A [[Ballista]] mini-[[MAC]] turret is also fitted, which is powerful . It can be upgraded to fire three shots in rapid secession. The weapon systems are powered by older capacitor banks which replace the slipspace drive, which also removes its faster-than-light capabilities.<ref name="PL"/> | ||

The G81 Condor can be built by all UNSC leaders at the Firebase. As the Super Unit for UNSC, it is able to take on both [[Banished Scarab]]s and [[Retriever Sentinel]]s. It is effective against vehicles, aircraft, and structures, but is only okay against infantry. In [[Blitz]], the Condor costs 300 energy, and is only on the field for 60 seconds. | |||
