==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
===Design details=== | ===Design details=== | ||
The | The Brute Shot has a rather peculiar design, as the user carries it low, rather than using the hilt or handle of a weapon. It has a fast firing rate for a grenade launcher; capable of firing four grenades in about three seconds. Like the other Brute weapons, it has a blade slung onto its bottom to use for devastating melee attacks. The Brute Shot can hold up to 6 rounds, with 12 rounds in reserve. | ||
===Ammunition=== | ===Ammunition=== | ||
It seems to be compatible with two clips: a four-grenade belt that fires projectiles that bounce and arc downwards and a six-grenade belt that fires propelled grenades in a straight line that detonates after three seconds. The four-grenade clip type fires a type of grenade similar to the [[frag grenade]], that bounces off of and around most surfaces. It was first encountered during the [[Battle of Trove]], where it was used to a deadly effect against the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. The grenades seem to be [[Wikipedia:Belt (firearm)|belt fed]] through the top of the weapon. The splash damage from this weapon is rather high. It features a sharply curved bayonet on its underside, which is used as a powerful [[melee]] weapon. This blade delivers a higher-than-normal amount of melee damage. | |||
==Variants== | ==Variants== | ||
There are two recorded variants of the Type-25 Brute Shot. Both models share many components and it is unclear if the [[Jiralhanae]] make any distinction between the two variants or if they simply used whichever model is at hand.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | |||
*'''Type-25 Grenade Launcher''': | *'''Type-25 Grenade Launcher''': Also known as the '''Jovokada Workshop Death Lobber''', the standard model of the Type-25 Brute Launcher is belt-fed with four grenades. These grenades are primed on impact, which allows them to ricochet off angled surfaces.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | ||
*'''Type-25B Grenade Launcher''': This variant is a simplified model that is better suited for mass production. The Type-25B can hold six grenades in an internal magazine. The model's grenades are cheaply-made and explode on impact.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | *'''Type-25B Grenade Launcher''': This variant is a simplified model that is better suited for mass production.

In ''[[Halo 2]]'', the | In ''[[Halo 2]]'', the grenades from the Brute Shot can bounce around corners. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Brute Shots can't bounce off walls and they explode on impact. The melee attack on the Brute Shot is very deadly, depleting [[shields]] with one hit. The Brute Shot is very hard to aim, as it sometimes drifts. In ''Halo 3'', its fired grenades have a 3-second fuse that causes them to detonate after a certain range. | ||

* | *It is referred to as the "Brute Gun" in ''Halo Wars''. | ||
* | *In ''Halo 2'', Brute Shot projectiles fired directly upward will return to the ground after a while. Skilled players can use this as a mortar to flush enemies out of cover. | ||
*In ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', [[Frederic-104]] calls the | *The ''Halo 3'' Brute Shot functions very similar to a modern grenade launcher; the projectiles explode after several seconds without impacting anything. | ||
*In ''Halo | *Spartans, ODSTs, and Elites hold the Brute Shot with their second hand on top as if it was a [[Support Weapons|Support Weapon]], Brutes hold on to the bar under the muzzle, and Flood Combat Forms are able to wield Brute Shots with one hand. | ||
*In both ''Halo: Spartan Assault'' and ''Halo: Spartan Strike'', the | *With skill and some luck, the Brute Shot bayonet can parry [[Energy Sword]] lunges if you press the melee button at the correct time. This makes it one of the best weapons to parry a blow from the Energy Sword. | ||
*In ''Halo 2 Anniversary'' | *No matter how many grenades are spent, when you reload (in both ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3''), the animation always shows you reloading a full belt of grenades. | ||
*In ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', [[Frederic-104]] calls the Brute shot an RPG ([[Rocket-propelled grenade]]). This is untrue due to the fact that the Brute Shot grenade is not propelled by a rocket; It is shot out of the weapon with extreme force, more akin to a recoilless rifle, which uses a charge to force the shot out of the weapon. | |||
*In both ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' Elite allies will usually react favorably when given a Brute Shot, despite the weapon being of Brute origin. | |||
*In both ''Halo: Spartan Assault'' and ''Halo: Spartan Strike'', the Brute Shot is wielded exclusively by [[Jiralhanae Jumper|Jump pack Brutes]]. When used by the player, the ammo capacity is capped at 9. | |||
*In ''Halo 2 Anniversary'' Multiplayer, the Brute shot projectile is using the SPNKr Rocket Launcher model projectile that you can see in Theater mode. It may have been a placeholder by mistake. [https://www.halopedia.org/File:Brute_Shot_Projectile.png] | |||
*The blade and the stock of the Brute Shot are also found on the [[Sicatt Workshop shock rifle|Shock Rifle]]. | |||
