The H-165 FOM or Target Locator[1] is a United Nations Space Command piece of equipment. It is a compact, handheld laser pointer designed for acquiring and designating targets for small-scale orbital bombardment from an orbiting UNSC Starship.[2][3] While similar in function to the UNSC Laser Designator, the Target Locator is much smaller and can be held with one hand. The Target Locator also has a scope.
The Target Locator appears as a weapon in Halo: Reach. When the trigger is held down for several seconds, a green laser beam marks the targets, and a blue circle is projected on the ground around the target area. Once the target has been locked, 7 missiles strike the designated area from above, doing a large amount of area damage.[4]
Trivia
- Destroying two vehicles with a single shot from the Target Locater in the third Campaign mission unlocks the Achievement Two Corpses in One Grave. This may be a reference to the Halo 3 Achievement Two for One, which is unlocked by earning a double kill with the Spartan Laser, another anti-vehicular specific weapon.
- The Target Locator is available only in Firefight and Campaign. It will not appear in Matchmaking or Forge for balancing reasons.
