“ The war on Sanghelios has led to unprecedented advances in fuel rod technology. Improved Fuel Rod Cannon that fires faster-moving projectiles that do more damage.[2] ”

The Light of Urs is a special variant of the Gespu-pattern fuel rod gun.[2][5]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

Main article: Gespu-pattern fuel rod gun

The Light of Urs, deriving its name from the Urs system, is a named variant of the Gespu-pattern Flak Launcher which fires faster-moving Class-2 fuel rods that can be fired more quickly, can lock on to both ground and air vehicles, and have a larger blast radius. Its chassis is also exactly identical to that of the normal Gespu, although it now features white and red stripes painted around the weapon's main housing, as well as red Covenant glyphs at the top part of the weapon. The weapon is a product of the unprecedented advances fuelled by the conflicts of the Blooding Years.[2][5]

Service history[edit]

In October 2558, Fireteam Osiris and 031 Exuberant Witness found a copy of the weapon next to Kit Pitlimp's corpse and a Covenant data pad housing the last portion of his four-part adventure log in an area on Genesis during their mission to reunite with the SPARTAN-IIs of Blue Team at the Gateway.[6] The weapon was later added to the UNSC Infinity's War Games simulations for use by Spartan-IVs.[4]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 5: Guardians[edit]

The Light of Urs is a special weapon that can be found in the campaign mission Genesis. In the mission, the Light of Urs can be used to take down the various enemies in the mission, namely Promethean Knights, Focus Turrets, Wraiths, and even the Warden Eternals encountered later in the mission. Unloading at least two full magazines on a Warden will severely damage, if not outright kill him.

The Light of Urs is available as a 5 energy Rare REQ granting REQ Points 100 upon being sold. Gameplay-wise, it operates exactly identically to a normal Fuel Rod Cannon except that it fires more quickly, has faster-moving fuel rods with a larger blast radius of 8.60 meters (28.22 ft),[7] and can lock on to enemy vehicles. These upgrades enable players with the Light of Urs to more quickly take down their opponents before they get a chance to react. However, to balance out the effects of its improvements, the Light of Urs deals slightly less damage per fuel rod, although it still deals just enough splash damage to fully drain a Spartan's shields. In addition, the Light of Urs exhibits somewhat weak tracking behavior against vehicles, making Rocket Launchers and Hydra Launchers more viable anti-vehicle choices.[4]

Changes from the Fuel Rod Cannon[edit]

  • Faster rate of fire, up by 80%.
  • Faster projectile velocity, up by 50.45%.
  • Larger blast radius, up by 3.6 m (11.8 ft).
  • Can lock on to both ground and air vehicles.
  • Slightly less damage per hit, although direct hits will still instantly kill a Spartan.
