The Pursuit Hydra is a modified variant of the MLRS-2 Hydra gyroc missile launcher used by the UNSC Marine Corps.[2][4]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
- Main article: MLRS-2 Hydra
The Pursuit variant of the Hydra MLRS has increased increased long-range effectiveness than the standard MLRS-2 variant, thanks to the use of more advanced gyroscopically-stabilised rockets with reduced velocity. The weapon's targeting software is also quicker to lock-on to enemies and from further away.[3] It has additional yellow coloration on certain components.[5]
Usage[edit]
The Pursuit Hydra was employed by UNSC forces during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560.[2]
In-game information[edit]
In campaign, the Pursuit Hydra is a legendary weapon awarded to the player in the Forward Operating Base progression system upon reaching 3,000 Valor. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base. I can also be found near the north Gorespike cannon on a small hexagonal pillar 'island' as well as inside the House of Reckoning. It locks onto targets faster and from a further distance. The weapon fires projectiles at reduced velocities, making it more effective at longer ranges.[2]
