The sentinel beam is one of the few weapons in Halo 5 without any variants. What variants would you like added in the next update?
It’d be nice to see a variant that overheats quicker, but does a lot more damage right before it overheats.
Maybe one with increased battery life?

I want to see a mythic variant that belongs to the monitors that guard the halo rings such as 343 Guilty Spark used to push away Chief and gives you movement speed, a knockback perk and jump height for the reason that the monitors were known to be quick and agile when in battle.

I’ve heard the beams used by the Sentinels at Onyx were pretty much similar to that. If they ever take a peek at that side of Halo again, it’s possible they might look at it.
The Promethean slayer sentinel beam, comes with 200% battery and the beam auto tracks its target even through a teleportation field and the lore could be that the forerunners developed this advanced sentinel beam to destroy flood infected promethean A.I. ( because prometheans suck)
There could always be one variant that is more effective against players rather than just vehicles!

You haven’t seen what the SB can do to the Wraith on the map that looks like the Control Room have you…

No I haven’t, I’ve seen it against phaetons though.

I rest my case. One thats anti-vehicle would be kind of redundant. I think thats honestly why we only have the one version.
Now, one that resembled the old-school one, I could work with that.
One that doesn’t over heat as quick and a shorter cool down.
It would be good, like that one on Halo 3 (if I’m not wrong, PLEASE SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF I AM) that shot the blue beam.

Close, your thinking of the sentinel beam dropped by Sentiel Majors in the H2 campaign. It function like what the Brute Plasma Rifle was to the regular Plasma Rifle. Did more damage and had a faster concentrator been energy, but overheated quicker. It’s only been available in H2 Singleplayer.

Damn it, I got confused, sorry and thanks for the information, I didn’t notice of that while playing, I just thought it was cool. v:
Supreme Sentinel Beam - Increased battery life, shorter cool down, Has slight gold colouration.
Cleansing Sentinel Beam - much wider beam, fire for longer, has much greater battery life but longer cool down. Enemies killed detonate with a small blast radius.
Plasma turret variants?
AA wraith turret as a variant? slightly weaker for balancing?
I would say fuel rod version but we got the hunter cannon.
Needle variant? either like the sword hog turret or like the grunt goblin needle arm?
Imagine the classic CE shade turrets as a mounted version you can carry around!
Splinter turret variants?
Tracking ability?
Helios phaetons cleaning beam as a turret???
Do the weapon pad glitch with any promethean weapon as the base and turn it into the splinter turret, some cool combos using the suppressor variants. Could use them.
Hannibal turret variants?
Mantis ion missiles as the rocket turret?
Scorpion turret made carry-able?
A lot of turrets there sorry…
Third Grenade launcher variant? Whats-his-name on youtube found that a while back.
It’s best to close off this thread. There will be no more halo 5 content. I’m sorry.
One with increased battery and slower over heating would definitely be one of them, i think it would be cool to have maybe one that maybe fires a more powerful pulse when it overheats or something, but at the expense of maybe 10% battery?
The current one in-game clearly takes some cues from Promethean design having the floating parts, so I guess if I had to suggest a variant to add into the game I’d want a 2/3 styled version that’s a solid object. A sheer cosmetic variant on the weapon for fans of that design.

A Spartan can dream…
Despite the fact that Halo 5 will no longer receive content updates in the future, I would be screaming my head off with the following:
- Aggressor Sentinel Beam (the original) - Golden Sentinel Beam - Onyx Sentinel Beam (one of the most dangerous ones in the Halo universe)
