Antlion
Antlion is a name applied to a series of stationary artillery pieces employed by the Covenant and its remnants.[1][2] These turrets are also colloquially known as "mega-turrets", due to their size and power.[3][4]
OverviewEdit
Antlion turrets are static structures, with a single massive siege plasma mortar mounted atop. They fire in bursts of three, launching powerful plasma strikes across long distances.[3]
VariantsEdit
There are two primary Antlion variants in use.
- Emp'seam-pattern Antlion: the Antlion variant predominantly used by the Covenant.[1]
- Eklon'Dal Workshop Antlion: a modified Antlion turret manufactured by the Eklon War-Forges for the Banished.[2]
