During the [[Second Ark Conflict]] the Banished deployed mega turrets as a straightforward anti-siege weapon at war camps which had the necessary infrastructure and permanence to support their use.<ref name="BACK">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/back-mentality '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Back Mentality'']</ref> | |||

In ''[[Halo Wars]]'' the mega turret is a strong and resilient stationary unit. The only instances that they can be controlled are on the campaign level ''[[Escape]]'' and [[Skirmish]] level ''[[Tundra]]''. A burst from the turret is strong enough to wipe out a squad of Marines. To destroy one, it is recommended to use units that has a high speed, because they can reach the turret before it fires at them. Another tactic is to attack from its back, since it takes time for it to turn around and fire. One can also exploit its long recharge time, by sending a cannon fodder unit as a distraction for the turret to eliminate, and then attack the turret with full force while it recharges. In the level ''Escape'', the mega turret is located next to the initial [[Covenant citadel]], and can be used to destroy the base. Thanks to its long range of attack, one can also use it to destroy the Scarabs encountered in the level. An additional advantage is that it can fire on targets obscured by "the fog of war", requiring no nearby allies around its target unlike most leader abilities. | |||
In | In order to use the mega turret the player must station an infantry squad inside the structure and pay resources in order to fire it at a location. The player must wait until the turret recharges before they can fire it again. | ||
A hidden mega turret is in the level [[Repairs]], but outside of the map since its blasts are being to used to represent those of the [[CPV-class heavy destroyer|Covenant destroyer]]. The only way to see it is through the [[Repairs glitch]]. | A hidden mega turret is in the level [[Repairs]], but outside of the map since its blasts are being to used to represent those of the [[CPV-class heavy destroyer|Covenant destroyer]].

In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' the mega turret is a base slot structure exclusive to [[Pavium]] once the player has used a leader power to unlock it. Unlike its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart the mega turret in ''Halo Wars 2'' is automated similar to the Banished Spike turrets. Pavium himself is able to highlight targets with his target locator though. | |||
