— Pro Pipe REQ description.[8]

The Pro Pipe is a specialised variant of Misriah Armory's M319 grenade launcher used by the United Nations Space Command.[9][10]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

Main article: M319 grenade launcher

The Pro Pipe is identical in most respects to the standard M319 launcher, with its most obvious visual deviation being a blue-white striped paint coating across the weapon. The weapon is equipped with a laser targeter that allows the rounds to adjust their trajectory after firing to improve accuracy, similarly to the behaviour of the Forerunner Z-180 Scattershot.[8][9][10]

Operational history[edit]

In late 2558, Spartan-IVs serving aboard the UNSC Infinity trained with the Pro Pipe in War Games simulations.[7]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 5: Guardians[edit]

The Pro Pipe was introduced into Halo 5: Guardians in the Monitor's Bounty update alongside the standard grenade launcher. It is useable in-game as a Rare REQ variant of the standard launcher that can be used in Warzone at 4 energy, or sold for REQ Points 100.

Production notes[edit]

The Pro Pipe was not the only Grenade Launcher REQ variant to be developed for inclusion in Halo 5: Guardians' Monitor's Bounty update; an unused variant of the launcher known as the "Grenade Launcher CLUSTER" was kept within the game files. While viewable in Halo 5: Forge via modding, it is unusable in the game itself.[11]

As with the standard grenade launcher, the launcher's projectiles explode upon impact with an enemy - a behaviour inherited from the launcher's mechanics in Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike.

Trivia[edit]

The name "Pro Pipe" is a reference to a common online slang term for a grenade launcher.
