| | The '''Multiple Launch Rocket System-2 Hydra''' ('''MLRS-2 Hydra'''),{{Ref/Reuse|Beta}} commonly known simply as the '''Hydra''', is a weapon employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] as part of the "[[Hydra]]" line of weapons manufactured by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]].{{Ref/Reuse|Beta}} The weapon succeeds the previous [[MLRS-1 Hydra|MLRS-1]] model. |
| The '''Multiple Launch Rocket System-2 Hydra Gyroc Launcher''' ('''MLRS-2 Hydra''') is a weapon in the '''[[Hydra]]''' line of gyroc missile launchers built by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]] and employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} The weapon succeeds the previous [[MLRS-1 Hydra|MLRS-1]] model. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | It uses gyroscopically stabilized, high-explosive micro-missiles capable of locking onto enemy targets similar to the [[Covenant]]'s [[Type-52 plasma launcher]].{{Ref/Reuse|Beta}} |
| ===Design details===
| |
| As with its predecessor, the [[MLRS-1 Hydra|MLRS-1]], the MLRS-2 Hydra is a semi-automatic missile launcher equipped by infantry forces for use against other infantry and vehicles. The weapon is arranged in a manner similar to a conventional rifle, albeit with a more angular body than its predecessor. The fore of the weapon contains a revolving cylinder which stocks six [[9X-G Gyroc rocket|9X-G High Explosive, Air Bursting (HEAB) gyroscopically-stabilised missiles]]. These missiles can be individually-fired by the operator with a semi-automatic fire mode in either dumb-fire or locked-on to enemies. When locking onto enemies, the weapon's integrated semi-automatic tracking and targeting systems allow the operator to target enemy infantry or individual parts of vehicles for the missiles to home in on.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

| ===History===
| |
| MLRS-2 Hydra units are either tested or manufactured at the [[Seattle]] [[Seattle Complex|Complex]], [[United Republic of North America]].{{Ref/Reuse|insideoct2021}} Succeeding the MLRS-1 model, the MLRS-2 was in use by UNSC forces by [[2559]]. In this time, it was employed during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]].{{Ref/Game|HINF|Hydra in-game weapon}} While fighting the [[John-117|Master Chief]], the [[Jiralhanae Warlord]] [[Tremonius]] used a Hydra against the Spartan.{{Ref/Level|Id=foundation|HI|Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation}}

| *'''[[Pursuit Hydra]]''': The Pursuit Hydra locks onto targets more quickly and fires projectiles at greater velocities, making it more effective at longer ranges.{{Ref/Site|Id=Support|URL=https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/6882880281364-Halo-Infinite-Weapon-Equipment-and-Vehicle-Inventory-|Site=Halo Support|Page=Halo Infinite Weapon, Equipment, and Vehicle Inventory|D=05|M=05|Y=2023}}
