Mounted on a 360-degree traversal mount, the T-26 ASG fires two bolts of slow moving, high powered plasma encased in magnetic fields. The accuracy of the weapon is fairly low, as the bolts of plasma fired can hit anywhere within the aiming reticle. The T-26 ASG is in the shape of a ball-turret, has a higher rate of fire than the other iterations of the Shade, and provides excellent front and side protection for the gunner. Like other versions of the Shade, it is elevated on a small gravity lift that hovers the turret in the air, and so has a full 360 degree field of view. Interestingly, the turret's aiming reticle is similar to a [[Type-33 needler|Type-33]]'s, except with a circle of lines at the center. | Mounted on a 360-degree traversal mount, the T-26 ASG fires two bolts of slow moving, high powered plasma encased in magnetic fields.

The Shade is effective against most infantry. However, due to their high intelligence, [[Sangheili]] will often find cover and escape its range of fire. On this same note, the bolts lack the required punch to damage [[Mgalekgolo]], whose armor and combat shield can withstand most Covenant and UNSC small firearms.

The T-26 ASG has shown good defense against light vehicles such as the [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Type-32]], and in desperate situations, can serve as anti-aircraft defense, requiring only a few direct hits to destroy a [[Type-26 Banshee|Type-26]]. | ||
