=== Disadvantages ===
The Mauler is generally unable to inflict the one-hit kill damage that the M90 Shotgun and later [[M45D shotgun]]s and [[Z-180 Scattershot]] are capable of, unless dual wielded. The spread of the Mauler's shell severely limits its range, and any weapon that can be used outside of close range can take down a user with a Mauler. Ammunition is often rare to come by, and its five shell magazine can be used up rather quickly.

The Mauler's design lineage traces back to the [[Development of Halo: Combat Evolved|development]] of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. During the 1999-2000-era third-person builds of the game, the UNSC were to have a weapon referred to as the "[[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons#Excavator|Excavator]]". The weapon was ultimately shelved, but would eventually form the basis for the Mauler in ''Halo 3''. [[Cut Halo 3 weapons#Excavator|Early versions]] of the Mauler concept showcase a form much more similar to the original Excavator, including [[Subanese crystal|Blamite]] as its ammunition before eventually evolving into the design seen today.{{Ref/Book|Id=AoH3|AoH3|Page=61}} One such early version could be found in ''[[Halo 3 ViDoc: Et Tu, Brute?]]'', with a more finalised model included in the files for the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'' and extracted by fans prior to the weapon's official unveiling.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://flamesoffeenix.wordpress.com/2007/07/09/excavator-uncovered/|Site=7th Columnist|Page=Excavator Uncovered?|D=27|M=10|Y=2024}}
