The '''fuel rod cannon''' is a [[Covenant]] | The '''fuel rod cannon''' is a vehicle-mounted projectile weapon typically used by the [[Covenant]] and [[Covenant remnant|its remnants]] on a variety of their vehicles, notably including [[Wraith#Covenant AA Wraith|Skyhunter Wraiths]],{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p275}} [[Banshee]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p286}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p287}} and [[Seraph]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p288}} As their name suggests, fuel rod cannons fire [[Fuel rod#Class-3|Class-3 fuel rods]], which have a greater range and a capability to track heat signatures when compared to the Class-2 counterparts loaded in the infantry-portable [[fuel rod gun]].{{Ref/Reuse|evg9}} It is nicknamed '''Big Green Death''' and '''Green Death'''.{{Ref/Reuse|enc11p339}} | ||

Fuel rod cannons, though sharing many properties with the [[Mgalekgolo]]'s [[assault cannon]],{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22p298|Enc22|Page=298}} fire Class-3 fuel rod caseless projectiles, which contain radioactive, highly explosive material encased in a transparent shell.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22p299|Enc22|Page=299}} The Class-3 fuel rods fired by the cannon are larger and more damaging than their Class-2 counterparts, which are intended for armor and infantry on short ranges. For long range or anti-air combat, however, the Class-3 fuel rods are more powerful, have a greater range, and are capable of tracking the heat signatures of vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|evg9}} They are marginally weaker than a [[plasma mortar]], but travel at a higher velocity with a higher accuracy.{{Ref/Reuse|enc11p339}} Variants exists within the fuel rod cannon classification: whereas the variants on Banshees are forward-firing, semi-automatic cannons, the anti-air Wraiths employ rapid-fire fuel rod cannons that a barrage of fuel rods.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p288}} | |||

==Production notes== | |||
*In ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', and ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' multiplayer, [[fuel rod gun]]s are erroneously called fuel rod cannons. Similarly, the [[Phoenix Logs|Phoenix Log]] [[Phoenix Logs/Banished Units/Heavy Grunts|entry]] for [[Heavy|Heavy Grunt]] in ''Halo Wars 2'' also mistakes the {{Pattern|Korva|fuel rod gun}} for a fuel rod cannon. | |||
*In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'' in a similar case to the fuel rod gun if an NPC is flying the vehicle and shoots the ''Banshee Bomb'' and it will have an even stronger lock-on, but yet again when the player attempts this it will lack said feature, however in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' it is possible for the player to use this feature. | |||
