In the event that all other weapons are disabled, Enforcers will use a last-resort, powerful energy beam. This beam is similar to a Sentinel beam, but with increased range and capable of causing greater damage.

Enforcers are also capable of using their two mechanical arms as anti-vehicle weapons. When a vehicle moves underneath an Enforcer, it will temporarily cease attacking, descend directly above the vehicle and unfold its claws, revealing a gravity lift powerful enough to lift a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]]. It then lifts the vehicle up to its claws and crushes it.

The Enforcer's energy shields can absorb more damage than a normal [[Sentinel]] shield. The shields, which only guard the front area of the machine, are immune to ballistic [[weapons]], such as the [[BR55 battle rifle|battle rifle]], [[M90 shotgun|shotgun]], and [[M7 SMG|SMG]]. However, they are weak against plasma weapons, and have many similarities to a [[Kig-Yar]]'s shields as they are blue in color and turn red when nearly depleted. Like a [[Sangheili]] or [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]], its shield can be taken out with one charged [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]] shot.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacred Icon}}{{Ref/Reuse|Quarantine Zone}}

The Enforcer is very strong, capable of withstanding even two [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpion]] shells or two to three [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] shots. If the Enforcer is lifting a vehicle off the ground, all occupants should exit the vehicle immediately to avoid being crushed.

One disadvantage of the Enforcer is that they cannot detect enemies in cover, which can be used to a player's advantage. If a player moves stealthily enough from one area to another, the Enforcer will continue to fire into the last known area the enemy was located in. After they have lost track of their target, they will quickly lose interest and turn their back on the enemy, giving the player an opportunity to attack from behind. Once the Enforcer has taken enough damage, its shields will drop and it will explode. After exploding, large pieces of the former Enforcer will come crashing to the ground. These pieces can injure or even kill the player if they land on them, making it best to stay away from the Enforcer when it is destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacred Icon}}{{Ref/Reuse|Quarantine Zone}}
