The M363 RPD is a low-profile single-shot weapon that launches a magnetically latched explosive, which the operator can remotely detonate when at a safe distance. Although previously manufactured in low quantities, this weapon’s size and ease-of-transportability has made it ubiquitous in the years which followed the [[Human-Covenant War]]. <ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/halo4/en-us#!an-epic-universe/ordnance-armor/cbbca9b3-5108-41aa-aa21-9b523de68266 '''Halo 4 Official Site''': ''Ordnance + Armor'']</ref> The weapon has a fold-out screen on the left side which shows a [[motion tracker]] display from the view of the fired projectile.<ref>[http://youtu.be/09f2MKGCrDQ '''E3 War Games Trailer''' ''weapon seen from 0:42-0:44 seconds'']</ref> Once fired, the projectile activates a strobe light indicating its status.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/08/08/The-Halo-Bulletin-8812.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: 8.8.12'']</ref> | The M363 RPD is a low-profile single-shot weapon that launches a magnetically latched explosive, which the operator can remotely detonate when at a safe distance.

== | ==Gameplay== | ||
The Sticky Detonator can be used as a highly effective tactical weapon. While it is not overly effective at straight on engagement, it can be fired onto the floor of heavily trafficked areas, or into vehicles, and then delay-detonated when an enemy appears. This strategy is best used with cloak, or with a faraway teammate (preferably a sniper) to spot when the targets arrive. | The Sticky Detonator can be used as a highly effective tactical weapon.
