===Specifications=== | |||
As its name suggests, the Spade features an independent-wheel drive system, giving it the ability to traverse difficult terrain with relative ease. It is powered by an [[M96 methane engine]] which uses compound energy, capable of powering the truck for long periods of time in physically demanding locales. The Spade's flatbed can carry large quantities of supplies, and a tow cable is mounted to the front grille, adding to the vehicle's utility. The Spade is available in a wide variety of colors.<ref name="EVG"/> | |||
The Spade is designed for operations on rugged colonial worlds that possess only minimal infrastructure. The Spade and its sibling frontier trucks share parts – and handling characteristics – with the ubiquitous [[M12 Warthog]], which meant that many recruits were already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp.<ref name="CF100">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial ''Halo Waypoint'': Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial]</ref> | |||

*In-game, the Spade uses the Warthog's entity tags. If the player approaches [[Jorge-052]] while he is riding the vehicle, the message ''"Hold X to ride in Warthog"'' will appear instead of the vehicle's own tag. In addition, in the meta-game stats, Halo Waypoint stats, and on ''Bungie.net'', kills with the Spade appear as Warthog kills. | *In-game, the Spade uses the Warthog's entity tags.
