| ===Design details=== | | ===Design=== |
| 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}}
| | 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}} Warnings on the body of the MLRS-2 Hydra recommend using only approved UNSC munitions.{{Ref/Site|Id=insideoct2021|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-october-2021|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Inside Infinite - October 2021}} |
