The '''Constructor''' is a specialized [[Sentinel]] whose main function is to repair damaged [[Forerunner]] structures.<ref name="sacred icon">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref> [[Aggressor Sentinel|Aggressor]]s will come to their aid if they are attacked, as they have no weapon systems of their own to defend themselves.{{Ref/Reuse|sacred icon}}
'''Constructor Sentinels''' are a specialized variant of [[Sentinel]] whose main function is to repair damaged [[Forerunner]] structures.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P327}}<ref name="sacred icon">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref> These small utility drones operate in coordinated groups to diagnose basic faults, weave minor repairs into existing structures, and retune [[hard light]] structural elements. Vast numbers of Constructor Sentinels may cooperate with [[Strato-Sentinel]]s to complete large-scale repair operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P327}} If a Constructor Sentinel is attacked, [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s will often come to their aid, as they have no weapon systems of their own to defend themselves.{{Ref/Reuse|sacred icon}}

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/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.}} The beams can also be used to open [[Cryptum]]s<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''[[Guardians]]''</ref> or lower the shields on [[piston]]s, allowing them to access the tunnel networks built within the [[Sentinel Wall]].{{Ref/Reuse|sacred icon}}<ref name="isolation">'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer level ''[[Isolation]]''</ref> Although weak, one of these beams can harm an organism if they come in contact with it.{{Ref/Reuse|sacred icon}}

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 form an excellent security perimeter. However, with no weapons systems of their own, the Constructors must rely on Aggressors when threatened.{{Ref/Reuse|sacred icon}}
