Highly effective in both close-quarters combat and medium-range engagements, the Hydra can be used in a direct-fire mode | ==Design details== | ||
The MLRS-1 Hydra Gyroc Launcher is the result of decades of development in refining micro-missile technology to create a highly versatile guided missile launcher that can not only operate in a variety of environmental contexts, but also be used against both infantry and vehicle targets. The Hydra is designed to be as easy to operate as a conventional rifle, albeit one that fires gyroscopically stabilized HEAB (High-Explosive Air Bursting) rockets from a six-chamber, rotating cylinder. Highly effective in both close-quarters combat and medium-range engagements, the Hydra can be used in a direct-fire mode though it is most deadly when using a real-time VISR connection to lock-on and guide missiles to the target. The Hydra’s elegant semi-automatic targeting and tracking system allows the user to target not only individual infantry, but even distinct parts of enemy vehicles to effect a clean and efficient kill.<ref name="universe"/> | |||

Though it had entered service in [[2556]], it had yet to see widespread use outside of the Spartan branch by October, [[2558]]. The Hydra had been used in a number of combat roles, including close-quarters infantry engagements, urban pacification, and ship boarding maneuvers.<ref name="universe"/> Hydras were aboard the {{UNSCShip|Argent Moon}} during [[Blue Team]]'s [[Mission to UNSC Argent Moon|mission]] to recover the ship.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''': ''[[Blue Team (level)]]'''</ref> | |||
