"Remember Reach. Mythic Chaingun with high-capacity magazine. Jorge's Chaingun also boosts movement speed and damage resistance. You cannot perform Spartan Abilities while using this weapon."
— In-game description[1]

Etilka was a specially-modified M247H machine gun employed by SPARTAN-II commando Jorge-052.[2]

Overview

Design details

Main article: M247H machine gun

Etilka was a modified M247H HMG employed by Jorge-052. Among his modifications included the removal of the gun shield, replaced with a heat shroud around the barrel, and the addition of yellow paint highlights around the weapon alongside more ergonomic handle placement.[3] This weapon proved the basis of a War Games weapon, modified to fire explosive rounds and grant the wielder in the simulation increased movement speed and damage resistance. This War Games variant retained the visual look of the original weapon wielded by Jorge, with the addition of the "S-052" tag and NOBLE Team emblem. The magazine, however, now has been replaced with a red high capacity magazine.[4]

Service history

Etilka was wielded by SPARTAN-II Jorge-052. He served with the weapon during the Fall of Reach, employing the weapon during a mission to investigate the Visegrád Relay[5] and later the defense of SWORD Base.[6] Jorge would then employ the weapon during the Battle at Szurdok Ridge, using it to hold off Covenant forces so that SPARTAN-B312 could take Spire One offline.[7] The weapon's last actions would come in Operation: UPPER CUT, with Jorge using the weapon inside the captured SDV-class heavy corvette Ardent Prayer to hold off Covenant forces. Following damage taken to the slipspace drive needed for the operation, Jorge would stay behind on the Corvette to manually detonate the engine-turned-bomb and allow B312 to escape. In the ensuing destruction of the CSO-class supercarrier Long Night of Solace, Etilka was likely destroyed.[8]

By 2558, Etilka - alongside many other pieces of equipment employed by NOBLE Team - was the basis of weaponry and equipment being fielded in the War Games simulations used for SPARTAN-IV training.[2]
