The Colossus' primary weapon is a long-range [[Mark 2555 heavy railgun|Mark 2555/20cm heavy railgun]], a massive weapon originally designed for installation on fortified structures.

After upgrades, the Colossus can stomp with its legs, sending out a shockwave that stuns and damages enemy ground units.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

[[Isabel]] retains the Colossus' manufacturing templates from her supply-chain training on Earth, though manufacturing these massive combat machines represented a considerable burden on the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}'s supplies. By [[2559|May 2559]], at least one Colossus was used by [[Sunray 1-1]] during [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]] in their efforts to halt [[Colony]]'s plan. The Colossus was used to disable the [[charging column]]s being used by [[Colony]] to power up a {{Class|Despair|fighter}} for launch.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Not on My Watch}}

In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', Colossi can be built at the [[UNSC Garage]] by [[Avery Johnson]] in place of [[M808S Scorpion]]s. Un-upgraded Colossi are effective against vehicles, okay against infantry and structures, and do poorly against aircraft. Once upgraded with the Stomp ability, the Colossus will perform well against infantry. In [[Blitz]], they cost 140 energy. On Operation: SPEARBREAKER, a Colossus can be requested within personnel drop zones free of population cost, but it can only be deployed one at the time, while the deployment time takes at least 5 seconds upon request, faster than standard Colossus. It is also already upgraded with stomp, to shut down the recharging network on the [[Despair-class fighter|Forerunner ship]].
