"You sending a vehicle after me? Suckers."
— A Cyclops pilot during the Second Ark Conflict.[3]

The HRUNTING Mark III [S] Exoskeleton is a variant in the long-running line of Cyclops powered exoskeletons, a part of the UNSC's Project: HRUNTING.[1]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The [S] variant of the Cyclops features a refactored exoskeleton and completely original control software written by Serina. It is equipped with a wrist-mounted autocannon that gives it more combat utility in the field, and is generally considered easier and faster to operate even with this weaponry and armour. However, it lacks the raw strength of its combat engineering counterparts.[2]

Development history[edit]

The Mark III [S]' origins lie in various Lethbridge Industrial files present on Arcadia in 2531. The files were "recovered" by Serina, the Smart AI of UNSC Spirit of Fire, during the Battle for Arcadia in that year, and used as a basis for her redesign of existing HRUNTING Mark III (B) Cyclops suits already aboard Spirit of Fire inventory. The design schematics for the Mark III [S] were passed onto Spirit of Fire after Serina's death, and were later used by Isabel as a base on which to improve with modern UNSC cyberlink protocols and module concepts.[1]

Variants[edit]

Operational history[edit]

During the Second Ark Conflict, the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire used modified Cyclopes to combat Banished forces.[3]

In-game information[edit]

Cyclops

  • Info: Anti-Vehicle, Fast moving, Heavy armor, Cannot attack air

Unlike its Halo Wars counterpart, the Cyclops in Halo Wars 2 is an anti-vehicle unit armed with a gun, though it still cannot attack aircraft, and only does okay against structures and poorly against infantry. In addition, the Cyclops is no longer able to repair ground vehicles and structures; this role is instead filled by the Nightingale. The Cyclops can be built at the Barracks by all UNSC leaders.[3] In Blitz, Cyclops cost Blitz Energy 30 energy, Reactive Cyclops cost Blitz Energy 50 energy, and a Veteran Cyclops cost Blitz Energy 70 energy. Morgan Kinsano has her own personal Cyclops equipped with dual M7057 flamethrowers.
