This article is about the model introduced in Halo 5: Guardians. For the model introduced in Halo: Combat Evolved, see Type-33 fuel rod gun.

Template:Weapon Infobox The Type-58 Light Anti-Armor Weapon, also known as the fuel rod cannon, is a shoulder-fired mortar used by Covenant remnants.[1]

Design details

Created by multi-species workshops on Venezia, the T-58 fuel rod cannon is cheaper, more accurate, and more reliable than the older Type-33 fuel rod gun. The T-58 launcher uses a compact and refined class of fuel rod ammunition that is far safer to manufacture, store, and field.[2][1]

Variants

  • Light of Urs: During the Blooding Years many advances were made in fuel rod technology, the Light of Urs is one of those advances. It fires faster projectiles that do more damage compared to the standard fuel rod cannon. It can lock onto ground and air vehicles.[2] This particular weapon also appears as one of three secret weapons in the mission Genesis.[3]
  • Pool of Radiance: Both the Swords of Sanghelios and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant use once-forbidden, unstable weapons. The Pool of Radiance is one of those weapons. It is an advanced fuel rod cannon with a slower rate of fire but its projectiles are deadlier as they leave dangerous residue upon impact.[2] It can also be found in the mission Reunion.[4]

  • Pool of Radiance.

Gameplay

Changes from Type-33 fuel rod gun in Halo 2: Anniversary

  • Extensive structural changes; reload now involves a speed-loader style cylinder of ammunition rather than a vertically loaded rack.
  • Structure is much more sleek in design.
  • The ammo is now loaded from the back rather than from the top. The ammo mag is also changed from a single line to a circular line.
  • Weapon now can be charged, similar to a Mgalekgolo's assault weapon.
  • Projectile now has longer range before being affected by gravity.
  • Weapon trajectory travels slightly faster than its predecessor.
