The Pursuit Hydra is a modified variant of the MLRS-2 Hydra gyroc missile launcher used by the UNSC Marine Corps.[2][4]
Overview
Design details
- Main article: MLRS-2 Hydra
The Pursuit variant of the Hydra MLRS has increased increased long-range effectiveness than the standard MLRS-2 variant, thanks to the use of more advanced gyroscopically-stabilised rockets with faster velocity. The weapon's targeting software is also quicker to lock-on to enemies.[3] It has additional yellow coloration on certain components.[5]
Usage
The Pursuit Hydra was employed by UNSC forces during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560.[2]
In-game information
Halo Infinite
In campaign, the Pursuit Hydra is a special weapon awarded to the player in the Forward Operating Base progression system upon reaching 3,000 Valor. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base. It has an increased magazine size from 20 to 40, with each round dealing more damage, though it has reduced accuracy via greater bloom. Furthermore, the magnification optics decreased from 2× to 1.4×.[2]
