The weapon was designed to be effective against both infantry and vehicle targets. The Hydra is designed to be as easy to operate as a conventional [[rifle]], albeit one that fires gyroscopically stabilized High-Explosive Air Bursting (HEAB) micro-missiles from the weapon's six-chamber, revolving cylinder.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The Hydra's rockets are capable of homing in on targets, though they require a lock-on before doing so.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFLocke|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-locke-load|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Locke & Load|D=08|M=11|Y=2020}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
Highly effective in both close-quarters combat and medium-range engagements, the Hydra can be used in a direct-fire mode, though it is most deadly when using a real-time [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] connection to lock-on and guide missiles to the target. The Hydra's sophisticated automatic targeting and tracking system allows the user to target not only individual infantry, but even distinct parts of enemy vehicles to effect a clean and efficient kill.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | Highly effective in both close-quarters combat and medium-range engagements, the Hydra can be used in a direct-fire mode, though it is most deadly when using a real-time [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] connection to lock-on and guide missiles to the target.
