The '''Z-8250 Anti-Ship Exterior Defense Network''', alternatively known as '''Forerunner Artillery'''<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''' page 104</ref>, is a type of close-in weapon system built by the [[Forerunner]]s for the defense of their ships and installations. It fires small bursts of guided [[hard light]] bolts.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</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 [[Battle of Earth (2557)|Didact's attack on Earth]]. A number of these weapons were also used by the [[Covenant remnant]] on [[Requiem]], 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 name="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.
