*During a game of [[Infection]], the Sentinel beam is an effective way to rid yourself of chasing Zombie forces, but take care as to where you aim, since the beam is easy to spot and is likely to give your position away if the shot goes astray. | *During a game of [[Infection]], the Sentinel beam is an effective way to rid yourself of chasing Zombie forces, but take care as to where you aim, since the beam is easy to spot and is likely to give your position away if the shot goes astray. | ||
*When loading up vehicles, a Sentinel beam in the passenger seat is an incredibly deadly tool. The most flexible location is in the back seat of a "[[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]]", although the passenger seat of a "[[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]]" or "[[ | *When loading up vehicles, a Sentinel beam in the passenger seat is an incredibly deadly tool.

The advantage of vehicle-bound Sentinel beams is that it can 'clothesline' foes (although this technique should not be depended on). | ||
*Steady shots can make the Sentinel beam a great anti-sniper weapon. Fire at the sniper and then sweep the area. You will eventually meet your target, and they will have a difficult time evading the beam. While this technique is unlikely to kill a competent sniper, it is a good way to prevent them from using their scope. | *Steady shots can make the Sentinel beam a great anti-sniper weapon.

*The Sentinel Beam is classified as an SMG-type weapon alongside the [[Posu'gelka-pattern needler|Needler]]. As an SMG-type weapon, the Sentinel Beam will not respawn on its weapon rack in multiplayer until the previously spawned weapon has despawned. | |||
*The Sentinel Beam is limited in its range, only effective at medium distances. | |||
*The Sentinel Beam is reliably effective at stripping down enemy shields. In Multiplayer, it is a powerful tool for supporting teammates in a battle. | |||
*As with other hardlight weapons in Halo Infinite, the Sentinel Beam can penetrate players and vehicles, making it useful for taking on multiple enemies in close quarters. | |||
*The Sentinel Beam's constant stream of damage is good for targeting vehicles, since the larger targets can be tracked much easier. | |||
*The Sentinel Beam's alternate variant, the [[Arcane Sentinel Beam]] is capable of completely disintegrating enemies in seconds, but trades this for a limited ammo capacity. | |||
*If an enemy is taking cover behind a vehicle, the Sentinel Beam can pierce through to deal damage regardless. If the vehicle is destroyed, the carcass can be disintegrated entirely. | |||
