Sentinel Beams

Summary
Sentinel beams are weapons that are fixed to sentinels. Sentinels were created by the ancient race of the Forerunners. They are another example of the effective technology left behind by the forerunners, and, judging by effectiveness, were created to combat the Flood. They are capable of seperating the limbs from an infected host, making the flood form useless in combat.

Description
Sentinel beams fire orange or blue beams. Orange beams are used by sentinels, and blue beams are used by Sentinel majors. The blue beams are more powerful than orange beams.

Encounters
Sentinel beams are first encountered in Halo: Combat Evolved. They are unuseable in Halo 1. The sentinel beams are first used against the player on the campaign level The library.

In Halo 2, sentinel beams are useable by the player, and become available once the player destroys a sentinel. They are also available on multiplayer. They first appear on the Halo 2 level Arbiter.
