'''Etilka''' was a specially-modified [[M247H machine gun]] employed by [[SPARTAN-II]] commando [[Jorge-052]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Noble Intentions|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}}
 
==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|M247H machine gun}}
Etilka was a modified M247H HMG employed by Jorge-052. Among his modifications included the removal of the gun shield, replaced with a heat shroud around the barrel, and the addition of yellow paint highlights around the weapon alongside more ergonomic handle placement.{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}} This weapon proved the basis of a [[War Games]] weapon, modified to fire explosive rounds and grant the wielder in the simulation increased movement speed and damage resistance. This War Games variant retained the visual look of the original weapon wielded by Jorge, with the addition of the "S-052" tag and [[NOBLE Team]] emblem. The magazine, however, now has been replaced with a red high capacity magazine.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Etilka in-game model}}
 
===Service history===
Etilka was wielded by SPARTAN-II Jorge-052. He served with the weapon during the [[Battle of Fumirole]]{{Ref/Marketing|HR|Deliver Hope}} and later, the [[Fall of Reach]]. During the opening stages of the fall, he employed the weapon during a mission to investigate the [[Visegrád Relay]]{{Ref/Level|HR|Winter Contingency}} and later the defense of [[SWORD Base]].{{Ref/Level|HR|ONI: Sword Base}} Jorge would then employ the weapon during the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]], using it to hold off [[Covenant]] forces so that [[SPARTAN-B312]] could take [[Spire One]] offline.{{Ref/Level|HR|Tip of the Spear}} The weapon's last actions would come in [[Operation: UPPER CUT]], with Jorge using the weapon inside the captured {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'' to hold off Covenant forces. Following damage taken to the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]] needed for the operation, Jorge would stay behind on the Corvette to manually detonate the engine-turned-bomb and allow B312 to escape. In the ensuing destruction of the {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}} ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', Etilka was likely destroyed.{{Ref/Level|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}}
 
By [[2558]], Etilka - alongside many other pieces of equipment employed by NOBLE Team - was the basis of weaponry and equipment being fielded in the War Games simulations used for [[SPARTAN-IV]] training.{{Ref/Reuse|CF}}
 
==Gameplay==
===''Halo: Reach''===
In ''Halo: Reach'', Etilka appears as a modified M247H machine gun wielded by Jorge-052 in the missions Winter Contingency, ONI: Sword Base, Tip of the Spear and Long Night of Solace. Aside from its unique visual properties, it displays no apparent differences from the regular M247H weapons useable by the player. Etilka is only ever seen in the hands of Jorge-052 and can not be wielded by the player. Additionally, Etilka is never named or given particular status in ''Halo: Reach''.
 
===''Halo 5: Guardians''===
Etilka appears in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' as a Mythic weapon added in the [[Memories of Reach]] update. This marked the first time Etilka was given a particular name or special attributes. In [[Warzone]], the Etilka [[List of REQ cards|REQ card]] has the following stats;{{Ref/Game|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ Card|Detail=Jorge's Chaingun Description|Quote=Remember Reach. Mythic Chaingun with high-capacity magazine. Jorge's Chaingun also boosts movement speed and damage resistance. You cannot perform Spartan Abilities while using this weapon.}}
*'''Rarity:''' Mythic
*'''Level:''' 6
Unlike the standard [[M343A2 chaingun]]s found in the game, Etilka fires explosive rounds and grants the wielder a speed boost and increased damage resistance.
 
==Trivia==
*Etilka is never named in ''Halo: Reach''. It was first given a name and special focus in a [[Canon Fodder]] post focusing on the weapons and other lore aspects surrounding the Memories of Reach update for ''Halo 5: Guardians''.{{Ref/Reuse|CF}}
