A Revenant firing its light plasma mortar.
The light plasma mortar is essentially a downscaled version of the plasma mortar mounted on the Covenant Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage. While charging, the plasma possesses a bluish tinge, though it is red when it is fired. The weapon has a less pronounced parabolic arc than its larger cousin,[1] and can fire one round every two to three seconds, unless it is mounted on a Type-52 Troop Carrier or a Type-25 Troop Carrier in which its firing rate is improved to about one shot every second.[2]
The light plasma mortar is seen as the only weapon for the Covenant's Revenant infantry support vehicle, and is also seen as the main gun for the Type-52 Troop Carrier, and the Type-25 Troop Carrier, which were used during the invasion of Reach.
