Forerunner particle cannons are | Forerunner particle cannons are enormous floating weapons platforms. They are spherical in shape, surrounded by three curving "arms" spaced at equidistant points around the main gun assembly. Particle cannons project a beam of energy similar to a [[Sentinel beam]] to disintegrate any target in range. They are slow to turn, however, and are vulnerable to ground-based attacks. A well-placed hit from a small [[MAC]] in the central beam port will destroy the device. | ||
A number of these weapons were encountered on [[Requiem]] in use by the [[Promethean]]s as anti-air defenses; one of the cannons obliterated a squad of [[Pelicans]] in a single hit. Two cannons were destroyed by a [[Mammoth]] siegework platform deployed to the surface by the ''[[UNSC Infinity]],'' with the [[Master Chief]] providing targeting for the Mammoth. These cannons were controlled from a central core via an AI, before it was deactivated by [[Cortana]]; causing the remaining two to fire on each other.<ref> '''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]'' </ref> | A number of these weapons were encountered on [[Requiem]] in use by the [[Promethean]]s as anti-air defenses; one of the cannons obliterated a squad of [[Pelicans]] in a single hit.
