- "Professional problem solvers demand proximity fusing and dynamic ballistics. Improved Grenade Launcher rounds adjust trajectory after ricochets to maximize lethality. EMP alt-fire is retained."
- — Pro Pipe REQ description.[8]
The Pro Pipe is a specialised variant of Misriah Armory's M319 grenade launcher used by the United Nations Space Command.[9][10]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
- Main article: M319 grenade launcher
The Pro Pipe is identical in most respects to the standard M319 launcher, with its most obvious visual deviation being a blue-white striped paint coating across the weapon. The weapon is equipped with a laser targeter that allows the rounds to adjust their trajectory after firing to improve accuracy, similarly to the behaviour of the Forerunner Z-180 Scattershot.[8][9][10]
Operational history[edit]
In late 2558, Spartan-IVs serving aboard the UNSC Infinity trained with the Pro Pipe in War Games simulations.[7]
In-game information[edit]
Halo 5: Guardians[edit]
The Pro Pipe was introduced into Halo 5: Guardians in the Monitor's Bounty update alongside the standard grenade launcher. It is useable in-game as a Rare REQ variant of the standard launcher that can be used in Warzone at 
energy, or sold for 
100.
Production notes[edit]
The Pro Pipe was not the only Grenade Launcher REQ variant to be developed for inclusion in Halo 5: Guardians' Monitor's Bounty update; an unused variant of the launcher known as the "Grenade Launcher CLUSTER" was kept within the game files. While viewable in Halo 5: Forge via modding, it is unusable in the game itself.[11]
As with the standard grenade launcher, the launcher's projectiles explode upon impact with an enemy - a behaviour inherited from the launcher's mechanics in Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike.
Trivia[edit]
The name "Pro Pipe" is a reference to a common online slang term for a grenade launcher.
