The Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage, more commonly known as the Revenant, is a Covenant Army vehicle that was utilized during the Fall of Reach [1].
Design details
The Revenant is a light infantry support vehicle with driving mechanics similar to those of the Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle. It is armed with a single light plasma mortar, which is essentially a downscaled version of the plasma mortar mounted on the Covenant Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage. The weapon can be fired approximately every two to three seconds by the vehicle's driver. The Revenant is more agile than most vehicles and has the ability to boost, but provides little protection for its occupants. It can carry one passenger in a side seat.[1][2] The Revenant also appears to be a slight deviation from the Covenant's usual design scheme, taking on a more angular, burgundy look as opposed to the more bulbous, purple, blue, and iridescent green designs of other Covenant vehicles.
Trivia
- In folklore, a revenant was a visible ghost or animated corpse that terrorized the living.
- The Revenant's targeting reticule is almost identical to that of the Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon, while its projectile is similar to those of the concussion rifle and the Type-52 Troop Carrier's plasma cannon.
- The revenant is listed as the Type-32 RAV on Bungie.net's career stats section. This is actually the designation of the Ghost.
