Forklift
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:New Content Template:Ship The S-2 Traxus Cargo Transporter[1], commonly referred to as the Forklift, is a civilian vehicle used by Traxus Heavy Industries.
Design details
As a cargo transport, the S-2 is simple and utilitarian in design. Powered by propane, it is usually for lifting and transporting crates and boxes.[2] Throughout Halo 3, however, it was never seen doing its duty, as its civilian operators had either evacuated or were killed by the Covenant.
Production notes
In Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, it is a scenery item. It can be found on many levels, both in campaign and multiplayer, and is a Forge object.
Along with other civilian vehicles, the Forklift was made drivable by the player in Halo: Reach. When driven, the Forklift can only travel fast enough to splatter an Unggoy.[3][4] This, coupled with its lack of any kind of defensive capability, makes the vehicle largely useless in gameplay. However, it is extremely explosive and, when positioned properly, can act as a player-placed fusion coil within the campaign - an aspect which can be taken advantage of. The Forklift in Halo: Reach originally had the ability to raise and lower, but it was cut (rather ironically) due to being "crazy and pointless".[3]
Trivia
- The S-2 can be only seen in two campaign levels in Halo 3, Crow's Nest and the Storm.
- A drivable Forklift appears in every campaign level in Halo: Reach.
- It appears in only one Firefight map in Halo: Reach: Courtyard.
