Binoculars are a magnifying device universally used by the United Nations Space Command. They're often equipped with a stand to keep the device steady.[1]
Use
Binoculars are generally used to observe the battlefield, gather data and locate enemies. Marine sniper teams have spotters with binoculars to observe and locate targets for the sniper.[1] The UNSC binoculars have a digital display, which shows the temperature, as well as the distance to the target.[2]
MJOLNIR Armor
MJOLNIR Mk VI is the first armor to have Binocular system in-game, though it's been stated in the novels that the earlier versions had one as well.[3] The armor's binoculars are a 3-4x scope set, linked to the helmet's visor. The MJOLNIR armor's binocular system featured in Halo 3 has the same radius as the one in Halo 2. The only difference is that it's more detailed and that it shows distance to the target.[1][4]
Trivia
- The Binocular prop appears frequently in Halo 2.
- The Sangheili Combat Harness also has a binocular system. Otherwise similar to the MJOLNIR's binoculars, it has a slightly different visor shape.
