Titan Close Combat Weapon is the generic name given to the oversized and extremely deadly close quarters combat weapons fitted to titan-class vehicles.¹ Several races are known to fit such weapons to their titans, including the Imperium², Eldar³ and Orks.⁴

Titan Close Combat Weapon Types

For vehicles as large as titans "close combat" is a relative term, essentially starting once the enemy has gotten within the vehicles defensive shield perimeter. Accordingly, titan close combat weapons are often large enough to mount additional secondary ranged weapon systems, as in the case of the Eldar Phantom Titan Power Fist³ or are themselves extremely short-ranged energy weapons of surpassing power, such as the Imperial Laser Burner.⁵ Most typically, however, titan close combat weapons resemble standard close combat weapons used by the infantry of the race that built the titan, but on a stupendous scale and utilising essentially the same technologies.
