This article is about the Type-29 variant. For the other versions of the Shade turret, see Shade.

Template:Vehicle Infobox The Type-29 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun, abbreviated as Type-29 ASG, is a Covenant anti-infantry gun turret. It falls under the category of weapons emplacements commonly identified as Shades.

Design details

The T-29 ASG is mounted on a sturdy tripod, and the seat is floating on top of the said tripod. It fires three rounds of slow, purple plasma bolts at once, and has very limited precision and a medium rate of fire. Unlike the other two known Shade variants, it can be moved, but usually by a large force. Its high mobility is used as a compensation for its low protection.

Changes from Halo: Combat Evolved to Halo Wars

• Decreased rate of fire, most likely to balance between its attack and assaulting infantry.
• Cannot be moved by explosions, most likely also for gameplay balance.

Tactics

Halo: Combat Evolved

• Heavy weapons, snipers, or grenades are perfect to eliminate the Shades operator.
• If the player gets close to a Shade and try to push it, the operator can turn the turret and splatter the player with the gun.
• The T-29 ASG is inefficient for killing opposing players in Multiplayer, but very helpful in eliminating vehicles in Multiplayer and Covenant infantries in Campaign.

Halo Wars

• As its name suggests, the T-29 ASG is very effective against infantry, so use vehicles against it, while infantry would only play a supporting role against it.
