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.[2]
  • 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. The weapons projectiles leave dangerous residue upon impact.[2]
