The ''Halo 2''-era Plasma Turret can't be detached but can be meleed or shot off using UNSC or Covenant firearms. Also, the turret can be manned after it has been mounted by an [[Unggoy Heavy]]. | The ''Halo 2''-era Plasma Turret can't be detached but can be meleed or shot off using UNSC or Covenant firearms.

An early take on the {{Pattern|Kez'katu|Phantom}} dropship in ''Halo 2'' originally featured door-mounted ''Shepsu'' plasma cannons, in a fashion similar to the {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}} configuration featured from ''[[Halo 3]]'' onward. This early Phantom was used in the [[Halo 2 E3 demo|''Halo 2'' E3 demo]] and later restored by the [[Digsite]] team for use in [[Modding|modded content]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Discoveries|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-discoveries|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Digsite Discoveries|D=17|M=07|Y=2023}} | |||
In early builds of ''[[Halo 3]]'', the ''Halo 2''-era Plasma Turret was used as a placeholder before the Halo 3-era Plasma Turret was finalized into the game.{{Ref/Marketing|H3|Halo 3 ViDoc: Et Tu, Brute?}} During the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the T52 DESW featured in the game was erroneously labeled as "Type-42 Directed Energy Support Weapon" in [[Bungie.net]] game stats reports. This was not fixed for the final game. | |||
