Eeo'Pimu-pattern Shade

For the other versions of the Shade turret, see Shade.

The Type-27 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun, abbreviated as Type-27 ASG, is a Covenant anti-infantry gun turret and one of several turret models commonly identified as Shades.

Design details
The T-27 ASG is made up of the turret with a frontal plasma shield on top of an anti-gravity mount, making it the only Shade variant with a plasma shield. It is also more portable than other variants.

Tactics

 * The frontal plasma shield is very effective in protecting the gunner from projectile fire, so throw plasma grenades to destroy it.
 * When a Sangheili mans the turret, their head can be seen protruding above the plasma shield. Use a scoped weapon to take them out by head shots.
 * In the beginning section of the level Delta Halo, use the T-27s scattered around in the area to take down the approaching T-52 "Phantom" TC's Heavy plasma cannons as well as the deployed Covenant infantry.

Trivia
Halo 2 multiplayer maps that have Shade turrets, such as Headlong and Zanzibar, sometimes have M247 General Purpose Machine Guns replacing them instead.
