The M80 Multiple Launch Rocket System,[1] known simply as the Rocket pod turret is a portable turret in use by the UNSC Armed Forces after the Human-Covenant War. It is capable of firing three missiles at once and carries a total of 24 missiles.[2]
Specifications
Designed to replace Covenant War-era designs, the M80 consists of three modules: a central fire control system with integral sensor package and two detachable launcher pods with three ammo cells each. Each cell features an internal reloading mechanism and anti-blast safety features to mitigate injury to the user in the event of damage to the rockets contained within. Relatively light and self-contained, the M80 can be fitted to any vehicle or structure compatible with the older M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System.[1] The M80 is notably mounted on the Rocket Warthog.[3]
Variants
- M80B MLRS: Initially deployed exclusively to elite UNICOM units assigned to Earth, the M80B integrates additional smart-link functionality and datalinks, including the latest specialized protocols used by the Office of Naval Intelligence and NAVSPECWAR.[1]
- ONI Rocket Pod Turret: A variant used by the Office of Naval Intelligence.
Gameplay
Carrying the turret decreases the player's speed and maneuverability.
