'''Ad Victoriam''' is a specialised variant of the [[M57 Pilum]] shoulder-fired heavy weapon used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].

==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|M57 Pilum}}
Ad Victoriam is an improved M57 that fires three laser-guided [[M29 rocket|M29 50x130mm rockets]] in a "V" formation, all equipped with an airburst proximity fuse. The operator can use smart scope in order to guide the missiles with the reticle, and doing so will fire the missiles in a cluster rather than a "V" formation.{{Ref/Game|Id=REQ|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ card|Detail=Ad Victoriam description|Quote=There's nowhere to hide. Improved Rocket Launcher that fires two additional missiles in a "V" pattern with each shot. All three missiles can be laser-guided when using Smart-Link and feature an airburst proximity fuse.}}

Outwardly, the Ad Victoriam retains the standard M57 Pilum's chassis and mostly keeps its original paintjob but adds olive green and red stripes, along with a olive green falcon emblem in the middle part of the weapon on each side. The UNSC logos have also been moved closer to the front of the weapon.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Ad Victoriam in-game model}}

==Gameplay==
{{Main|Rocket Launcher}}
Ad Victoriam is a Rare {{Energy|5}} Power Weapon REQ worth {{RP|100}} when sold. The M57 Pilum is featured as a usable weapon called the "Rocket Launcher", in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. It is a [[power weapon]], which fires slow-moving rockets that deal an incredible amount of damage upon detonation, with a wide area of effect. The Rocket Launcher is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and to compensate, it has a small magazine size, slow reload speed and ammo is generally very rare.
