The projectile itself is odd in that it generates from the center of the screen and from a much lower position than other weapons. Though mostly mundane, this can actually detriment the weapon's ability to be used from high ground as ledges can easily catch the projectile, resulting in it exploding prematurely. This can be circumvented by jumping prior to firing. The explosion cannot harm the player directly, so using it in close quarters is viable, provided no other explosives are nearby. The weapon has a very slow rate of fire but possesses infinite ammo in turn. | The projectile itself is odd in that it generates from the center of the screen and from a much lower position than other weapons.

Switching to the secondary weapon will not void the cannon, and likewise, the secondary weapon is able to be swapped out without affecting the cannon. | ||

*Brian Jarrard confirmed that it was indeed a glitch and not an easter egg via Twitter.{{Ref/Twitter|ske7ch|1471318346469543936|Brian Jarrard|Quote=Who are the real heroes who’ve beaten the #HaloInfinite campaign LASO without the wieldable tank turret weapon glitch? 🤔 (I haven’t yet)|D=14|M=11|Y=2023}} | |||
**This confirmation coincided with the weapon's temporary removal from the campaign. Though this was later rolled back following a heavy amount of backlash from fans. | |||
