Class-2 medium plasma mortar

"It’s not nearly as powerful as the Wraith’s cannon, and the arc is less pronounced, but the rate of fire is cranked up a few ticks..."

- Bungie

The light plasma mortar is essentially a downscaled version of the plasma mortar mounted on the Covenant Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage. While charging, the plasma possesses a bluish tinge, though it is red when it is fired. The weapon has a less pronounced parabolic arc than its larger cousin, and can fire one round every two to three seconds, unless it is mounted on a Type-52 Troop Carrier or a Type-25 Troop Carrier in which its firing rate is improved to about one shot every second.

The light plasma mortar is seen as the only weapon for the Covenant's Revenant infantry support vehicle, and is also seen as the main gun for the Type-52 Troop Carrier, and the Type-25 Troop Carrier, which were used during the invasion of Reach.
