===Armaments===
The spike turret's primary armament consists of aits eponymous [[Spike weaponry|spike launcher]], presumably [[gravitic]] in nature similar to the [[Spiker]]s used by [[Jiralhanae]] infantry, with twin barrels that alternate firing. To bolster its capabilities, the spike turret is capable of receiving a number of upgrades to make it more effective against select kinds of targets. Unlike its [[human]] and [[Covenant]] counterparts (respectively the [[M5 Talos]] and {{Pattern|Kewu Umppi'pa'|citadel turret}}), it is not restricted to only one of these upgrades, and is instead capable of mounting any combination of all three. They are as follows;
