In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' Kodiaks can be built by all UNSC leaders at the [[UNSC Garage]]. Kodiaks are effective against infantry, vehicles, and structures while deployed. They are only able to attack aircraft when not deployed and perform poorly against them. Due to the range of the Kodiak's artillery attack, a spotter is required to designate targets for the cannon. If the player picks [[Ellen Anders/Gameplay#Halo Wars 2|Anders]] as their leader, the Kodiak's shells get an upgrade through the Sentinel Beacon Leader Power, which allows the shells landing to summon a Sentinel to encircle an area. If the player picks [[Serina/Gameplay|Serina]] as a Leader, the Kodiak can be upgraded with Cryo Shells through Cryotech Advances Leader Power, allowing the shells to give a chill effect to the area around it. | In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' Kodiaks can be built by all UNSC leaders at the [[UNSC Garage]].

The Kodiak is a favored unit for the UNSC, especially in Firefight modes, since it is the only unit that can suppress any incoming ground unit from a long range. | The Kodiak is a favored unit for the UNSC, especially in Firefight modes, since it is the only unit that can suppress any incoming ground unit from a long range. | ||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
Following the UNSC tradition of naming vehicles after animals, the M400 is named after the [[Wikipedia:Kodiak bear|Kodiak bear]], the largest species of brown bear native to the Kodiak Archipelago. | *The Kodiak is seemingly based on the cut [[Fox Cannon]] from ''[[Halo Wars]]''. | ||

*The Kodiak is similar to the GDI [[cnc:Rhino|Rhino]] from [[cnc:Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight|''Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight'']], a vehicle which can be deployed into artillery mode. | |||
*In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', the use of UNSC Snipers as spotter to target the Kodiak's shots is similar to the Banished [[Mega Turret]]'s long-range shelling guided by Banished forces acting as spotters. As a result, the Kodiak and Mega Turret play similar roles in the campaign levels ''[[Under the Dark]]'' and ''[[Manifestation]]'' respectively where they, guided by spotters from their respective factions, are used to shell enemy targets at a distance to progress in the level. | |||
