'''Enforcer Sentinels'''{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Level|H2|Sacred Icon|Quote=It is useless to attack the Enforcer at the front, especially when its shields are up|Quotee=Tartarus}} are variant of large combat [[Sentinel]] designed by the [[Forerunner]]s. They are primarily tasked with key defensive missions and may coordinate local Sentinel activity around security breaches and within [[Flood]] containment areas, isolating, containing, or otherwise eliminating any hostile presence.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Design details===

Enforcers are a specialized [[Sentinel]] variant equipped with energy shields and an array of powerful weapons. They serve as part of a Halo installation's defense against mass [[Flood]] outbreaks and have been seen guarding key locations such as the entrances to the [[Sentinel wall]] and the [[Library]] on [[Installation 05]]. While deployed, they may serve as local command-and-control for lesser Sentinel forces in the field.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Due to their primarily defensive focus, Enforcers only have limited utility in noncombat functions.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Enforcers can be manufactured on-site by a hovering [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]].{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=236}}

Enforcers have three [[Energy shielding|energy shield]]s; the larger two are split in half (for their shard cannons to fire through), and the small upper shield protects the 'eye' of the Enforcer. However, the shields only protect the front of the machine. Enforcers are armed with [[shard cannon]]s and [[Enforcer missile launcher|missiles]]. They are also equipped with large claw-like arms which are able to pick up and rip apart most [[vehicles]].

===Armaments===

The Enforcers have far more devastating weaponry than the lesser Aggressors, being equipped to neutralize large groups of Flood and any vehicles or other matériel that may have fallen under their control. An Enforcer's primary anti-personnel weapons are two shard cannons, which fire red bolts of semi-solid energy that puncture armor and shred through flesh.

Enforcers are also capable of using their two mechanical arms as anti-vehicle weapons. When a vehicle moves underneath an Enforcer, it will temporarily cease attacking, descend directly above the vehicle and unfold its claws, revealing a gravity lift powerful enough to lift a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]]. It then lifts the vehicle up to its claws and crushes it.

Enforcers have been only known to be observed on [[Installation 05]] [[Battle of the Quarantine Zone|fighting]] the local Flood infestation.{{Ref/Level|Id=Sacred Icon|H2|Sacred Icon}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Quarantine Zone|H2|Quarantine Zone}}

==In-game information==

===''Halo 2''===

The Enforcer is very strong, capable of withstanding even two [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpion]] shells or two to three [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] shots. If the Enforcer is lifting a vehicle off the ground, all occupants should exit the vehicle immediately to avoid being crushed.  

The Enforcer's shard cannons, which appear similar to the [[Type-33 needler|Needlers]]' projectiles, are usually not a threat to players as they are very easy to dodge. It uses these red projectiles to fight infantry at close- to medium-range. Its mortar projectiles, on the other hand, are extremely dangerous and can quickly pin down or kill infantry. It will use its missiles against any vehicle it encounters, from a [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]] to a [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]], and will occasionally use it against infantry, should they appear in large groups. The Enforcer uses its mortar projectiles as medium- to long-range weapons. Enforcers also use both their shard cannons and missiles against the player when on foot. They tend to fire their weapons in an order, going from their shard cannons, then to their missiles, then back to the shard cannons. It will continue this until the player is killed or when the Enforcer is destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacred Icon}}{{Ref/Reuse|Quarantine Zone}}

If the player can shoot off its shard cannon arms, and the small pair of missile launchers on the top of its back, it will start to fire an invisible [[Sentinel beam]]. Although invisible, the beam causes visible damage to walls. The sparks emitted from the weapon show that the beam is blue, similar to the beam an [[Aggressor Sentinel]] uses. Thereby, you can wield it (it is somewhat hard to do this, so it is not advisable, but, you can try it, making sure not to kill the Enforcer in the process.

===Tactics===

For close combat, simply leap below it so that it can't position/fire on you. From there, you should shoot off the "legs" on each corner, making it easier to destroy. Finally, simply bombard it with [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades]]; it should die after two or three on [[Heroic]].

For vehicular combat, players should utilize the [[M808 Scorpion|Scorpion]] you can easily blast the shielding in front of it off (one shot per half). Then, you can destroy it with one more blast. For Wraiths, repeat, but take gravity into consideration. [[Wuzum-pattern Spectre|Spectres]] just require patience and non-stop shooting to work. In the event you don't have a vehicle, do not stay still. You will be gunned down if you do. Do not drive directly under it to avoid being crushed.
