Introduction[]
The Halo is a close to mid-range (up to 500 meters, with a 100-meter optimal range) light energy weapon.
Strategy[]
This energy shotgun is the light version of the medium Corona and heavy Glory.
The Halo is similar to the light kinetic shotgun Gust. However, each Halo projectile adds to an enemy's root (lockdown) threshold "bar". The higher the Halo's level the more effective it is at locking down opponents. If the projectiles miss their target for a second or more, the root threshold bar will slowly drain.
The Halo has high burst DPS and the ability to bypass energy shielding making it effective against Dash robots. Due to the large horizontal energy arc it is possible to immobilize multiple targets in one shot at a significant range. This weapon can be effective against stealth robots such as the Stalker, Loki, and Pursuer if mounted on a lower side hardpoint due to its projectile spread.
The key difference between the Halo, when compared to the Magnetar and Pulsar, is projectile spread. The former can immobilize several enemies at once. The latter two are precision weapons and can usually only immobilize one enemy robot at a time.
The Halo, Corona and Glory's immobilization ability has several important uses. In addition to immobilizing enemy robots for you and your teammates to destroy, they can stop beacon cappers dead in their tracks, giving your team more time to capture vital beacons and gain control of a match. This is especially useful in the game modes Beacon Rush and Domination. Finally, if you are low on health and are being pursued by an enemy robot, the root ability can allow you to safely escape or retreat behind cover to launch a counterattack with teammates.
All shotguns deal little damage at maximum range due to its projectile spread. As they travel further a smaller fraction hits the intended target. Energy shotguns have an even larger shot spread when compared to their kinetic counterparts. This requires the player to get extremely close to deal maximum damage.
Kinetic shotguns (Gust, Storm, and Thunder) have great synergy with the Halo. They have the same range and similar firing mechanics. Pairing them with strong burst fire weapons (Pinata, Orkan or Exodus) can allow the quick elimination of rooted enemies. A bonus is the splash damage having a great effect on closely packed and immobilized enemies. Lastly, using strong energy weapons such as the Magnum, Taran, or Redeemer, can make full use of the Halo's energy based damage.
Pros and Cons[]
Pros
- Quick rate-of-fire
- Energy-based projectiles allows gun to bypass energy shielding
- Shots catch on Aegis shields, depleting them quickly
- Can lock-down enemies
- Huge damage at close range (300 meters or less)
- Reload-while-firing
Cons
- Bullet spread prevents weapon from reaching maximum damage capacity at range (though could be worse)
- Only mediocre damage at 300m-500m
- Does not have capability to lock an enemy down in one clip
- Ineffective against physical shields
- Takes a while to reload to full charges

Trivia[]
- The definition of Halo is a disk or circle of light shown surrounding or above the head of a saint or holy person to represent their holiness. This could represent the bright particles it fires.
- The Halo has a special variant - Stellar Halo - that was available in the Dark Nebula operation.
- Unlike the normal halo, the Stellar halo fires pitch black energy waves that can be very hard to see if the brightness on your device is too low. It's projectiles explodes into bright blue rays when it hits an object.
- The Stellar Halo also has a different sound effect while firing.
- This weapon was added on August 28, 2018.
