The AA Shade also appears in Halo 5: Guardians, albeit it can now be operated by the player. Just like in Halo: Reach, the anti-air shade fires very powerful anti-air plasma bolts, which act similarly to a Revenant's mortar shot or a fuel rod. Krakens usually have AA shades on it as its main form of defense. This form of the turret can be placed in Forge.
