| 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. | | The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', also known as the '''Fuel Rod Gun''', is a [[Covenant]] shoulder-mounted indirect-fire mortar weapon launching explosive fuel rods. In [[Halo PC]], this weapon has a failsafe in campaign that destroys it after the wielder is killed, while in multiplayer, it fires 28 rods from a battery and could overheat. In [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]], the battery and overheating was eliminated and instead it fires clips of 5 rods that fly more slowly and arc less. The Fuel Rod Gun is most commonly wielded by [[Unggoy|Grunts]], but in Halo 3, it is the preferred weapon of Brute [[War Chieftain|War Chieftains]]. It is generally not available in Halo 2 and Halo 3 multiplayer. |
|
| |
|
| 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}}
| | ==Design== |
| | | In Halo: Combat Evolved, the Fuel Rod Gun has a purple body and a gray muzzle with a recoil damper. The body and muzzle were changed to a gold color in Halo 2, and it remained this way in Halo 3. In Halo: Combat Evolved, the gun was equipped with a failsafe that destroyed it after the wielder was killed. This almost killed [[Grace-093]]<ref>Halo, First Strike, chapter 20, page 187</ref>. |
| ==Overview==
| |
| ===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. | |
| | |
| 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}}

| ===Ammunition=== | | ===Ammunition=== |
| {{main|Fuel rod}}
| | In Halo PC, the Fuel Rod Gun fires 28 bolts from a form of a battery, similarly to other Covenant weapons. But it overheats after five shots, giving down-time similar to reloading in later games. In Halo 2 and 3, it fires rods from an internal magazine. Rods appear to be fed in belts of five through the top of the weapon. In Halo 3, the rods are equipped with an activation delay that protects the wielder from explosions caused by carelessly firing fuel rods into nearby objects, but rods will detonate if they are fired into enemies at point-blank range. |
| 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=== | | ===Advantages=== |
| 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. | | The Fuel Rod Gun has a larger clip and a greater rate of fire than the [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]], and its rods track slightly and do more damage than [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shot]] grenades. It also has a 2x scope that makes it relatively easy to fire accurately at long range. In Halo 3, it has a safety feature in the form of an activation delay that the Rocket Launcher and Brute Shot lack. In the hands of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and [[Sangheili|Elite]] allies, the Fuel Rod Gun is far more devastating because allies fire the weapon quickly and accurately, even from vehicles, and allies do not consume ammo as they fire. |
|
| |
|
| ===Disadvantages=== | | ===Disadvantages=== |
| 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. | | Rods from the Fuel Rod Gun do less damage and have a smaller explosive radius than rockets from the Rocket Launcher. In addition, both rockets and Brute Shot grenades fly more quickly and arc less than Fuel Rods in both Halo 2 and Halo 3. The large size of the weapon obscures the wielder's peripheral vision. Furthermore, the weapon is not completely safe to use; while it has a safety feature, rods will detonate upon impact with any character or vehicle. In Halo 3, the bright color of the weapon makes the wielder easy to spot, even when the weapon is backpacked. While it is possible to give a Fuel Rod Gun to a Grunt ally in Halo 2, Grunts are very careless and often kill themselves, the player's allies, or the player himself. |

| ==Changes== | | ==Tactics== |
| ===Changes from the unidentified fuel rod in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo 2''===
| | The Fuel Rod Gun is best used against armor at medium range and against enemy positions and gun emplacements at long range. |
| *The Fuel Rod Gun has been redesigned and now has a golden exterior, instead of a purple.
| |
| *The Fuel Rod Gun now fires five rounds from a magazine, rather than a battery.
| |
| *The projectiles arc much less, making the weapon function less like a mortar.
| |
| *There is a new sound effect for the Fuel Rod Gun - more of a 'thumping' effect.
| |
| *The player is now able to wield the Fuel Rod Gun in campaign, but it is not available in multiplayer.
| |
| *The melee attack animation was changed.
| |
|
| |
|
| [[File:Fuelrodcannon.jpg|thumb|A Fuel Rod Gun in ''Halo 3''.]]
| | ===Campaign=== |
| | The Fuel Rod Gun in Halo 2 generally appears only on [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]] and [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]]. On the former, it is best to collect 30 rods and hold it until the fight with Sesa 'Refumee. On the latter, it is best in the hands of Elites. |
|
| |
|
| ===Changes from ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 3''===
| | In Halo 3, the Fuel Rod Gun appears far more frequently. The best thing to do with it is to give it to a Marine, who then rides shotgun. It is very useful against enemy heavy armor and gun emplacements, but it is not effective against light armor and infantry. |
| *The textures of the Fuel Rod Gun have been updated, while keeping the ''Halo 2'' design.
| |
| *The blasts have been weakened to 65% of their previous strength, to compensate for the cannon's large number of rounds per magazine.
| |
| *The color of the shots has changed to darker green.
| |
| *Projectiles are affected by gravity to a higher degree.
| |
| *The sound effects have once again been updated to give the Fuel Rod Gun a deeper sound.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Changes from ''Halo 3'' to ''Halo: Reach''=== | | ===Multiplayer=== |
| * The weapon's shape has been redesigned, sporting a smoother, more rounded appearance. Its coloration remains the same. It bears a slight resemblance to the Covenant [[Kopasa'mada-pattern plasma launcher|plasma launcher]].
| | In Halo PC, the Fuel Rod Gun is best used as a mortar to bombard the enemy base. It has an advantage of being able to hit enemies that are in cover and over hills, a feature otherwise only possible through the use of grenades. If the wielder uses it against vehicles, correct lead is essential. |
| * The explosion from its rounds is more detailed, and with higher contrast to surroundings.
| |
| * It now has a small thermal sight attached to the body, similar to some other weapons like the Spartan Laser and the Focus Rifle.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Changes from ''Halo: Reach'' to ''Halo 4''===
| | In Halo 2 and Halo 3, the Fuel Rod Gun does not appear in multiplayer unless it is added through Forge. |
| *The IR screen has become a lot wider and detailed.
| |
| *The firing sound is deeper.
| |
| *The aiming reticule has been changed to a circular shape.
| |
| *The projectiles are more solid and move faster.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Changes from ''Halo 4'' to ''Halo 2: Anniversary''=== | | ===Advanced=== |
| *Unlike the original ''Halo 2'' version the ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' fuel rod gun is available for use in multiplayer.
| | On "The Broken Path," the Fuel Rod Gun can be used to destroy the two Phantoms: fire four rods into one of the engines, and the Phantom will explode. A wielder using it to combat heavy armor should aim for the engine or the plasma mortar; the Wraith will go down in three shots. Experienced players can use the safety feature to send rods around corners. |
|

| ===Changes for ''Halo Wars 2''=== | | ==[[UNSC]] Remarks== |
| *Fuel Rod Gun does extremely less damage.
| |
| *The Fuel Rod Gun can [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] vehicles and aircraft.
| |
| | |

| {{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]]. | | ===Glitches=== |
| *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 a player wields a Fuel Rod Gun, there is a slightly longer delay between the priming of a grenade and the throwing of 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 a Marine wields a Fuel Rod Gun, the animation is the same as for the Rocket Launcher, which has a slightly different orientation of the front grip. |
| *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> | | *In Halo 2, Grunts react very strongly to receiving Fuel Rod Guns. When they perform their animation, one arm extends through the weapon. |
| | |
| | ===References=== |
| | *With the Juicy Filter enabled, the Fuel Rod Gun appears purple. |
| | |
| | ===Discrepancies=== |
| | *There is a discrepancy about how much the weapon actually weighs. In ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', [[Corporal]] [[Locklear]] had difficulty lifting the gun when he attempted to shoulder it. However, Grunts seem to have no problem hefting the gun around in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', so whether the situation is between the gun's weight or a comparison of [[Unggoy|Grunts']] and [[Marine|Marines']] strengths is unknown. It is strongly believed however, that Grunts are in fact stronger than their size lets on. Also, the model of the Fuel Rod Gun used in Halo: CE and First Strike might have been heavier than the most recent variants, or Locklear never expected the thing to be so heavy. |
