The Deadeye variant's final production run[4] was manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems. It was originally tested in Tribute's ship graveyard in Tribute's northern pole, and was designed for use by experienced Spartan marksmen.TEMPLATE ERROR: Template using invalid/disallowed fields: "sectionlinktext", "section"[5] During the testing the Spartans were placed in zero-gravity to affect long-range combat against exoatmospheric drones hidden among the wreckage.[1]
