Visually, the XM820B4 is a [[M820 Scorpion]] hull equipped with a weapon visually identical to the standard [[M990 electrothermal-chemical smoothbore cannon]]. Unlike the M990 and other similar tank guns, the Hannibal Scorpion platform is a test bed for vehicle-equipped [[directed energy weapon]]s. The main turret of the Scorpion fires a [[M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Laser]]-like [[laser]], while the hull-mounted machine gun nest is equipped with a rapid-firing [[gauss]] repeater turret similar to that equipped by the [[Hannibal Mantis]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF}} Additionally, the Hannibal Scorpion also has a higher movement speed both forward and in reverse than standard M820s.{{Ref/Reuse|Analysis}}

When firing its laser cannon, the laser has a charge-up time of 0.6 seconds and a cooldown of 2.75 seconds. When charging, several lights around the turret begin to glow and electrical energy coalesces around the barrel until the shot is discharged. At this point, the cannon's (usual) autoloader moves back to eject steam, presumably for cooling down the cannon. The explosion generated by the laser's impact on a surface resembles that of gauss weaponry, with a blue explosion and sparks emitted from the impact site. The gauss turret is capable of firing at a rate of six shots per second, and capable of firing for up to 3.75 seconds on fully automatic before needing to cool down for 1.95 seconds.{{Ref/Site|RefName=Analysis|URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrX_kE-EIWE|SiteName=YouTube|PageName=Halo 5 - Hannibal Scorpion vs ONI Scorpion Full Analysis
