Paegaas Workshop Spiker: Difference between revisions

Line 87:

*In campaign mode, if a [[Phantom]] is shot down and a Heavy Grunt survives from it, they will often have a Spiker as its weapon, and in which case will not shoot at you.

*Brutes use it as a pistol but it is referred to as a rifle, as the retired soldiers in the video "Enemy Weapon" called it a "spike rifle." However [[Sergeant Johnson]] called it a "heavy pistol" in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''.

*In ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', it is shown that the bayonets on the ~~spike rifle~~ are fully functional in combat: [[Tartarus]] first uses the blades to impale [[Captain Ponder]] while buying time for the citizens of [[Harvest]] to escape, and later during his ritual combat with [[Maccabeus]].

*The Spiker's ability to ricochet makes it one of the easiest non-explosive suicidal guns in the game. All you have to do is deflect the spikes at a hard surface such as a wall so that it hits your armor and fire until death.

* The projectiles fired by the Type-25 are 1 foot (30cm) in length and are longer than the weapon's magazine. The material that each round is made from is porous in nature, and may be under compression. They may be made in a way that when they are heated, forced forward, and released, molded in the shape of a spike once they come out of the gun's barrel. They then expand and lengthen to 1 foot (30cm) once they strike their target.

Line 93:

*Oddly, while other solid projectiles are deflected, the spikes from a Spiker will lodge themselves into a Jackal's energy shield, but will not hurt the Jackal.

*Unlike the [[Plasma Rifle]], the muzzle flash only comes from one location, while it appears to have 2 barrels.

*Brutes in ''Halo: Reach'' now wield the ~~spike rifle~~ with two hands.

*Brutes in ''Halo: Reach'' now wield the Spiker with two hands.

*The ~~spike rifle~~ has orange lights in Halo:Reach instead of blue.

*The Spiker has orange lights in Halo: Reach instead of blue.

*Despite the weight of a ~~spike rifle~~, which seems to be too much for a normal human to hold well enough to fire with just one hand, [[Prophet of Truth|The Prophet of Truth]] is seen holding one with only one hand in the level [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]. This is odd, because he, like all [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] is exceedingly frail. However, he is only seen holding it with one hand after he killed [[Miranda Keyes]], so it is possible that he fired the weapon with both hands.
