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 .

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. 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 is a visible ghost or animated corpse that terrorizes 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.
• Despite its larger size, the Revenant can maintain the same top speed as a Ghost.
• Interestingly enough, a Revenant, when boosting, will cause a Ghost to explode if hit either head on or from the side; this applies to a Mongoose as well, although the Mongoose will more than likely, when hit, just be sent flying.
• The Revenants gun can be blown off; this is rare, as most damage severe enough to remove the gun is usually enough to cause the Revenant to explode, killing any personell onboard.
• The Enemy AI is capable of swinging the Revenants turret around to target you, even though the front of the vehicle may not be facing you; EMPing a Revenant to go and Hijack it is not reccomended due to this.
• Oddly, despite the Revenant's gun being mounted in a turret, the turret only turns in a limited arc before the whole vehicle turns.
