Template:Vehicle Infobox The Type-29 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun, abbreviated as Type-29 ASG, is an anti-infantry variant of the Covenant's Shade gun turret.[1]
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 suggested, the T-26 ASG is very effective against infantry, so use vehicles against it, while infantry would only play a supporting role against it.
