The Eeo'Pimu-pattern Gun Pod,[1] (UNSC Type classification: Type-27 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun, T-27 ASG) is a Covenant anti-infantry gun turret and one of several turret models commonly identified as Shades.[2][3]
Overview
Design details
The Eeo'Primu design consists of two small plasma cannons surrounded by a frontal plasma shield atop an anti-gravity mount. The design features no armour around the sides, back or top of the turret, making it extremely vulnerable to enemy fire from most directions. However, this weakness is offset by the Eeo'Primu's portability; the turret is small and light enough to be self-deployed and manned by Unggoy soldiers, making it the lightest of all Shade variations in use.[1]
The Eeo'Primu's armament consists of two rapid-fire plasma cannons, similar to the Type-44 heavy plasma cannon employed by Ru'swum-pattern Phantoms.[3]
Usage
The Type-27 Shade was primarily developed for Covenant Special Operations units and select fleets serving under specific Hierarch mandate. During the Human-Covenant War it was employed in particular by those forces serving the Prophet of Regret, and was seen throughout his various campaigns.[1] In the post-war era, the turret's lightweight and easily-portable nature have seen it proliferated throughout human space for use by human insurrectionists.[3]
In-game information
Halo 2
- The frontal plasma shield is very effective in protecting the gunner from projectile fire, so throw Anskum-pattern plasma grenades to destroy it.
- When an Elite mans the turret, its head can be seen protruding above the plasma shield. Use a scoped weapon to take it 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.
