燃料ロッドキャノンはコヴナントのエネルギー式直接支援火器です、そして同様の原理でより大型高火力のものに対空/対戦車機械搭載型Fuel Rod Gunがあります。Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3そして Halo 3: ODSTの劇中において、様々なコヴナント起動兵器に装備する火器の一つとして登場します。たとえば、バンシーのセカンダリウェポンや対空型レイスのプライマリウェポンがその一部です。
Background[]
燃料ロッドキャノンは、重火器として車両・航空機などによって使われる。 主に、バンシーと対空レイスがこの兵器を使用する。
これは、歩兵の携行式燃料ロッドガンを大型兵器に搭載したバージョンだ。 バンシーに装備されたバージョンは、発射のたびに再装填の必要があったが、事実上無限に搭載されている弾薬によって欠点を補っている。
ハンターのアサルトキャノンも燃料ロッドキャノンのバリエーションの一種だ。
Usage[]
The Fuel Rod Cannon is a mighty powerful weapon, thus vehicles equipped with it are very dangerous especially on higher difficulties. The Banshee in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3 often use the weapon to soften you up before firing it's Plasma Cannons, especially if you are using a Warthog or a Shade. If using a very light vehicle (Ghost or Mongoose) the enemy Banshee may just use its Fuel Rod Cannon, sending you cart-wheeling into the air. It will not bother with its Plasma Cannons, especially if it is in a group of Banshees as they can fire almost continuously. It is possible and desired to avoid the shot entirely, as they often fire it while they are still far away. This is harder in Halo 3, as the shots now partially home in, while in a Banshee/Hornet in Halo 3, shots from an Anti-Air Wraith home in quite fully, but shots from a Banshees only partially home in, as you can see them curving round in the air. In the Halo 2 campaign, enemy Banshees never use the weapon and the issue does not come up.
The AA Wraith's Fuel Rod Cannon's are extremely powerful and can bring down Hornets in just a few shots.
The Fuel Rod Cannon is included in Halo Wars being used as an upgrade for the Covenant turret, if you choose to make it an Anti-Vehicle turret.
Trivia[]
- In Halo 3, on Heroic or Legendary, (although it is rare for one to target a player on the ground) if an Anti-Air Wraith gets a direct hit on the player it will kill him instantly.
