I've removed most of the trivia on this page, because it's related to the Fuel Rod GUN, not the cannon on the AA Wraith. --[[User talk:Echo11|Echo11]] 07:09, 6 April 2009 (UTC) | I've removed most of the trivia on this page, because it's related to the Fuel Rod GUN, not the cannon on the AA Wraith. --[[User talk:Echo11|Echo11]] 07:09, 6 April 2009 (UTC) | ||
== Fuel Rod Failsafe in Halo PC == | |||
The article currently reads: ". . . as there were fail-safes that made the weapons self-destruct with the force of a Fragmentation Grenade (This is a slight incorrect reference, as a Fragmentation Grenade would have a bigger blast radius. It would be more accurate to say the explosion would have the same force, appearance, and effect as one of its fired bolts)." I have determined exactly what the explosion is using Halo Hacker Tools. I found that it is identical to the explosion of one of the rods (effe: weapons\fuel rod gun\effects\explosion). I have checked this, and I found five dependencies. I looked them up in Halo Mapping Tools: | |||
*jpt!: weapons\fuel rod gun\explosion | |||
**Range: 0.5 - 1.5 (a fragmentation grenade's range is 1.5 to 2.5) | |||
**Damage: 40 - 75% of Master Chief's shields on Normal | |||
**Force: 4 (equal to that of a fragmentation grenade) | |||
*pctl: weapons\fuel rod gun\effects\hunter fuel rod explosion | |||
**The green sparks created by the detonation of the rod | |||
*snd!: sound\sfx\weapons\fuel rod gun\explosion | |||
**The sound of a fuel rod exploding | |||
*jpt!: weapons\frag grenade\shock wave | |||
**Causes the same screen shaking as a fragmentation grenade | |||
*part: effects\particles\lens flare\flare h stealth cannon | |||
**Unknown | |||
To summarize what I found: | |||
*The shield/health damage is slightly over half that of a fragmentation grenade and has about half the range. | |||
*The shake effect is identical to that of a fragmentation grenade. | |||
*The knock-back is identical in magnitude to that of a fragmentation grenade and has about half the range. | |||
Conclusion: <u>The fuel rod gun's failsafe is identical to one of the bolts in force, appearance, and effect.</u> [[User talk:An elite '92|Jora 'Mantak]] 04:07, 9 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
