The | The '''Gorespike cannon''' is a large anti-aerospace weapon emplacement designed and utilized by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Site|Id=cflegendend|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-legendary-endings|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Canon Fodder - Legendary Endings|D=13|M=12|Y=2021}} This model of cannon was seen deployed in multiple locations across [[Installation 07]] as they [[Installation 07 conflict|fought]] to control the ring in early [[2560]]. On [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]] the Banished used three of them to shoot down [[Pelican]] ''[[Echo 216]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}}{{Ref/Reuse|Pelican Down}} | ||

The Gorespike | The [[Banished]] made use of Gorespike cannons in various locations across [[Installation 07]] during their [[Installation 07 conflict|occupation]] of the Halo. At some point, the {{UNSCShip|Panama}} encountered a network of these cannons after being separated from its [[battle group]].{{Ref/Map|Id=Deadlock|HINF|[[Deadlock (Halo Infinite)|Deadlock]]}}{{Ref/Reuse|cflegendend}} The {{Class|Mulsanne|frigate}} had been forcibly driven into the cannon's killbox by squadrons of Banished hunter-killer warships. Attempting to buy time for the frigate to find cover or evacuate its supplies and crew, [[Spartan]] ground teams were deployed in a last-ditch effort to cripple or destroy the control node for the cannon network.{{Ref/Reuse|cflegendend}} | ||
A trio of the cannons managed to shoot down [[Pelican]] ''[[Echo 216]]'' as it ferried [[John-117]] across the Halo's surface on [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]]. Leaving behind the Pelican and [[Fernando Esparza|the pilot]], the Master Chief fought his way through defending Banished forces at each cannon and destroyed their power cores with the help of [[the Weapon]], taking out the cannons. At the first two cannons, after the Master Chief got inside of the control room, Banished [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] contacted him via a holographic transmission to taunt the Spartan and challenge him to a final battle between them, "a true test of legends." After all three cannons were destroyed, Escharum dispatched [[Tovarus]] and [[Hyperius]] of the [[Hand of Atriox]] Spartan Killers after the Master Chief, but he managed to kill them both. No longer pinned down by the cannons, ''Echo 216'' was able to take off once again and resume its mission.{{Ref/Level|Id=Pelican Down|Hi|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]}} | |||

The multiplayer map [[Deadlock (Halo Infinite)|Deadlock]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' is set under and around one of these Gorespike cannons. When a team scores a point in objective modes, the gun will fire at the {{UNSCShip|Panama}} floating above the map.{{Ref/Reuse|Deadlock}} | *The multiplayer map [[Deadlock (Halo Infinite)|Deadlock]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' is set under and around one of these Gorespike cannons.
