Specifications
Design details
- Main article: Chopper
The Banished Choppers are much in the same vein as their regular and Covenant-era counterparts. They consist of two massive wheels on the front, and a driver located at the vehicle's rear - protected from enemy fire. The flanks of the vehicle leave the driver exposed to enemy fire. The vehicle is equipped with two Spiker autocannons, which in themselves are capable of being upgraded to fire explosive shrapnel rounds.[2]
The front of the vehicle is equipped with heavy armor plating and massive spikes, capable of allowing the vehicle to ram enemy targets and punch through light vehicles such as Warthogs. These blades form the Chopper's namesake, and a reflection of the Brutes' savage culture.[2]
Variants
- Terror Chopper: This variant of the Banished Chopper equips the aforementioned shrapnel rounds alongside an increased mass of armor and ramming spikes.[3]
The Terror Chopper.
Usage
The Banished Chopper variants are extremely coveted and popular vehicles. Troops under Atriox's command often compete with each other to become a Chopper driver in the Banished outrider squadrons, with these competitions resulting in many deaths and injuries among Banished personnel.[2]
Operational history
In March 2559, the Banished used their own modified version of the Chopper during operations against the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire on Installation 00.[4] Blue Team later encountered Choppers deployed by Banished forces on Reach during Operation: WOLFE.[5]
