defense systems to assist a situation and generate a proper response protocol.

Because of their limited AI, they are only able to handle situations on a basic scale, which makes them vulnerable to strategic Flood attacks. Because of their limited intelligence they are not often able to perform evasive maneuvers when facing imminent attack and are usually destroyed. In overwhelming numbers, Aggressors are more than capable of handling a situation for a certain time until more permanent measures can be applied. | Because of their limited AI, they are only able to handle situations on a basic scale, which makes them vulnerable to strategic Flood attacks.

The Aggressor's energy shield is their primary defense mechanism. Once taken down, it is susceptible to any type of small-arms fire. When an Aggressor has been damaged beyond repair, it explodes violently and releases a powerful [[EMP]] blast | The Aggressor's energy shield is their primary defense mechanism. Once taken down, it is susceptible to any type of small-arms fire. When an Aggressor has been damaged beyond repair, it explodes violently and releases a powerful [[EMP]] blast, a strategic last resort that disables all nearby electronics. | ||

*Aggressor Sentinels share both similar design and functions to that of the P'fhor Defense Drones from the [[Marathon|''Marathon'' series]]. In addition, they share the same weaknesses against shotgun and plasma/fusion pistol fire. | *Aggressor Sentinels share both similar design and functions to that of the P'fhor Defense Drones from the [[Marathon|''Marathon'' series]].

*Sentinel Aggressors appear in ''Halo 4'' on the levels [[Requiem (level)|Requiem]], [[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]], [[Midnight]] and [[Spartan Ops]] [[S1/Key|Chapter 9]] and do not attack the player, and even if they are attacked, they will only vanish through portals. On Reclaimer, if not attacked, they will ignore the player but will fly towards the back of a symmetrical hall, like they were attempting to lead the player towards something. <ref> '''Halo 4 Prima Official Game Guide''' | *Sentinel Aggressors appear in ''Halo 4'' on the levels [[Requiem (level)|Requiem]], [[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]], [[Midnight]] and [[Spartan Ops]] [[S1/Key|Chapter 9]] and do not attack the player, and even if they are attacked, they will only vanish through portals.
