The '''Sentinel Factory''' or '''Sentinel Shop''' is a unique [[Forerunner]] unit building structure in ''[[Halo Wars]]''.
The '''Sentinel shop''', also known as a '''Sentinel factory''', is an underground variant of the [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]], capable of constructing [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s and [[Super Sentinel]]s. Two such facilities were on [[Harvest]], and another was within the [[shield world]] [[Etran Harborage]].<ref>'''Halo Wars'''</ref>


The structure is a type of [[Sentinel Constructor Factory]], and it is able to construct additional combat support in the form of [[Sentinels]] once captured by a player, which can then be added to their forces. The structure can also be captured again by an enemy player, so must be defended. While this building does not need to be garrisoned, a player's units must be nearby to use it. There's usually a good amount of fighting over these online, so if you're holding it, it's best to have it guarded by a few infantry squads. The Sentinel Factory is only found on the multiplayer maps [[Repository]] and [[Glacial Ravine]]. The Sentinel Factory produces Sentinels for 100 resources, and [[Super Sentinels]] for 250 resources. The sentinels are produced instantly and they must recharge before being able to produce a new unit, much like the Support Abilities of the [[UNSC]].

A Sentinel shop on Harvest.

The Sentinel shop, also known as a Sentinel factory, is an underground variant of the Forerunner Sentinel manufacturing facility, capable of constructing Aggressor Sentinels and Super Sentinels. Two such facilities were on Harvest, and another was within the shield world Etran Harborage.[1]

Gameplay

  • Sentinel: A flying Forerunner unit, the Sentinel will inflict corrosive damage with a dangerous beam weapon.
    • Cost: Population 1, Tech level 1, Supplies 100
    • Purchase cooldown: 15 seconds
  • Super Sentinel: The Forerunner Super Sentinel has the unique ability to slow down enemy units while preemping their attacks.
    • Cost: Population 2, Tech level 2, Supplies 250
    • Purchase cooldown: 30 seconds

The Sentinel shop appears exclusively in the Halo Wars Skirmish levels Repository and Glacial Ravine. Unlike other bonus buildings, the building cannot be garrisoned. Any player with a unit nearby may access its menu and purchase Sentinel units, which can then be added to their forces. The Sentinels are produced instantly and construction recharge before being able to produce a new unit, much like the UNSC leaders' Support Abilities.

The visually similar Protector plant is a smaller Sentinel shop that produces Protector Sentinels instead of Aggressor Sentinels and Super Sentinels.
