In-game information[edit]
| “ | Better known as the SPNKr, the M41 SSR MAV/AW is a twin-tube, shoulder-mounted launcher that fires explosive rockets.[7][8] | ” |
- Main article: Rocket Launcher
The M41D SPNKr appears in Halo Infinite as the game's iteration of the Rocket Launcher, though unlike previous titles it is simply known as the "M41 SPNKr". 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.
