The Target Locator also has a scope. | ||
The Target Locator appears as a weapon in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. When the trigger is held down for three seconds, a green laser beam marks the targets, and a red circle is projected on the ground around the target area. Once the target has been locked, [[list of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] missiles strike the designated area from above, doing a large amount of area damage.<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14276699/halo-project/videos/e310_halor_gmp_mortarstrike.html '''IGN''': ''Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Gameplay - E3 2010:Mortar Strike (Off Screen)'']</ref> | |||
