The ''' | The '''Z-520 Encounter-Mitigation System''',<ref name="universe"/> known simply as the '''Splinter turret''' is a [[Forerunner]] turret that was used by [[Promethean Soldier]]s following the [[Requiem Campaign]]. It fires a wide projectile that upon impact releases multiple small explosives that will explode shortly after.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | ||
==Overview== | |||
Used by Forerunner forces serving in [[Builder Security]] during the Forerunner's [[Forerunner-Flood War|war]] with the [[Flood]], the Z-520 Splinter Cannon fires unstable light mass projectiles that break apart on impact, releasing reactive fragments that devastate massed [[Flood#Infection|Infection Forms]]. Seemingly designed for use in quick-reaction and expeditionary military strikes, the Splinter Cannon can either be physically moved to a site by [[Promethean Soldier|Soldier constructs]] or instantly called in to reinforce a position by use of a [[Slipspace translocation|translocation]] beacon. [[UNSC]] forces have only encountered the weapon paired with a generator pedestal, but it is possible there are vehicle-mounted configurations.<ref name="universe"/> | |||
Absent from use during the conflict on [[Requiem]] for unknown reasons, the Splinter Cannon is one of many long-lost weapons that Cortana has reclaimed from the Forerunner archives on [[Genesis]].<ref name="universe"/> | |||
