'''Constructors''' are devices similar to Sentinels in design, that mainly repair damage to any [[Forerunner]] structure they can find, using weak energy beams similar to [[Sentinel Beam]]s. The beams are harmful if they come into contact with an organism, though this is unknown to the Constructor.

The beams are harmful if they come into contact with an organism. This is unknown in the case of the Constructor though.  


The [[Sentinels]] will come to their aid if they are attacked, as they are ill-suited for combat, having no weapon systems of their own; however, their beams will damage you if you get caught in the path (on Legendary difficulty their beams can kill in seconds). They also use their beams to lower the shields on [[Piston]]s, allowing them to move throughout the [[Sentinel Wall]] quickly. Constructors are encountered only during the levels [[The Library (Level)|The Library]], [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]] and [[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarantine Zone]] and are distantly visible on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer maps, [[Isolation]] and [[Construct]], but they can be seen on [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]] (where the light bridge must be activated) and [[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]].<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', level [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]]</ref>

Also, in ''[[Halo 3]]'', a small [[Easter egg]] can be witnessed, if a player watches one of the groups of constructors on the level [[Construct]]. They will fly normally for a while, but when they near a wall, they will hop like rabbits, before passing out of the map, and to a destination unknown, possibly re-spawning on the other side. You can destroy them, and the Sentinels on the level.

The Constructors first appeared in the beginning of [[The Library (Level)|The Library]] although only one or two can be seen floating around the corridors and into the air shafts. They also appeared in the opening moments of "Sacred Icon", where a swarm of them flies about trying to fix the platform you start on, then move away further into the [[Sentinel Wall]]. They don't really affect anything in game, they show red on your reticule and you may shoot them if you like, although they won't bother you. If you jump in front of one in the beginning of "Sacred Icon", you can get hurt, though very little, by their thin beams.
