*The Plasma Cannon has what looks like three petite [[energy shield]] plates on its front, a vestige of the large Plasma Turret on ''[[Halo 2]]''. These energy shields appear to be an aesthetic choice, as they are rather inadequate and provide no protection from enemy fire.

*In the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]] after you deactivate the second shield, go outside. There should be an allied Phantom outside, and an Elite operating the Plasma Cannon. Kill him, and jump next to the turret and quickly press RB. You should be operating it, although if you jump on the Phantom directly, you will fall off into the water below as the Phantom itself is not solid. You can rip off the turret and use it in the fight against the [[Scarabs]], if you kill the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] and give it to him.
