When the trigger is pulled, the weapon ejects the projectile with a large flash.{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM}} The fuel rod gun is extremely powerful; as such, the Covenant went to great lengths to ensure it does not fall into enemy hands. For much of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the prevalent model of the fuel rod gun—the [[Zasqi-pattern fuel rod gun|''Zasqi''-pattern]]—was equipped with a set of crucial security interlocks that act as a fail-safe that activates under certain conditions,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG77}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11p339}} either by the user dropping the weapon without first engaging a safety, or if the weapon runs out of ammunition and is not reloaded after a certain amount of time.{{Ref/Novel|Id=fs20|FS|Chapter=20}} When the fail-safe activates, any remaining ammunitions within the chamber are detonated by the weapon's breach-pin.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG77}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p299}} By late [[2552]], models without the failsafe became more commonplace, preventing the weapon from being self-destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|enc11p339}}{{Ref/Reuse|bnetfuelrodgun}} The weapon's energetic component has been the subject of nearly three decades of intense [[human]] study.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The [[Merchants of Qikost]], the fuel rod gun's manufacturer in the post-war period,{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG91}}{{Ref/Site|Id=THB09192012|URL=http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/19/The-Halo-Bulletin-91912-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 9.19.12|D=21|M=09|Y=2012}} were only able to replicate its manufacture using prehistoric [[Forerunner]] machinery that occasionally requires [[Huragok]] maintenance and has proved nearly impossible to study.

In the earliest years of the Covenant, the fuel rod gun was a fixture of Covenant infantry.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p298}} The fuel rod gun was first encountered by UNSC personnel in [[2531]],{{Ref/Reuse|EVG77}}{{Ref/Reuse|bnetfuelrodgun}} and classified as a major threat by the UNSC, with its power almost enough to make any marine ignore the weapon's operator and solely focus on the weapon instead.{{Ref/Reuse|enc11p339}} UNSC personnel were also warned that fuel rods are both radioactive and extremely toxic; as such, Spartan were advised to handle fuel rod components only when wearing the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir armor]].{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM}} Due to its success, it was integrated to various vehicles in the form of the similarly named [[fuel rod cannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG91}} Itself being a variant of the [[assault cannon]] commonly fused to the arms of [[Mgalekgolo]] units,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p299}} the fuel rod cannon fired [[Fuel rod#Class-3|Class-3 fuel rods]] instead,{{Ref/Book|Id=evg9|EVG|Page=9}} though it applied the same machine architecture and power systems.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p299}} Originally mass-produced in many and diverse patterns by the [[Assembly Forges]] on [[High Charity]] and [[Enduring Service]], the traditional fuel rod gun was adopted by the Merchants of Qikost after the [[Human-Covenant War]], granting their weapon architects access to a litany of older forms that surfaced during the war and the ages which preceded it. The weapon has seen remarkable superficial changes and design modifications, though very little has changed functionally between pattern types, which is proof of the weapon's steadfast performance in the field.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p299}} After the Human-Covenant War, [[Battle for Sanghelios|the conflict]] on [[Sanghelios]] has led to unprecedented advances in fuel rod technology; it notably led to the creation of the [[Light of Urs]], which fires faster-moving projectiles that do more damage.{{Ref/Reuse|LoU}} Dominant in current arms circulation, the ''Gepsu''-pattern is the most eccentric of all fuel rod gun designs, engineered by cross-species workshops on the human outlaw colony of [[Venezia]]. The pattern's main utility is its remarkably compact size and shape, allowing it to be used by a diversity of species.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p298}} The [[Banished]] created the [[Fuel Rod SPNKr]], which is a heavily modified variant of the standard [[M41D SPNKr]] that fires Venezian-repackaged fuel rod munitions; as such, it is functionally a fuel rod gun despite retaining the SPNKr's chassis and firing mechanism.{{Ref/Site|Id=SU2025|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/spring-update-2025-halo-infinite|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Spring Update <nowiki>|</nowiki> Great Journey|D=01|M=02|Y=2025}}{{Ref/Game|Id=FuelRodSPNKr|HINF|Forge - Fuel Rod SPNKr description|Quote=A heavily modified Banished SPNKr that fires Venezian-repackaged Covenant fuel rod munitions.

The destructive power of the fuel rod gun is so effective that human forces often focus all of their attention on infantry wielding the fuel rod gun. Unsurprisingly, one strike from a fuel rod will instantly kill any light organic target, even one that is heavily armored. Infantry outside of the initial blast zone will be affected by the concussive force of the impact, which is strong enough to send them flying, and the radiation the rods release. Against light-armored vehicles the fuel rod gun is extremely effective as well, with the ability to flip small vehicles in only a few hits if it doesn't destroy them outright. The gun also takes less time to reload than the rocket launcher, can hold more ammo in both the magazine and reserve, has a very slight tracking ability, and a faster rate of fire. In the context of the Halo games, the fuel rods' strength and lethality are compensated for both the sake of gameplay and ratings. ===Disadvantages=== Rods from the fuel rod gun have a smaller explosive radius than the [[M41 rocket launcher]]. In addition, the fuel rods will arc once in flight and lose their accuracy over long distances. The large size of the weapon obscures the wielder's peripheral vision, and it reduces the speed of weaker infantry holding it, because of its significant weight, unless it is a Spartan carrying the weapon, due to their superior strength. The bright color of the weapon makes the wielder easy to spot, even when the weapon is backpacked; the green flash that occurs when the weapon is fired, can also give away the users position. The fuel rods are also extremely slow in flight. As a result, Fuel Rods are particularly weak against most reconnaissance vehicles (Ghosts, Warthogs, Banshees, Brute Choppers, Mongooses) at long range. This is because the intended target will easily dodge the fuel rod. It also lacks the lock-on and destructive capabilities of the ''Halo 2'' rocket launcher or ''Halo 3'' [[missile pod]]. Also, in ''Halo 3'', the fuel rods usually bounce off the ground, missing their intended targets, unless it is a direct hit or you are directly facing the surface, such as walls and even the Scarab's exterior, although very rarely would it ricochet off vehicles and infantry. <!--Content hidden until gameplay page is made ==Changes== ===Changes from the unidentified fuel rod in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo 2''=== *The Fuel Rod Gun has been redesigned and now has a golden exterior, instead of a purple. *The Fuel Rod Gun now fires five rounds from a magazine, rather than a battery. *The projectiles arc much less, making the weapon function less like a mortar. *There is a new sound effect for the Fuel Rod Gun - more of a 'thumping' effect. *The player is now able to wield the Fuel Rod Gun in campaign, but it is not available in multiplayer. *The melee attack animation was changed. [[File:Fuelrodcannon.jpg|thumb|A Fuel Rod Gun in ''Halo 3''.]] ===Changes from ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 3''=== *The textures of the Fuel Rod Gun have been updated, while keeping the ''Halo 2'' design. *The blasts have been weakened to 65% of their previous strength, to compensate for the cannon's large number of rounds per magazine. *The color of the shots has changed to darker green. *Projectiles are affected by gravity to a higher degree. *The sound effects have once again been updated to give the Fuel Rod Gun a deeper sound. ===Changes from ''Halo 3'' to ''Halo: Reach''=== * The weapon's shape has been redesigned, sporting a smoother, more rounded appearance. Its coloration remains the same. It bears a slight resemblance to the Covenant [[Kopasa'mada-pattern plasma launcher|plasma launcher]]. * The explosion from its rounds is more detailed, and with higher contrast to surroundings. * It now has a small thermal sight attached to the body, similar to some other weapons like the Spartan Laser and the Focus Rifle. ===Changes from ''Halo: Reach'' to ''Halo 4''=== *The IR screen has become a lot wider and detailed. *The firing sound is deeper. *The aiming reticule has been changed to a circular shape. *The projectiles are more solid and move faster. ===Changes from ''Halo 4'' to ''Halo 2: Anniversary''=== *Unlike the original ''Halo 2'' version the ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' fuel rod gun is available for use in multiplayer. ===Changes for ''Halo Wars 2''=== *Fuel Rod Gun does extremely less damage. *The Fuel Rod Gun can [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] vehicles and aircraft. --> ==Production notes== *The design of the ''Zasqi''-pattern and the ''Pez'tk''-pattern fuel rod guns were derived from two distinct weapons in [[Pre-Xbox Halo]]: the [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons#Fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]] and the [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons#Flak cannon|flak cannon]], respectively. Both weapons were originally planned for inclusion alongside each other. The fuel rod gun was to fire explosive bolts on a direct path, while the flak cannon was to be a magazine-fed weapon that fires explosive projectiles on a projectile arc. *In ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', fuel rod guns are erroneously called [[fuel rod cannon]]s. Similarly, the [[Phoenix Logs|Phoenix Log]] [[Phoenix Logs/Banished Units/Heavy Grunts|entry]] for [[Heavy|Heavy Grunt]] in ''Halo Wars 2'' also mistakes the {{Pattern|Korva|fuel rod gun}} for a fuel rod cannon. The inconsistency persisted in supplementary media like the ''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' and the ''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'';{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG91}}{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM}} the [[Halo Waypoint]] article for the fuel rod gun also incorrectly identified the weapon as the fuel rod cannon,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}, though the article on [[Wraith]]s correctly stated that the anti-air Wraith employs fuel rod cannons.{{Ref/Site|Id=hwwraith|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/wraith|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Vehicles - Wraith|D=29|M=10|Y=2020}} The distinction between the two fuel rod weapons was deliberately clarified in ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' and the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''. *In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', in a similar case to the fuel rod cannon, fuel rods fired from an NPC's fuel rod gun have an enhanced lock-on ability, which players are unable to access. ==Gallery== {{Linkbox|gameplay=yes|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of Fuel rod guns}} === Concept art and illustrations === <gallery> File:Prototype FuelRodCannon Concept.png|Concept art for the ''Pez'tk''-pattern fuel rod gun in ''[[Halo Legends]]''{{'}} ''[[Prototype]]''.
