When firing, the Shade fires three rounds of slow, purple plasma bolts at once, and has very limited precision and a medium rate of fire.

The tripodal base of the ''Mamua'uda'' design was later carried into the successor {{Pattern|Sho'riru|Shade|}} and {{Pattern|Bmur'resh|Shade}}s. | |||

{{#widget:YouTube|id=TaAw8tqek9I|thumb|width=300px|caption=A video of the Shade turret's walk cycle, restored via modding.}} | |||
During the [[Development of Halo: Combat Evolved|production]] of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', early revisions of the Shade were able to walk using the three legs on the base. While this ability was ultimately [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved vehicles|cut from the game]], the rough animations for the turret's walk remain in the game files and can be easily restored via the ''[[Halo Editing Kit]]''. In 2022, a step-by-step guide to do such a thing was posted on the [[Halo Waypoint]] forums by [[Kenneth Peters]]; broadly related to his ongoing work in the [[Digsite]] cut content restoration effort. | |||
