Assault cannon: Difference between revisions

The weapon uses tubes of radioactive incendiary gel, very similar to those fired by the standard fuel rod gun, as ammunition.<ref name="multiple" /> The gel can be fired in globs, as seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', ''Halo Wars'', "Halo: Reach, and occasionally in ''Halo 3: ODST'', which detonate on impact and have an arcing trajectory. The weapon can also fire the gel in a "beam", as seen in ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'', ''Halo Wars'', and ''Halo 3: ODST''. It is presumed that the weapon itself can switch between these two modes by the Mgalekgolo using it.{{Citation needed}} However, before firing, the weapon must be charged up. This "charge" makes it very obvious that the Hunter is attempting to shoot an enemy, and it also makes it fairly easy for players to dodge the cannon's blast.
