A Hunter (Mgalekgolo) using its Assault Cannon
The Assault Cannon is a variation of the more common Fuel Rod Cannon and the Fuel Rod Gun, firing a continuous beam rather than single shots.
Its ammunition comes in the form of incendiary gel tubes called Fuel Rod Cells.[1].
The weapon is located on the right "arm" of the colony, built into the Lekgolo that make up the limb.
In Halo: Combat Evolved it was able to fire single shot or a beam but still had to be charged up.
Trivia
- In Halo:Combat Evolved, the Assault Cannon needs to be charged up, firing single explosive plasma shots, whereas in both Halo 2 and 3 it is capable of firing a continuous beam
- Some people believe the Scarab's main gun is just an enlarged version of the Assault Cannon due to the similarities of the charge-up and the color of the beam.
- In Halo CE, if a Hunter shoots its Assault Cannon at you but he misses, for unknown reasons, he won't correct his aiming, and all his shots will miss (if you don't move from that point)
- In Halo 3, if you look closely at a Hunter's Assault Cannon when it is charging up, green electricity protrudes from the three parts jutting out of the weapon and they form together to make the beam of energy.
