The '''Multiple Launch Rocket System-2 Hydra Gyroc Launcher''' ('''MLRS-2 Hydra''') is a weapon in the '''[[Hydra]]''' line of gyroc missile launchers built by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]] and employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} The weapon succeeds the previous [[MLRS-1 Hydra|MLRS-1]] model. | |||

===Design=== | ===Design details=== | ||
As with its predecessor, the [[MLRS-1 Hydra|MLRS-1]], the MLRS-2 Hydra is a semi-automatic missile launcher equipped by infantry forces for use against other infantry and vehicles. The weapon is arranged in a manner similar to a conventional rifle, albeit with a more angular body than its predecessor. The fore of the weapon contains a revolving cylinder which stocks six [[9X-G Gyroc rocket|9X-G High Explosive, Air Bursting (HEAB) gyroscopically-stabilised missiles]]. These missiles can be individually-fired by the operator with a semi-automatic fire mode in either dumb-fire or locked-on to enemies. When locking onto enemies, the weapon's integrated semi-automatic tracking and targeting systems allow the operator to target enemy infantry or individual parts of vehicles for the missiles to home in on.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | |||
Warnings on the body of the MLRS-2 Hydra recommend using only approved UNSC munitions.{{Ref/Site|Id=insideoct2021|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-october-2021|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Inside Infinite - October 2021|D=29|M=10|Y=2021}} | |||
