| The '''heavy artillery''' is a [[Forerunner]] anti-air cannon and close-in weapon system that comprises the '''Z-8250 Anti-Ship Exterior Defense Network''' ('''Z-8250 ASEDN''') along with the [[Z-8250 light artillery|light artillery]]. Used for the defense of Forerunner ships and terrestrial installations alike, it fires guided bursts of ionized particles. While the artillery can operate independently, it is most commonly used to support and defend larger weapons, such as [[Z-8060 Particle Cannon|particle cannons]].<ref name="evg">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 104''</ref> | | The '''unidentified Forerunner heavy close-in weapon system''' is close-in weapon system used by the [[Forerunner]] [[Ecumene]], specifically on the ''[[Mantle's Approach]]''. It fires a small burst of guided [[hard light]] bolts against [[Battle of Earth (2557)|attacking enemies]].<ref>'''Halo 4''' campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</ref> A number of these weapons were also used on [[Requiem]], in the location codenamed [[The Gate]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Artifact|S1E2 ''Artifact'']]</ref><ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref><ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref> |

| These weapons were present on the [[Ur-Didact]]'s flagship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', and were used against [[John-117]]'s [[F-41 Broadsword]] during the [[New Phoenix Incident|Didact's attack on Earth]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</ref>

|

| A number of these weapons were also used by the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant remnant]] on [[Requiem]] during the [[Requiem Campaign]] in the locations codenamed "[[The Gate]],"<ref name="Ep2">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Artifact|S1E2 ''Artifact'']]</ref><ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref><ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref> "[[Sniper Alley]]"{{Ref/Reuse|Ep2}} and "[[Lockup]]".<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Scattered|S1E6 ''Scattered'']]</ref> At "[[Control]]," UNSC forces were able to hack the weapons to temporarily use them against the Covenant.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Expendable|S1E8 ''Expendable'']]</ref> Contrary to the guns previously encountered, the guns at the location "[[Harvester (location)|Harvester]]" were protected by energy shielding. Most of these weapons on Requiem could be deactivated manually, however [[Roland]] had to hack the energy shields of those at "Harvester" before [[Fireteam Crimson]] could destroy them.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Exodus|S1E10 ''Exodus'']]</ref>
