M363 sticky detonator
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The M363 Remote Projectile Detonator, colloquially known as the Sticky Detonator, is a single-shot handheld explosive weapon. It is manufactured by Acheron Security and is used by the UNSC Defense Force.[1]
Overview
The M363 RPD is a low-profile single-shot weapon that launches a magnetically latched explosive, which the operator can remotely detonate when at a safe distance. Although previously manufactured in low quantities, this weapon’s size and ease-of-transportability has made it ubiquitous in the years which followed the Human-Covenant War. [2] The weapon has a fold-out screen on the left side which shows a motion tracker display from the view of the fired projectile.[3] Once fired, the projectile activates a strobe light indicating its status.[4]
Trivia
- The weapon first appeared in Halo 4's Awakening announcement trailer, in which John-117 grabs an RPD floating in zero gravity and uses it to blow a piece of debris out of his way while escaping the exploding wreckage of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn.
- The sticky detonator has two melee animations: One is the standard "punch" animation used by similar pistol-like weapons. The other is a "backhand" smack.
- The weapon is referred to as the "Sticky Grenade Launcher" in the multiplayer carnage report.
