It is a shoulder-mounted infantry-size directed energy weapon, highly unusual for the UNSC, as most of its weaponry is consisted of ballistic metal projectiles. It fires a red laser beam that is similar to the [[Sentinel Beam]], but is much more powerful.<ref>http://forums.xbox.com/7661336/ShowPost.aspx</ref> The resultant beam is very powerful, and can destroy vehicles and infantry upon a hit. | It is a shoulder-mounted infantry-size directed energy weapon, highly unusual for the UNSC, as most of its weaponry is consisted of ballistic metal projectiles.

When the trigger is pulled, a harmless red dot is projected on the target. The laser will then charge for three seconds<ref name="1up">http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3155479</ref> before firing a massive, blood red laser beam that destroys everything in its path. | When the trigger is pulled, a harmless red dot is projected on the target.

The Spartan Laser is equipped with a smart-linked Wyrd III optics suite for increased accuracy. | |||
In ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]], when one gets a kill with the Spartan Laser (on a vehicle or not) a [[sniper medal]] is awarded. This is because the beam that is shot is sniper like and it is very hard to aim and kill with it. | |||
===Laser Beam=== | |||
If the player manages to keep their reticule on their target when the beam fires, the enemy will be killed in one hit. The Galileian "Spartan Laser" can even destroy a vehicle in one hit, possibly making it the usurper of the ''[[Halo 2]]''-era Rocket Launcher in ''[[Halo 3]]''. The beam is also known to have splash damage at its impact point. The weapons has 4 shots before a "recharge" is needed.<ref name="1up"/> | If the player manages to keep their reticule on their target when the beam fires, the enemy will be killed in one hit.

It is powered by a [[BA-53635/PLMD]] non-replacable battery, which is recharged with a [[PP-16979/AM-Sh]] charger. However, UNSC logistics are sufficiently inadequate for the charger to not accompany many W/AV M6 G/GNR units in the field. | |||

*On the map Valhalla the Spartan Laser spawns in the middle of the map much like the rocket launcher does on both Coagulation (Halo 2) and Blood Gulch (Halo 1). This could mean that Laser replaces the rocket launcher and thus, no rocket launchers on the map, unless it becomes similar to Containment (Halo 2 (one of the added on maps)) where there are rocket launchers at the side of the maps, near each base. | *On the map Valhalla the Spartan Laser spawns in the middle of the map much like the rocket launcher does on both Coagulation (Halo 2) and Blood Gulch (Halo 1).
