Template:Vehicle Infobox 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.[1]
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 the other variants.[2]
Tactics
- The frontal plasma shield is very effective in protecting the gunner from projectile fire, so throw plasma grenades to destroy it.
- When an Elite mans the turret, their head can be seen protruding above the plasma shield. Use a scoped weapon to take them out by headshots.
- In the beginning section of the level Delta Halo, use the Shades scattered around in the area to take down the approaching Phantom's 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.
