The Laser Designator is a United Nations Space Command piece of equipment.[1] The designator uses the same butt-stock, pistol grip and main section as the SRS-99D S2 AM Sniper Rifle, with the only difference being the absence of an ammunition magazine and barrel, and the replacement of these with a laser designator and different optical scope.[2]
It was first seen in use during the short video, Halo: Last One Standing, by an injured UNSC Marine Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, S. Hartley, during the Battle of Sector Six. Though injured, he used it to acquire the trajectory information of the John-117's descent through Earth's atmosphere, pinpointing his eventual crash site.
Halo: Reach
- Main article: Halo: Reach
In Halo: Reach, it is revealed that there is a new weapon by the same name. When the trigger is held down for several seconds, a blue circle appears on the ground and large blasts, possibly mortar shells, fall from the sky, doing a large amount of area damage.[3]
Trivia
- The UNSC Laser Designator has a Misriah logo on its stock, a feature retained from its SRS99D-S2 AM roots.
- The Laser Designator could most likely be used by a forward observer to mark out long range targets for air strikes or artillery bombardments.
