'''Sentinel launchers''' are small armor-covered devices built into the walls of [[Forerunner]] facilities. [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s are sometimes deployed via these devices when reacting to a [[Flood]] outbreak or other situation. They can be found in numerous locations, such as the [[sentinel wall]], the [[Control Room (Installation 04)#Installation 08|control room]], [[Installation 00]]'s [[cartographer]], and the [[Absolute Record]].<ref name="icon">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref><ref name="ark">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Ark]]''</ref><ref name="04B">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 23|Issue #23]]''</ref> | '''Sentinel launchers''' are small armor-covered devices built into the walls of [[Forerunner]] facilities.

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.{{Ref/Reuse|icon}}{{Ref/Reuse|ark}}{{Ref/Reuse|04B}} | When hostile entities, such as the [[Flood]], are detected in the immediate area, the sentinel launchers open their covers and dispense [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s.
