The Gorespike cannon is a large anti-aerospace weapon emplacement designed and utilized by the Banished.[3] This model of cannon was seen deployed in multiple locations across Installation 07 as they fought to control the ring in early 2560. On May 28, 2560 the Banished used three of them to shoot down Pelican Echo 216.[2]
Overview
Operational history
The Banished made use of Gorespike cannons in various locations across Installation 07 during their occupation of the Halo. A trio of the cannons managed to shoot down Pelican Echo 216 as it ferried John-117 across the Halo's surface on May 28, 2560.[2] At some point, the UNSC Panama encountered a network of these cannons after being separated from its battle group.[4][1] The Mulsanne-class frigate had been forcibly driven into the cannon's killbox by squadrons of Banished hunter-killer warships. Attempting to buy time for the frigate to find cover or evacuate its supplies and crew, Spartan ground teams were deployed in a last-ditch effort to cripple or destroy the control node for the cannon network.[1]
Trivia
The multiplayer map Deadlock in Halo Infinite is set under and around one of these Gorespike cannons. When a team scores a point in objective modes, the gun will fire at the UNSC Panama floating above the map.[4]
