- "Professional problem solvers demand proximity fusing and dynamic ballistics. Improved Grenade Launcher rounds adjust trajectory after ricochets to maximize lethality. EMP alt-fire is retained."
- — Pro Pipe REQ description.[8]
The Pro Pipe is a specialised variant of Misriah Armory's M319 grenade launcher used by the United Nations Space Command.[9][10]
OverviewEdit
Design detailsEdit
- Main article: M319 grenade launcher
The Pro Pipe is identical in most respects to the standard M319 launcher, with its most obvious visual deviation being a blue-white striped paint coating across the weapon. The weapon is equipped with a laser targeter that allows the rounds to adjust their trajectory after firing to improve accuracy, similarly to the behaviour of the Forerunner Z-180 Scattershot.[8][9][10]
Operational historyEdit
In late 2558, Spartan-IVs serving aboard the UNSC Infinity trained with the Pro Pipe in War Games simulations.[7]
In-game informationEdit
Halo 5: GuardiansEdit
The Pro Pipe was introduced into Halo 5: Guardians in the Monitor's Bounty update alongside the standard grenade launcher. It is useable in-game as a Rare REQ variant of the standard launcher that can be used in Warzone at 
energy, or sold for 
100.
Production notesEdit
The Pro Pipe was not the only Grenade Launcher REQ variant to be developed for inclusion in Halo 5: Guardians' Monitor's Bounty update; an unused variant of the launcher known as the "Grenade Launcher CLUSTER" was kept within the game files. While viewable in Halo 5: Forge via modding, it is unusable in the game itself.[11]
As with the standard grenade launcher, the launcher's projectiles explode upon impact with an enemy - a behaviour inherited from the launcher's mechanics in Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike.
TriviaEdit
The name "Pro Pipe" is a reference to a common online slang term for a grenade launcher.
