Most Condors are unarmed, with a multi-sensor package often replacing a Pelican's armaments.

Though in some variants, the D79-TC Pelican's dual [[GAU-53 70mm rotary cannon]]s are retained. Six [[hardpoint]]s are retained on the Condor's wings to allow colonial operators to create custom fire control systems to tie these into the civilian controls.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} During the [[Second Ark Conflict]], the Condor was modified into a [[G81 Condor|gunship]] by [[Isabel]], armed with five twin laser cannons and a Mini-MAC. | ||

*'''D81: Post-War Condor''': Equipped with a more efficient slipspace drive and built from excess [[D79-TC Pelican]] frames, the post-war variant has the upper cockpit either stripped out or converted into VIP seating.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} | *'''D81: Post-War Condor''': Equipped with a more efficient slipspace drive and built from excess [[D79-TC Pelican]] frames, the post-war variant has the upper cockpit either stripped out or converted into VIP seating.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} | ||

*'''[[G81 Condor|G81]]''': The G81 is a designation for unofficial, slow-moving but powerful Condor craft armed with multiple pulse-laser turrets and a light magnetic accelerator cannon – all of which are capable of independently targeting enemy units. The pulse lasers offer a high rate of fire, making the Condor effective against mass units, while the light MAC provides devastating burst damage for hard target elimination. This Condor variant breaks several UNSC weapon regulations.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: The Art of War(s)'']</ref> | *'''[[G81 Condor|G81]]''': The G81 is a designation for unofficial, slow-moving but powerful Condor craft armed with multiple pulse-laser turrets and a light magnetic accelerator cannon – all of which are capable of independently targeting enemy units.

*'''[[U81 Condor|U81]]''': The U81 is an unofficial designation for refit Condors used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] during reconnaissance and surveillance missions. This variant is outwardly indistinguishable from [[civilian]] starships, but the U81 incorporates an advanced electronic warfare suite, an extensive passive sensor array, and a military-grade slipspace drive. This variant is sometimes classed as a "[[Prowler|subprowler]]" due to its covert mission profile, although it lacks passive [[cloaking]] or sensor [[baffler|baffling]] coatings.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} | *'''[[U81 Condor|U81]]''': The U81 is an unofficial designation for refit Condors used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] during reconnaissance and surveillance missions.
