When the UNSC ship Pillar of Autumn was refitted for the war against the Covenant, it received the latest version of the ship-based MAC weaponry. Magnetic field recyclers coupled with booster capacitors allowed the cannon to be fired three times per full charge, unlike traditional shipborne MAC systems, which could only fire once per charge. The Pillar of Autumn also carried new lighter MAC rounds that had a less dense ferrous core, but a harder outer layer of tungsten carbide. This technology is only possessed by the Pillar of Autumn and is never seen in gameplay. Also, the Pillar of Autumn's MAC charges up faster than normal UNSC MAC cannons, most likely due to the Pillar of Autumn's advanced reactor(s). | When the UNSC ship Pillar of Autumn was refitted for the war against the Covenant, it received the latest version of the ship-based MAC weaponry.

Called the '''MAC Blast''', it is used by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} to bombard an area of the ground from orbit, using its ship-mounted Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. It is mainly used as a support weapon to help the UNSC penetrate heavy Covenant defenses, big walker units, and Covenant bases. | |||
The MAC Blast can only be used if [[James Cutter]] is the UNSC Leader. | |||
