Anti-Air Shade Turret (Halo 5: Guardians)

This article is about the Anti-Air Shade Turret in Halo 5: Guardians. For other uses of the term 'Shade', see its disambiguation page.
This model of Anti-Air Shade Turret was used by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant in the Battle of Kamchatka and Battle of Nuusra, during the events of Halo 5: Guardians campaign. It is a variant of the Shade Turret designed for use as an anti-air emplacement, which fires explosive plasma bolts in a similar manner to a flak cannon. Several of these Shade turrets were mounted on each of the Type-55 "Krakens" used by 'Mdama's Covenant, however a variant with its own stand is also available.
==Overview==
===Changes from the Type-26 AA Shade in Halo: Reach===
*Can now be operated by the player.
*Has two frontal cannons instead of one.
*Now fires fully-automatically instead of in bursts.
*Lacks any form of energy shielding.
*Slower rate of fire.
*Shots travel slower.
==Trivia==
*The AA Shade was the only legitimately usable weapon, vehicle, or turret to have no reticle whatsoever in the entire Halo franchise; this was changed in the Warzone Firefight content update where a reticle was added. This reticle is the same reticle as used by the standard Shade.
