When hostile entities, such as the [[Flood]], are detected in the immediate area, the sentinel launchers open their covers and dispense [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. When releasing an Aggressor, the launcher emits a noise that increases in pitch until the Aggressor appears. | When hostile entities, such as the [[Flood]], are detected in the immediate area, the sentinel launchers open their covers and dispense [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s.

A sentinel launcher is at its most vulnerable when its armored cover opens to release an Aggressor. It is the most susceptible to overcharged [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistol]] shots, [[Type-1 plasma grenade|plasma explosions]], and even [[Melee|physical attacks]]. Upon destruction, a sentinel launcher emits an [[electromagnetic pulse]] to its surroundings. | A sentinel launcher is at its most vulnerable when its armored cover opens to release an Aggressor.

In ''Halo 3'', sentinel launchers can be found in the campaign levels ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' and ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''. In addition to being allied with [[John-117]], they are also more durable and release Aggressors at a quicker rate than those in ''Halo 2''. In addition, the hatch closes immediately after the Aggressor is released to prevent weapon fire from getting into the launcher, although this can be bypassed by throwing a grenade before it closes. | In ''Halo 3'', sentinel launchers can be found in the campaign levels ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' and ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''.

In ''Halo Wars 2: Awakening The Nightmare'', Protector Sentinels and Aggressor Sentinels mainly appear from Sentinel Launchers. They can only be disabled temporarily by Voridus' EMP fields and when operating, they come in an endless wave. | In ''Halo Wars 2: Awakening The Nightmare'', Protector Sentinels and Aggressor Sentinels mainly appear from Sentinel Launchers.
