Fuel Rod Gun: Difference between revisions

This explosive gun is a requirement for all Spartans and Elites worth their ass. Unlike their Halo counterparts, they don't have failsafes that make them blow up as soon as you drop them. Fuel rod guns are now magazine-fed, and holds five rounds each. Two to three rounds is enough to blow a Hunter to oblivion. The gun fires fairly fast, and reloads at around the same rate as the rocket launcher. Another similarity is that it has a 2X scope. And just look at all the ammo you can carry! Thirty friggin' rounds, man!

The battery is the same one as used by the Plasma pistol/rifle, so it runs out of power fairly quickly, and is subject to overheating. It may also hurt or kill the user if fired at close range. Its accuracy is much like the plasma rifle's, very accurate at cool temperatures but very inaccurate as heat reaches maximum. There are also very few per map (in a map like [[Blood Gulch]] for example there is only one). The huge green projectiles leave a faint green trail which can give away your position, and it obstructs your visibility when carrying it due to its size. Finally, it takes two to three direct hits, as opposed to one with the Rocket Launcher, to kill an opponent.
