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,[1][2] however a variant with its own stand is also available.[3]

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.
