| ==Overview== | | ==Overview== |
| Warships usually carry Howler missiles to complement their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s. Unlike missiles such as the [[Archer missile|Archer]], the Howler does not pack as powerful a punch individually, but is instead designed to overwhelm enemy defenses in mass saturation attacks against dense anti-missile networks. Accordingly, they are extremely fast and agile but lack many of the warhead options available to other systems like the Archer.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-encyclopedia-extravaganza|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Encyclopedia Extravaganza|D=01|M=06|Y=2022}} | | Warships usually carry Howler missiles to complement their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s. Howler pods usually carry twenty missiles each. |
