| Anvil-IV missiles are mounted on the top of an [[AC-220 Vulture]] gunship. They are fired from [[A-74 Sylver Vertical Missile Launcher]]s, and are capable of being fired in a 360-degree radius around the craft. They can be fired in a unified barrage against enemy targets alongside the Vulture's [[Argent V missile]]s.{{Ref/Site|Id=waypoint|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/gallery/vulture/d7c47141-fe31-43ff-8698-3ec01a19b356|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Vulture|D=25|M=03|Y=2011|LocalArchive=Archive:Halo_Waypoint/2009_to_2014/Universe/Vehicles#Vulture}} | | The '''Anvil-IV Air-to-Surface Missiles''' are an explosive ordnance mounted on [[AC-220 Vulture Gunship]]s. These missiles are fired by an [[A-74 Sylver Vertical Missile Launcher]]<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]''', page 46</ref> to make them fall upon enemy ground targets. They are most likely related to the [[Pelican]]'s [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile]]s. |

|
| It is unknown what relation they have with the [[Anvil-II air-to-surface missile]] mounted on the [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *These missiles are mounted on the Vulture once the "''Mega Barrage''" upgrade has been researched. |
| ==Gameplay== | |
| In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the Anvil-IV is granted to the Vulture gunship upon researching the ''Mega Barrage'' upgrade. Once completed, the Vulture can use the Anvil-IVs to bombard a target from afar as the vehicle's '''Y'''-ability. This weapon was replaced in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' with the [[Phoenix missile]], though the A-74 launchers are still present on the in-game model.
