Needle cannon: Difference between revisions

The '''Heavy Needler''' is a much larger and more powerful version of the [[Covenant]] [[Needler]] found on certain vehicles and turrets. The Heavy Needler's primary use is to assault vehicles, but it is also quite effective in taking out enemy ground forces. These three foot long needles, like the smaller version's, home on to enemy targets, embed themselves into that target, then detonate, causing devastating damage to the aircraft. In the prologue of ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', the Covenant camp started to fire on [[Fred-104]] and [[Kelly-087]] with the Heavy Needler after the Spartans delivered the nuke into the ship in the stolen [[Banshees]]. [[Joshua-029]] was killed by them. Fred described then as being like regular needles, but about 3 feet long.
