==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/Reuse|universe}} | |||

''Halo 2'' multiplayer maps that have Shade turrets, such as ''[[Headlong]]'' and ''[[Zanzibar]]'', sometimes have [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun]]s replacing them instead. | |||
