Constructors are drones programmed to repair any damaged [[Forerunner]] structure they can find, using low-tuned energy beams similar to [[Sentinel beam]]s. These beams are fired from either the top half, the middle or the bottom half of the Constructor.<ref group="note">In ''Halo 2'', Constructors of Installation 05 fire their beam from their upper body, in ''Halo 3'', the Constructors of Installation 00 fire their beam from their lower body, and in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the Constructors fire their beam from the middle of their body.</ref> The beams can also be used to open [[Cryptum]]s<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''[[Guardians (level)|Guardians]]''</ref> or lower the shields on [[piston]]s, allowing them to access the tunnel networks built within the [[Sentinel Wall]].<ref name="sacred icon"/><ref name="isolation">'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer level ''[[Isolation]]''</ref> Although weak, they can harm an organism if they come in contact with it. | Constructors are drones programmed to repair any damaged [[Forerunner]] structure they can find, using low-tuned energy beams similar to [[Sentinel beam]]s.

Constructors can also play the role of a security grid. When a Constructor is attacked, a signal is automatically sent to [[Sentinel launcher]]s to begin deploying Aggressors. For this reason, they can form an excellent security perimeter. With no weapons systems, the Constructors rely on Aggressors when threatened. | Constructors can also play the role of a security grid.

A way to attract a Constructor is to damage something in the Forerunner facility they are in.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level ''[[Enemy Lines]]''</ref> Constructors can be programmed for other tasks such as awakening a [[Guardian]] with little difficulty, being reprogramed within minutes rather than hours or days as might be expected to happen with other technology. | |||
