Introduction

The AIE-486H or more commonly the Machine Gun Turret is a portable or stationary gun. When carried, the player uses two hands.

Operation

The turret is capable of automatic fire. It has an infinite ammo capacity while stationary and has 200 rounds when it is mobilized. It is set up in certain areas at the beginning of the game in its stationary mode.

Once on it, you can press "B" to detach turret and use it as a chaingun. Once detached, the player will appear in a third-person view which will make the player using the weapon less accurate and slower.

Pulling the right trigger(on the controller) once will cause the gun to fire two rounds at a moderate rate, while when you hold it down it builds up its rate of fire to a higher rate. It slowly climbs during automatic fire like the SMG, but because of its weight not as much. The gun cannot overheat like chainguns in other games.

While wielding the gun in its standalone form (un-mounted), you can't run or turn around quickly. If you are standing in one point you can aim slightly to either side before the Spartan adjusts his feet.

It has been shown to only spawn on Valhalla and above the gate on High Ground.
