XM4600 Zeus plasma munition howitzer

The Zeus 320mm plasma cannon is a human mortar weapon capable of focusing and directing plasma as a projectile like most Covenant weapons. Developed as a result of reverse engineering Covenant matériel procured by ONI during the Harvest Campaign, it was made to be used on the M145D Rhino. By February 2531, the Rhinos and their plasma cannons were being field-tested and the carried some prototypes on board.

During the Battle for Arcadia, the cannons of five Rhinos in conjunction were used to take down a portion of a giant energy shield, allowing the to take down the Covenant shield generators and air defenses below, exposing the Covenant operation on Arcadia.
