The H-165 FOM or Target Locator[1] is a United Nations Space Command piece of equipment. It is a compact, handheld laser pointer designed for acquiring and designating targets for small-scale orbital bombardment from an orbiting UNSC starship.[2][3] While similar in function to the laser designator, the Target Locator is much smaller and can be held with one hand. The Target Locator also has a scope.
The Target Locator appears as a weapon in Halo: Reach. When the trigger is held down for three seconds, a green laser beam marks the targets, and a red circle is projected on the ground around the target area. Once the target has been locked, seven missiles strike the designated area from above, doing a large amount of area damage.[4]
Trivia
- Destroying two vehicles with a single shot from the Target Locator in the third Campaign mission unlocks the Achievement "Two Corpses in One Grave." This achievement's name is reference to a line spoken by the Gravemind and is similar to the Halo 3 Achievement "Two for One."
- The Target Locator is available only in Firefight and Campaign. It does not appear in Matchmaking or Forge, presumably for balancing reasons.
- The Target Locator is the only weapon in the game which will not have infinite ammunition from the infinite ammo selection in custom firefight matches. A detached turret will also not have infinite ammo unless the bottomless clip selection is enabled, unlike the Target locator which will still not have infinite ammo.
- In the E3 Firefight demo, the Target Locator was labeled as the "Laser Designator" when a player picked it up. In the final game, it is labeled as the "Target Locator". Also, the Locator projected a blue circle on the ground when locked on, the color of wich was changed to red in the final game.
- Normally the Target Locator cannot be given to AI allies but it can be glitched into their hands, allowing it to be used limitlessly.[5]
- On the Firefight map Unearthed the Target Locator has 3 shots rather than the usual 2. The Target Locator will also have 3 shots in Campaign if ONI: Sword Base is started from Rally Point Alpha.
