| The '''Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon''' ('''T-33 LAAW'''),<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 325''</ref> colloquially known as the '''fuel rod gun''', is a shoulder-fired mortar/radiation weapon, formerly used by the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]] and now in service with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} It is also sometimes called the '''flak cannon'''<ref>'''Halo: Reach''' Cortana [[Firefight]] dialogue</ref> or '''fuel rod cannon'''<ref>'''Halo 4''' in-game HUD text</ref> though the latter term is usually reserved for [[Fuel rod cannon|vehicle-mounted weapons]] based on the same technology. | | {{Quote|No sooner had I put the Grunt down than [[Fisk]] has got a hold of that bad boy and dumps the whole clip into the column—stickies and everything just cooking off—secondaries like mad!

| | |
| | The '''Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon'''<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fuelrod</ref> or '''Fuel Rod Cannon''' is a [[Covenant]] direct-fire energy weapon with anti-vehicle and anti-air applications. It is featured in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and in ''[[Halo 3]]''. |
| | |
| | It is not to be confused with the [[Fuel Rod Gun]], which is a ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' [[multiplayer]] exclusive [[weapon]]. |
| | |
| | == Description == |
| | |
| | The Fuel Rod Cannon is a Covenant heavy weapon. The Fuel Rod Cannon has no fail-safes (unlike the prior game's [[Fuel Rod Gun]]s), allowing the player to pick up the weapon. It fires bolts of deadly radioactive incendiary gel that explode on impact with targets or surfaces. It is often wielded by [[Heretic Grunt]]s. Unlike many Covenant weapons, the Fuel Rod Cannon fires ammunition in magazines of 5. Up to 25 additional Fuel Rods can be carried for a total of 30 shots. |
| | |
| | Although the existence of the “dead man’s switch” — a mechanism that sabotages the weapon if it is dropped without first engaging a safety — has only been theorized, it would be difficult to believe that every single Unggoy and Sangheili that was killed while using one fired the weapon right at their feet the moment they died. The dead-man's switch was confirmed in one of the Halo novels. |
| | |
| | ==Combat Tactics== |
| | === Advantages === |
| | |
| | The Fuel Rod Cannon fires fairly quickly, and reloads at around the same rate as the [[rocket launcher]] while holding much more ammunition. The Fuel Rod Cannon has a limited lock-on ability; its projectile follows targets in the air. While easy to avoid at long range, the 2x scope of the Cannon can allow for an accurate original blast and increased chance to catch the victim in the explosive radius. |
| | |
| | The high ammo capacity, rate of fire, and damage of the Fuel Rod Cannon makes it a force to be reckoned with. |
| | |
| | In [[Campaign]] mode giving your allies ([[Elites]] especially) the Fuel Rod Cannon gives you a massive advantage over your enemies. On levels like Arbiter and Uprising an Elite with a Fuel Rod Cannon can fire the 5 bolts in quick succession with surprising accuracy. This can easily rip apart a group of foes even on Legendary difficulty. The fact that allies have unlimited ammo makes this valuable as well. This is opposite for giving [[Grunt]] allies the Fuel Rod Cannon, however, due to their lack of shields. The splash damage will kill them very quickly. |
| | |
| | Other advantages include a ricochet effect at wide angles, while firing parallel to a wall the shots can "skip" off. To obtain an effect the angle has to be obtuse and the person firing must near parallel to the targeted wall, this however does not cause the shell to explode but instead sends it off in a new predictable trajectory. You will not be affected by it ricocheting off the ground because its arc will extremely diminish the effect. |
| | |
| | === Disadvantages === |
| | |
| | The Fuel Rod Cannon's energy projectiles are much slower than the rocket launcher's rockets. It also takes from two to four shots to kill a strong adversary. It is still capable of killing a user at short range, but ammo will run dry quickly in [[Legendary]]. The large size of the cannon will also obscure your vision, making it harder to navigate and respond to hostiles. Outside of the level [[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]], where the [[Heretic]] [[Grunts]] make extensive use of the weapon, it is very hard to find, and the weapon is not available in Halo 2 multiplayer due to frame-rate issues. |
| | |
| | == Differences in Halo 3 == |
| | [[Image:Fuel rod gun.jpg|thumb|right|The Fuel Rod Cannon in Halo 2.]] |
| | In Halo 3, the Fuel Rod Cannon's projectile underwent drastic changes. The blasts are weakened to 65% of their previous strength, to compensate for the cannon's large magazine size, fast rate of fire, and the noticeably lessened distance that the rounds fall en route to the target. Also, when fired, projectiles are affected by gravity at a much higher degree and now need time to ignite after being fired from the cannon and failure to give the rounds proper distance to accomplish this will result in a ricochet if a non-enemy surface is struck at an angle. |
| | |
| | In Halo 3 it has a slight homing feature on vehicles and is devastating when used against slow moving tanks. In Campaign, if given to a AI controlled ally they will also get the bonus of the weapon's rounds homing in on enemy foot soldiers. Shots from an enemy's Fuel Rod Cannon will home on you and your allies to a degree. It becomes increasingly difficult to dodge in higher difficulties. It can still get you if you only try to step to the side. |
| | |
| | It is also worth noting that the weapon does not appear by default in any maps nor in [[Matchmaking]], and thus is only seen if placed on a custom map using [[Forge]]. |
| | |
| | == UNSC Remarks == |
| | |
| | “Those things are scary as hell. Ya hear that weird “whump” sound and even if ya see it comin’ yer transfixed—these big green blobs flying at you throwin’ off sparks!” |
| | |
| | “It’s so weird. I don’t know who first called it a fuel rod gun, but it’s kind’a funny. I suppose the projectile is reminiscent of how you might expect to see a nuclear fuel rod depicted in a gee eh cartoon—all glowing green and throwing off sparks.” |
| | |
| | “They’re pretty tricky to handle—first off you gotta get over the fact that there is this glowing, green explosive whatever right next to your head; and it’s not like you can req any more ammo for the damn thing—but you can lay down a whole lot’a hurt in a very short amount of time I’ll tell you what.” |
| | |
| | “[The Type-33s] have more in common with the ballistic weapon on the Banshee than it does with the weapon that the Hunters carry around—well, not carry around, but you know what I mean.” |
| | |
| | “I catch a glimpse of green out of the corner of my eye and then there’s this huge “whoomf” and the ‘hog goes end over end burning with Gaz still at the wheel. I was riding shotty with the em forty-one so I just unlatched and pushed off when we started going up into the air—and there went the ‘hog and Gaz and all our gear cart-wheeling into the ravine.” |
| | |
| | == Hunters' Fuel Rod Beam == |
| | [[Image:Fuel Rod Beam Cannon.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Hunters|Hunter's]] Fuel Rod Beam.]] |
| | [[Image:Fuel Rod Beam Cannon in Action.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Fuel Rod Beam in Action.]] |
| | [[Hunters]] also brandish a variant of the Fuel Rod Cannon. In Halo 2 & 3, these shoot out long beams of energy; the Hunters immense strength nullifies the beams' recoil, allowing for accurate and devastating attacks. In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], their cannons fire explosive bolts like the troop-carried model. In [[Halo: The Flood]], it is revealed that, like all other plasma weapons, the fuel rod gun can overheat. There is no way to take the Hunter's version of the weapon outside of a mod. In [[Halo: Contact Harvest]], it is revealed that the cannons fire incendiary gel, either in bolts or beams, as seen in all the games |
|
| |
|
| The weapon's energetic component has been the subject of nearly three decades of intense [[human]] study. The [[Merchants of Qikost]], the fuel rod gun's current manufacturer, are only able to replicate its manufacture using prehistoric [[Forerunner]] machinery that occasionally requires [[Huragok]] maintenance and has proved nearly impossible to study. Both [[Misriah Armory]] and [[Materials Group]] have acquired the aforementioned Forerunner machinery, but are reluctant to produce potentially dangerous feedstock isotopes.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
| | == Trivia == |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | *In Halo 3, it takes about 8 shots to take down a [[Phantom]] on Normal difficulty. |
| ===Design details===
| |
| [[File:ReachSchematic - FuelRodCannon.png|150px|thumb|left|A blueprint of the fuel rod gun in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.]]
| |
| The fuel rod gun, which was first encountered by UNSC personnel in [[2531]],{{Ref/Site|Id=bnetfuelrodgun|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fuelrod|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|D=31|M=01|Y=2021|LocalArchive=Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present#Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon}} is essentially a man-portable version of the [[fuel rod cannon]] that is mounted on Covenant vehicles - it is a support weapon that is commonly employed in both anti-personnel and anti-vehicle roles. It appears to be recoil-operated and fires 3.8 cm explosive ballistic incendiary gel projectiles, that travel to the target in a parabolic arc.
| |
|
| |
|
| The design of the Fuel Rod Gun is unique, more akin to large ornament than deadly weapon; the barrel of the weapon is long and black covered by thick gold plates that make up the body of the weapon; the ammunition is loaded on the top aft section of the fuel rod gun, and can hold up to 5 ballistic projectiles, which seem to be held together by straps, before needing to be reloaded. Because of the weapon’s visibility it is just as effective as a psychological weapon, it is often the case that soldiers will ignore closer, more obvious targets in order to eliminate a Type-33 and its operator.
| | *In the Halo 2 booklet, the Fuel Rod Cannon is mistakenly labeled Fuel Rod Gun, which was a very similar weapon from ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. Alternately, the weapon was renamed later in development. |
|
| |
|
| The fuel rod gun is unique in the way it operates, its ammunition is placed one on top of the other to form a clip and then is loaded into the weapon; it is unknown what exactly holds the rods together. When the large "trigger" is pulled the weapon ejects the projectile at high speeds. It can be assumed that the instant the projectile leaves the barrel of the weapon, the large flash associated with firing the fuel rod gun destroys the caps that are on each end of the fuel rod projectile. The rods are equipped with an activation delay that protects the wielder from explosions caused by carelessly firing fuel rods into nearby objects, however a fuel rod will detonate if fired into enemies at point-blank range. The fuel rod gun is used by most Covenant infantry; Grunts are commonly seen wielding fuel rod guns, and more rarely, higher ranking Elites and Brutes are seen wielding them. The fuel rod gun is extremely powerful, and as such the Covenant went to great lengths to ensure it does not fall into enemy hands - for much of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the prevalent model of the fuel rod gun was equipped with a fail-safe that activates under certain conditions, either by the user dropping the weapon without first engaging a safety, or if the weapon runs out of ammunition and is not reloaded after a certain amount of time.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', "Chapter 20", ''page 187''</ref> In late [[2552]], models without the failsafe became more commonplace, preventing the weapon from being self-destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|bnetfuelrodgun}}
| | *When you give a Fuel Rod Cannon to a Marine, their animation is the same as if they were holding a Rocket Launcher. If you look closely, their left hand is at an angle, just like holding the Rocket Launcher. |
|
| |
|
| ===Ammunition===
| | *In Halo 2 during Campaign mode (most likely on Legendary), the bolts have a slight homing ability. Only enemies have this ability. If you strafe as the wielder fires upon you, it will turn very slowly into your direction. |
| {{main|Fuel rod}}
| |
| The Covenant fuel rod gun fires radioactive projectiles colloquially termed as "fuel rods". These projectiles have devastating effects on their targets. When the fuel rod impacts an area, or target, it is instantly subjected to temperatures as hot as standard plasma weapons. The fuel rod gun's projectiles use a form of [[incendiary gel]] similar to a [[Mgalekgolo]]'s [[assault cannon]]. Unlike the globs or beams fired by the assault cannon, however, the fuel rods are compressed canisters of the gel approximately 38mm in diameter which explode upon impact.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Advantages===
| | *Sometimes in Halo 3 Forge, when you put the Fuel Rod Cannon on a map, (Mostly High Ground) the weapon will not appear in game. It is unknown why. |
| The fuel rod gun is an extremely devastating weapon in the hands of a skilled infantry unit. The destructive power of the fuel rod gun is so effective that human forces often focus all of their attention on infantry wielding the fuel rod gun. Unsurprisingly, one strike from a fuel rod will instantly kill any light organic target, even one that is heavily armored. Infantry outside of the initial blast zone will be affected by the concussive force of the impact, which is strong enough to send them flying, and the radiation the rods release. Against light-armored vehicles the fuel rod gun is extremely effective as well, with the ability to flip small vehicles in only a few hits if it doesn't destroy them outright. The gun also takes less time to reload than the rocket launcher, can hold more ammo in both the magazine and reserve, has a very slight tracking ability, and a faster rate of fire. In the context of the Halo games, the fuel rods' strength and lethality are compensated for both the sake of gameplay and ratings.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Disadvantages===
| | *In Halo 3 if the shot hits the ground shortly after leaving the gun it will bounce like the Brute Shot from Halo 2. |
| Rods from the fuel rod gun have a smaller explosive radius than the [[M41 rocket launcher]]. In addition, the fuel rods will arc once in flight and lose their accuracy over long distances. The large size of the weapon obscures the wielder's peripheral vision, and it reduces the speed of weaker infantry holding it, because of its significant weight, unless it is a Spartan carrying the weapon, due to their superior strength. The bright color of the weapon makes the wielder easy to spot, even when the weapon is backpacked; the green flash that occurs when the weapon is fired, can also give away the users position. The fuel rods are also extremely slow in flight. As a result, Fuel Rods are particularly weak against most reconnaissance vehicles (Ghosts, Warthogs, Banshees, Brute Choppers, Mongooses) at long range. This is because the intended target will easily dodge the fuel rod. It also lacks the lock-on and destructive capabilities of the ''Halo 2'' rocket launcher or ''Halo 3'' [[missile pod]]. Also, in ''Halo 3'', the fuel rods usually bounce off the ground, missing their intended targets, unless it is a direct hit or you are directly facing the surface, such as walls and even the Scarab's exterior, although very rarely would it ricochet off vehicles and infantry.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| {{Linkbox|gameplay=yes|gallery=yes}}
| |
| *The fuel rod gun's design in ''Halo 2'' is very similar to the ones shown in [[Pre-Xbox Halo]].
| |
| *The fuel rod gun is the only weapon in the trilogy which has a separate animation and timer when throwing a grenade; there is approximately a 0.5 second longer delay before you throw the grenade.
| |
| *When the player gives a fuel rod gun to a marine, their animation is the same as if they were holding a rocket launcher; their left hand is at an angle, just like when they hold a rocket launcher.
| |
| *When an NPC is holding the weapon since ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'' the projectiles will have a rather strong homing towards the objective, however when the player uses it, it will lack said feature.<ref>https://amp.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/bwbxzs/fun_fact_in_halo_3_when_the_ai_use_a_fuel_rod_it/&ved=2ahUKEwi4jPDj46fsAhV5ILcAHaOqCx8QFjANegQICxAB&usg=AOvVaw01v4hZIyHf2fb4BFTthkeE&cshid=1602255825381</ref>
