The '''M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle''' ('''M12G1 LAAV'''), commonly known as the '''Gauss Warthog''', is a [[United Nations Space Command]] ground vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC241}} The M12G1 is a variant of the [[M12 Warthog|M12 Warthog FAV]] armed with a mounted [[Wikipedia:Coilgun|Gauss cannon]], with the [[M68 Gauss cannon|M68]] serving as standard during the [[Human-Covenant War]] and the [[M70 Gauss cannon|M70]] coming into use in the following years.


==Overview==
The '''M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle''' (abbreviated '''M12G1 LAAV'''), more commonly known as the '''Gauss Warthog''', or ''Gauss 'Hog'', is a [[United Nations Space Command]] ground [[vehicle]].
===Design details===
The M12G1 LAAV is one of the UNSC's anti-armor vehicles. It is primarily designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles such as the [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper]] and {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}, but can also be a threat to {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}s. The Gauss Warthog is almost exactly the same in every detail to the [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]] except that it is equipped with a mounted M68 Gauss Cannon, which fires a 25mm hypersonic projectile by means of magnetic acceleration. It takes about a half a second to recharge between cannon shots. Although it appears more rarely than the standard Warthog, its capabilities make it a fearsome, agile and powerful vehicle to use.


===Usage===
It is a variant of the [[Warthog]] series of vehicle, but is much less common than the ubiquitous [[Warthog|M12 Warthog LRV]]. So far it is seen only in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'', and is never referred to in any of the Halo novels, suggesting that it is a very recently developed model. However, it does appear in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', so this doesn't seem to be the case. It could be that the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|''Pillar of Autumn'']] didn't carry one to the Battle of [[Installation 04]], or that they deployed one and never got it back.
Gauss Warthogs are typically employed by the UNSC Army and UNSC Marine Corps, serving primarily in an anti-tank/ anti-armor role during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|gaussreq}} During the conflict, Gauss-equipped Warthogs were able to use rugged terrain to its advantage to pick off Covenant vehicles, whose propulsion drives were slowed by foliage.<ref name="woodland">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Woodland Gauss Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> However, Gauss vehicles assigned to more remote outposts would additionally be expected to serve in an anti-aircraft role, and the driver and gunner team would drill for both tasks.<ref name="tundra">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Tundra Gauss Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> Specialised Gauss Warthogs are also employed by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]],{{Ref/Reuse|oni}} who developed and tested prototype Gauss technology during the [[Requiem Campaign]].<ref name="CF">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-a-time-to-give-tanks '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder 10/8/2015: Issue 45 A Time to Give Tanks'']</ref>


Outside of the UNSC, some corporate entities such as the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]] have been permitted to purchase Gauss Warthogs - among other milspec equipment - for defense against dangerous megafauna on alien worlds. However, these vehicles often end up deployed for riot suppression against crowds.<ref name="corp">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Corp Gauss Warthog REQ description]]''</ref>
== Overview ==


==Operational history==
The M12G1 Warthog is almost exactly the same in every detail to the standard [[M12 Warthog LRV]], except that the [[LAAG]] on the back has been replaced with a [[M68 Gauss Cannon]]. The Gauss Cannon is an anti-vehicular weapon based on the technology of the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] and the [[M99 Special Application Scoped Rifle]], and it fires 25mm hypersonic speed projectiles by asynchronous magnetic acceleration in the base of the cannon. It takes about a half a second to recharge between shots, and has unlimited ammunition, which can be a good asset on the field.
Numerous Gauss Warthogs were used by the UNSC during the [[Harvest Campaign]]. [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] used a Gauss Warthog during the battles of [[Battle of Arcadia|Arcadia]] and the [[Battle of the Trove|Etran Harborage]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', [[campaign]] level ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref>


In the opening actions of the [[Fall of Reach]] in July [[2552]], [[Noble Team]] members [[Catherine-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] drove a Gauss Warthog when returning to [[Sword Base]] after clearing out [[Covenant]] hostiles in Sword Base's outposts [[Airview Base]] and [[Farragut Station]]. They used the Warthog to destroy a number of [[Rizvum-pattern Revenant|Revenants]] and other troops guarding the gate of the base.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref>
==Applications ==
In ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' alike, the vehicle is primarily used in its suggested capacity: a light anti-armor vehicle, designed to quickly and efficiently defeat light to medium armored vehicles such as the [[Chopper]] and [[Ghost]]. Its cannon is powerful, destroying light vehicles in a one or two shots (depending on where the shell hits) and tanks in four or five. Its mobility and maneuverability, at the same time, make it difficult for a tank's ponderous guns to successfully track the intended target. This, in addition to its ability to kill infantry in a single shot, gives it a unique influence on the shape of [[multiplayer]] combat.


During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Stacker]] drove a Gauss Warthog and offered it to [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] in [[Kilindini Park Cultural Center]], [[New Mombasa]]. John-117 used Stacker's Warthog to fight his way through Covenant heavy [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|armor]] and reach a [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] command post in [[Sector B]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> As the Battle of Mombasa drew to a close, [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] [[Edward Buck]] and [[the Rookie]] commandeered a Gauss Warthog on the [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway|city's Waterfront Highway]] in order to cover Captain [[Veronica Dare]]'s commandeered [[Olifant]] that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|intelligence officer]] was using to escort an [[Quick to Adjust|important asset]] out of the city.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level ''[[Coastal Highway]]''</ref>
==Appearances==
[[Image:Warthog gauss.jpg|right|thumb|150px|The [[M12G1 Warthog LAAV|Gauss Warthog]] in Halo 2.]]
Although the Gauss Warthog was featured in ''Halo 2'', the only official level in which you will be offered a Gauss Warthog is [[Metropolis]]. You can find one late in the level [[Quarantine Zone (Level|Quarantine Zone]], but since you are probably alone by then, it is of little use unless in Co-op or if there's an Elite ally with you. In ''Halo 3'', it is featured on the levels [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]] and [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]. They seldom appear by default on multiplayer maps; in ''Halo 2'', they were only found on [[Zanzibar]] and [[Headlong]]. In ''Halo 3'', in Matchmaking, they are found on modified variants of [[Standoff (Level)|Standoff]] and [[Sandtrap (Level)|Sandtrap]], called "Standoff Heavy" and "Sandtrap Heavy". However, by default it does not appear on any Halo 3 maps, but can be added in [[Forge]] on a few large maps.


During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], UNSC Marine forces [[Battle of the Quarantine Zone|assaulting]] the [[Installation 05]] [[Library]] deployed a Gauss Warthog along with many other vehicles to battle the [[Flood]] forms in the [[Quarantine Zone]]. They were either killed or infected by the Flood, as the Warthog was under the control of several [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] by the time [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee and his [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations]] team passed through the area. The Warthog, along with many other Flood-controlled vehicles were destroyed by the Covenant team as they made their way towards the Library.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Quarantine Zone]]''</ref>
The Gauss Warthog also appears in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' as the final upgrade to the standard Warthog, replacing it's previous [[M41 LAAG]] at a cost of 800 resource units and a minimum technological requirement of three power units. The result is a dramatic increase in combat capability versus vehicles and also to a slightly lesser extent, infantry.<ref>''Gamepro'' #238 pp50</ref>


During the [[Battle of Installation 00|final battle]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Marines from the [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|''Forward Unto Dawn'']] utilized a Gauss Warthog during their push to secure [[Installation 00]]'s [[Cartographer]]. The Gauss Warthog was offered to John-117 by [[Private First Class|PFC]] [[Chips Dubbo]]. The Spartan and Dubbo used the Warthog to aid a trio of [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion]] tanks in destroying a large contingent of [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]] and other Covenant units guarding the Cartographer building. The Warthog also helped John-117 destroy a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] that entered the battle shortly afterwards.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref> Another Gauss Warthog was dropped by a [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]] to support the UNSC forces [[Battle of the Citadel|attacking the Citadel]]. Many more aided the Master Chief during his battle against a pair of Scarabs that were dropped in from orbit in front of the Citadel by the Covenant.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>
==Strategy and Counter-Strategy==
===Multiplayer Strategy===
The Gauss Warthog is very effective against light to medium vehicles, armor, and even infantry, but tends to be ineffective against tanks, as it takes multiple direct hits to kill the driver and even more hits to destroy the tank itself. In general, it is advisable to circle the tank to be destroyed, driving erratically but smoothly, so as to both avoid fire from the tank and hit it more accurately in the cockpit and driver's seat. Beware of the tank's anti-infantry gunner, who will likely be more able to target the fast-moving Gauss Warthog than the pilot. Be especially careful of [[Ghosts]], as they can strafe quickly enough to avoid the Gauss cannon and do fatal damage in just seconds. Despite it being a light anti armor vehicle meant for taking out [[Ghosts]], [[Choppers]], even [[Banshees]], it is extremely powerful against infantry as it is a one-hit-kill on them. Even though it doesn't have a zoom feature, the reticule is accurate enough that you can pick off infantry with it at medium to long range, with satisfying effect. If you are playing solo, drive the Warthog to a high, elevated position or a location far away from action but with a straight line of fire if you're just using it as a turret, watch out for [[Spartan Lasers]] and [[Rocket Launchers]]. Such usage can be demonstrated on hilly maps like [[Standoff]] and [[Sandtrap]]. It is also extremely useful in blocking [[teleporters]] because when the turret is manned you can block both the sender and a receiver [[teleporter]].


In July [[2557]], during the [[Battle of Requiem|initial battle]] on [[Requiem]], several Gauss Warthogs were deployed to engage [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] ground forces. Several were attached to Gypsy Company, and John-117 used one during his defense of the Mammoth assigned to destroy the Forerunner particle cannons guarding the gravity well holding the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} within the planet.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref> Upon the ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s return to Requiem later in [[2558]], more Gauss Hogs were deployed to the interior of Requiem to aid in the removal of Covenant forces. Several were used by [[Fireteam Crimson]] during their missions, including the clearing of the location known as Quarry and the defense of Cauldron Base.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Spartan Ops]]''</ref> During the campaign, several prototype Gauss Warthogs sporting new and classified weaponry were deployed by ONI in classified operations for the purpose of field-testing.{{Ref/Reuse|CF}}
The [[Warthog]] is probably the best vehicle to use for a infection game as long as the zombies have melee weapons, such as Energy Swords or Gravity Hammers only. It is also hard to get close enough to hijack it. Skilled gunners can easily achieve a [[killionaire]] while manning this powerful force.
[[Image:Gaussshot.jpg|thumb|left|A close up of a Gauss Warthog's projectile mid-flight.]]


On October 25, [[2558]], during the [[Battle of Meridian (2558)|Battle of Meridian]], [[Fireteam Osiris]] used a Corp Gauss Warthog to combat [[Promethean]] forces while attempting to return to their [[D79-TC Pelican]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level ''[[Evacuation]]''</ref>
===Multiplayer Counter strategy===
The ''best'' way to stop the Gauss Warthog is also the best way to stop most vehicles: get a bigger gun. The Spartan Laser and [[Missile Pod]] are especially effective, but the Rocket Launcher, [[Fuel Rod Gun]] and [[Brute Shot]] are also effective if used properly. Using vehicles, especially tanks, against a Gauss Hog may be either an excellent idea or a bad one. In open space, the superior firepower and durability of the tank will triumph over the Gauss Hog; in closer quarters or areas with lots of cover, the Hog may be able to evade the tank's fire long enough to do lethal damage. Approaching a Gauss Warthog in any light vehicle besides another Gauss Warthog is nothing short of suicide. One or two shots will eliminate the vehicle and kill all those on board, unless the driver or gunner is already severely distracted. If you must fight a Gauss Warthog on foot, take care that you do not forget to use cover. The Gauss Warthog fires slowly but accurately, meaning that a proper and ample use of the environment as protection may spare your life long enough to land a killing shot. White-eyed snipers should quickly eliminate the pesky player on its gun to remove this dangerous threat immediately. Another way is to try to get into the Gauss Warthog's path and stick a [[Plasma Grenade]] onto it, before getting splattered by the vehicle or killed by the cannon. If a player tries to stick the vehicle with the cannon facing towards him/her, it is best advised that they do some evasive moves (Jumping left to right) since the Gauss Warthog is a bit inaccurate at medium distances.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the [[E3]] 2000 ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' [[Halo E3 2000 Trailer|trailer]], a Warthog was shown featuring a turret similar in appearance to the ''Halo 2'' Gauss turret.
*The projectile beam from the [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' is green; however, in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the beam is blue.  
*In the ''Halo Wars'' campaign, [[John Forge|Sergeant Forge's]] Warthog will always be an M12G1, regardless of whether the player has researched the Gauss cannon.
*It is possible to knock a [[Deployable Lookout Tower]] off its anti-grav base by shooting it with the Gauss Hog's cannon shot.  
*During the ''Halo 2'' [[Halo 2 E3 Demo|E3 Demo]], the Gauss cannon of the Gauss Warthog was shooting at a fairly rapid speed. In an early beta multiplayer phase, however, the Gauss cannon had been slowed down considerably. It was later revamped to its original rate of fire during the game's final stages.{{Citation needed}}
*During the ''Halo 2'' demo trailer, the Gauss was shooting at a fairly decent speed. In an early beta multiplayer phase, however, the Gauss seemed to be slowed down and also seemed to have lost all of its hype. It was later revamped to its original rate of fire during the game's final stages.
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the Gauss cannon is capable of shooting through all Forged objects in the [[multiplayer]] map [[Forge World]].
*In the E3 2000 ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' trailer a Warthog had a turret similar to the ''Halo 2'' Gauss turret, due to the fact it was originally part of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', but just like many other things, it was cut and dropped but then reappeared in ''Halo 2''.
 
*Ferrex said in a [http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=27004812 thread], "While the Warthog Gauss rifle is modeled as a magnetic acceleration cannon, the sound and effects are actually those of a railgun, which operates on a different principle. However, the sound and effects were so cool that we couldn't not use them." Although the man pulled a Shakespeare by describing something as itself, and real railguns just make an incredibly loud snapping sound when fired.

*Although the Gauss Warthog does not appear on any Halo 3 multiplayer maps by default, in [[Matchmaking]] it does appear on the "Heavy" variants of [[Sandtrap (Level)|Sandtrap]] and [[Standoff (Level)|Standoff]]
<gallery>
*In ''Halo 3'',  when you get in a gunner position of a vehicle, you are supposed to have your weapon on your back. When you're on the Gauss turret, you have no weapon on your back whatsoever.
File:H2-M12G1-GaussHog.png|The Gauss Warthog in ''[[Halo 2]]''.
*There are no Gauss Warthog spawns in any untouched map in ''Halo 3''. Forge and certain "heavy" maps can make it useful to have this vehicle.
