The '''Heavy plasma cannon''' is a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[directed energy weapon]]. Essentially a more powerful version of the [[Class-2 Energy Gun]]s mounted on [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|T32 RAVs]], the heavy plasma cannon fires bolts of [[Plasma|superheated plasma]] and can be found mounted on many Covenant vehicles, including [[Type-28 Troop Carrier|T-25 Spirits]], [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|T-52 Phantoms]], and [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|T-31 Seraphs]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''game manual''</ref> | The '''Heavy plasma cannon''' is a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[directed energy weapon]].

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the design is mostly the same, but the bolts it fires are slightly different, being less powerful. The cannon also seems to fire faster than in Halo 2. | In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the design is mostly the same, but the bolts it fires are slightly different, being less powerful.

In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the plasma cannon is again outfitted on both Spirit and Phantom dropships. The version mounted on the Phantom is very similar to the one in Halo 2 and Halo 3 and the one on the Spirit looks very similar to the one from Halo: Combat Evolved, the only difference being that the cannon sits higher in the casing. The ammunition that both these versions fire has changed, and are similar to the bolts fired from the [[Concussion Rifle]], being very powerful but also very slow. | In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the plasma cannon is again outfitted on both Spirit and Phantom dropships, as well as on the Space version of the Banshee, the Type-27 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter and on the Seraph fighters. | ||
Also, the [[Phantom Gunboat]], a new space version of the Phantom introduced in ''Halo: Reach'' is equipped with two new space combat versions of the cannon, one chin mounted gun with three long prongs at the end, and multiple smaller cannons mounted on the sides. Even though the chin-mounted cannon and the side cannons look different, they fire the same type of blue plasma bolts. | |||

The heavy plasma cannons mounted on both the Space Banshees and on the Seraph fighters greatly vary in shape (the ones mounted on the Space Banshees are very elongated, and the ones on the Seraphs are very small and build into the "wings"), but both fire the same type of ammunition, smaller sized blue plasma bolts, which are fired faster but do less damage than | |||
the normal "concussion" version of the heavy cannon mounted on the Phantoms and Spirits. | |||

Even though the chin-mounted cannon and the side cannons look different, they fire the same type of big blue plasma bolts, similar to those from the normal "concussion" version. | |||
