| The '''''Eeo'Pimu''-pattern Gun Pod''',{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=303}} {{Type|27|Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|ASG}} is a [[Covenant]] anti-infantry gun turret and one of several turret models commonly identified as [[Shade]]s.{{Ref/Book|Id=visual|EVG|Page=171}}{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/shade|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Shade Turret|D=04|M=01|Y=2020}} | | The '''Type-27 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun''', abbreviated as '''Type-27 ASG''', is a [[Covenant]] anti-infantry gun turret and one of several turret models commonly identified as [[Shade]]s.<ref name="visual">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 171''</ref> Following the [[Human-Covenant War]], many [[human]] [[insurrectionist]] groups got a hold of numerous Type-27 Shades.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/shade '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Shade Turret'']</ref> |

| ==Overview==
| | ==Design details== |
| ===Design details===
| | The T-27 ASG is made up of the turret with a frontal plasma shield on top of an anti-gravity mount, making it the only Shade variant with a plasma shield. It is also more portable than the other variants.<ref>'''Halo 2'''</ref> The Type-27 Shade was primarily developed for [[Covenant Special Operations]] units, although it is accessible enough to be self-deployed and manned by [[Unggoy]]. The rapid-fire plasma cannon that is equipped on the Type-27 is similar to the [[heavy plasma cannon]] employed by [[Type-52 Phantom]]s.<ref name="universe"/> |
| The ''Eeo'Pimu'' 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'Pimu''{{'}}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.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | |
|
| |
|
| The ''Eeo'Pimu''{{'}}s armament consists of two rapid-fire [[plasma cannon]]s, similar to the [[Type-44 plasma cannon|Type-44 heavy plasma cannon]] employed by {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} These weapons are subject to restrictions placed by [[San'Shyuum]] munitions-cyphers of the old Covenant empire - something Sangheili manufacturers have begun to reverse in the post-war era.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p302|Enc22|Page=302}} | | ==Tactics== |
| | | *The frontal plasma shield is very effective in protecting the gunner from projectile fire, so throw [[plasma grenade]]s to destroy it. |
| ===Usage===
| | *When an [[Sangheili|Elite]] mans the turret, its head can be seen protruding above the plasma shield. Use a scoped weapon to take it out by [[headshot]]s. |
| The ''Eeo'Pimu''-pattern 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 [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration|those forces]] serving the [[Prophet of Regret]], and was seen throughout his various campaigns.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} Numerous specimens were employed by the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], and were deployed alongside a special task force led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]] to the [[Threshold gas mine]], and were ultimately used by his [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction|rebellion]] as air defences against Covenant aircraft.{{Ref/Level|H2|The Arbiter}} They were later deployed by the Prophet of Regret's forces in the [[Battle for Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 05]].{{Ref/Level|H2|Outskirts}}{{Ref/Level|H2|Delta Halo}}
| | *In the beginning section of the level ''[[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]]'', use the Shades scattered around in the area to take down the approaching [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]'s [[heavy plasma cannon|plasma cannons]] as well as the deployed Covenant infantry. |
| | |
| In the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] era, the turret's lightweight and easily-portable nature have seen it proliferated throughout [[Human colonies|human space]] for use by [[human]] [[insurrectionist]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} [[Achoem Weapons]] ultimately went on to produce the {{Pattern|Bmur'resh|Shade|}} of Shade based on the ''Eeo'Pimu'' design during the [[Blooding Years]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p302}}

| ==In-game information== | | ==Trivia== |
| ===''Halo 2''===
| | ''Halo 2'' multiplayer maps that have Shade turrets, such as ''[[Headlong]]'' and ''[[Zanzibar]]'', sometimes have [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun]]s replacing them instead. |
| *The frontal plasma shield is very effective in protecting the gunner from projectile fire, so throw {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s to destroy it.
| |
| *When an [[Sangheili|Elite]] mans the turret, its head can be seen protruding above the plasma shield. Use a scoped weapon to take it out by [[headshot]]s.
| |
| *In the beginning section of the level ''[[Delta Halo]]'', use the Shades scattered around in the area to take down the approaching [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]]'s [[heavy plasma cannon|plasma cannons]] as well as the deployed Covenant infantry.
