Overview

Design details

Main article: Sentinel beam

The Arcane Sentinel Beam differs from the standard models fielded by Aggressor Sentinels in a handful of factors. In addition to having a white chassis, its beam is more powerful than that of the standard model and has a faster cooldown, though has less ammunition capacity.[2]

Usage

One such weapon was used by Kaidon Thav 'Sebarim, a Sangheili commanding officer in the Banished during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560.[4] During the campaign, he used the weapon in a combat encounter with John-117, though was defeated by the Spartan.[5]

In-game information

Halo Infinite

In campaign, the Arcane Sentinel Beam is awarded to the player after defeating the High Value Target, Thav 'Sebarim. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base within the campaign, and fires a much more powerful beam, with a faster cooldown than the standard sentinel beam, though at the cost of lower ammunition capacity (from 250 to 80).[2]
