The '''M41B Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle / Assault Weapon''' ('''M41B SSR MAV/AW''' or '''M41B SPNKr''') is a variant of the [[M41 SPNKr]] and a heavy ordnance weapon used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}{{Ref/Site|Id=2016hw|https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/rocket-launcher|Halo Waypoint|Universe: Rocket Launcher|D=13|M=4|Y=2016}} It is manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|M41 SPNKr}}
The M41B SPNKr is a variant of the standard M41 SPNKr. Unlike other variants of the M41, the M41B lacks a smart-linked sight and a trigger guard;{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=156}} it possesses a pistol grip in place of an ergonomic thumbhole stock, resulting in a more skeletal overall appearance. However, the M41B features a 2× magnification optics sight,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} allowing users to fire rockets over long distances without relying on the use of [[smart-linking]].

==Gameplay==
====Changes from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo 2''====
*The weapon has a different firing sound effect.
*The weapon's melee attack and reload speeds are faster.
*Holding the right trigger allows the player to home on vehicles, gun turrets, and [[Sentinel]] [[Enforcer]]s in the campaign.
*Ammunition is indicated in the scope when zoomed in.
*The HUD ammunition indicator illustration is changed.
*The weapon's firepower and splash damage are decreased.

====Changes from ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''====
*The weapon's missiles travel faster.
*The tubing has a metallic silver color rather than a synthetic black finish.
*It lacks the homing feature from ''Halo 2''.
*It has a different firing sound effect.
*The weapon's melee attack and reload speeds are further decreased.
*The HUD ammunition indicator is again changed.

==Production notes==
*The weapon was identified as the M19 SSM rocket launcher in the game manuals of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' as well as in the ''[[Art of Halo 3]]''. It was also referred to in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' as the M19 missile launcher. It was established in ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' that M19 SSM refers to the rocket ammunition while the launcher itself is designated as the M41.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The 2022 edition of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'' further expanded on the designation, giving the M41B designation to the variant first introduced in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}
*On the last [[Coastal Highway|level]] of ''Halo 3: ODST'' there are four rocket launchers with 1000 rockets each for use in ''[[Vidmaster Challenge: Deja Vu]]''. These only appear on the [[Legendary]] difficulty when the [[Halo 3 skulls#Iron|Iron Skull]] is activated. If any player boards a [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]], these rocket launchers will not spawn. These rocket launchers hold a [[tag]] separated from the regular rocket launchers, as they can be picked up even when the player has a rocket launcher holstered as their second weapon, though the two weapons will not share the ammo reserve.
