The ''Rizvum'' is a one of a number of examples identified as part of the '''[[Revenant]]''' line of light vehicles, other examples including the {{Pattern|Phelent|Revenant|"scout" Revenant}}.{{Ref/Book|Id=ScoutRev|Enc22|Page=273}}
The '''Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage''', more commonly known as the '''Revenant''', is a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant Army|Army]] vehicle that was utilized during the [[Fall of Reach]].<ref name="IGN">[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/110/1107237p2.html '''IGN''' - ''SDCC 10: Halo: Reach's Huge Forge World'']</ref>


==Design details==
==Overview==
The Revenant is a light infantry support vehicle with driving mechanics similar to those of the [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle]]. It is armed with a single [[light plasma mortar]], which is essentially a downscaled version of the [[plasma mortar]] mounted on the Covenant [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage]]. The weapon can be fired approximately every two to three seconds by the vehicle's driver. The Revenant is more agile than most vehicles and has the ability to boost, but provides little protection for its occupants. It can carry one passenger in a side seat.<ref name="IGN"/><ref name="BWU"/> The Revenant also appears to be a slight deviation from the Covenant's usual design scheme, taking on a more angular, burgundy look as opposed to the more bulbous, purple, blue, and iridescent green designs of other Covenant vehicles.
===Design details===
The ''Rizvum'' is a lightly armored vehicle that is designed to provide artillery support for infantry forces. It is manufactured by the [[Merchants of Qikost]], who derived the design from a primitive [[Sangheili]] vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The original design of the Revenant was produced as a utility vehicle for Sangheili frontiersmen who traveled the vast wilderness of [[Qikost]]'s hunting preserves. However, because the line between civilian and military application is thin on [[Sanghelios]] and other [[Sangheili colonies]], it was easily modified into a military vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Due to its sleek contours, speed, and sturdiness, it is a well renowned product of the Covenant's private manufacturing sector. This stands in contrast to most [[Covenant military]] vehicles, which are designed and manufactured ''en masse'' by the [[Assembly Forges]]. The driver is seated in the vehicle's left seat, while a passenger can "ride shotgun" in the right seat, similar to the jumpseats on the Spectre.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The driver and the passenger are highly exposed—either due to a vestigial attribute of the Revenant's original design or due to a Sangheili effort to display fearlessness.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} However, the Revenant's speed and firepower compensate for this relative lack of safety.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Regardless, adept pilots keep their Revenant out of sight and use its mortar to indirectly attack enemies who are hidden behind cover.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}


==Tips==
The Revenant holds a niche between the [[Ghost]] and the [[Wraith]], a "functional gap" that has been filled many times during the Covenant's history, usually by infantry support vehicles such as the [[Spectre]] and the [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler|Prowler]]. It has traditionally been considered the most successful vehicle in this regard. Unlike the former vehicles, however, the Revenant is designed to provide fire support rather than direct force deployment. The Revenant is very fast and maneuverable, well armored, and well armed. Like most Covenant vehicles, the Revenant owes its mobility to a [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
'''Campaign'''
 
*The Revenant appears in many campaign levels, but is only moderately effective at killing enemies.
===Armaments===
*The main gun will kill most enemies in 1-3 hits depending on the difficulty and which enemy is being shot.
It is armed with a [[Class-2 medium plasma mortar]] that is implemented behind the operator; this weapon is similar to the [[heavy plasma mortar]] utilized by the Wraith, featuring a much faster rate of fire though considerably lower firepower.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The Class-2 medium plasma mortar is typically found on weapons emplacements and much larger vehicles, but the Revenant is an exception. The weapon's quicker rate of fire and short range reflects upon the aggressive combat style of the [[Sangheili]] operators, allowing them to provide devastating close artillery support for infantry and other vehicles, such as Ghost squadrons, and then redeploy without stopping.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
*As far as [[splatter]]ing enemies, the vehicle is slightly more effective than the [[Ghost]] due to its increased size.
 
*When fighting [[Wraiths]] in the Revenant, ensure that you stay around two Revenant lengths away. This distance ensures that the Wraith will not be able to ram you, as well as giving you sufficient room to dodge its plasma mortars.
===Variants===
*The Revenant is an effective vehicle for engaging [[Hunters]] from a distance, as it is quick and agile enough to dodge their projectiles, and its cannon is powerful enough to inflict damage upon the Hunters. However, Hunters cannot be splattered, and if this is attempted, the hunter will simply melee the vehicle away.
*'''{{Pattern|Phelent|Revenant}}''' - a slightly heavier modification of the base Revenant design sometimes termed the "Scout Revenant". Unlike the standard Revenant, it lacks a passenger seat and [[plasma mortar]]; instead, it features a separate gunner-operated [[plasma repeater turret]] on the aft.{{Ref/Reuse|ScoutRev}}
'''Multiplayer'''
<gallery class="center">
*The Revenant's speed, durability, and power make it a great choice in objective game-types such as [[Capture the Flag]].
File:H4_Revenant_Cutout.png|A scout Revenant.
*If two people are in a Revenant, the passenger could be a great ally if armed with a power weapon such as a [[Plasma Pistol]] for disarming more powerful vehicles. Due to a glitch with the aim assist, an player with a DMR or a Sniper Rifle can get very easy headshots.

*Do not engage a [[Scorpion]] with a Revenant as its main cannon will destroy it with a single hit. However, the [[Wraith]] can be destroyed by a skilled player. Ensure that you circle using the boost to dodge the slower moving Wraith projectiles and attack the sides and back.
 
*[[Warthogs]], [[Ghosts]], [[Mongooses]], and other Revenants can all easily be engaged.  
==Operational history==
*The Revenant is a poor choice for combating [[Banshees]] or a [[Falcon]], as both can easily avoid the relatively slow moving mortar shots.
The ''Rizvum'' [[design pattern]] of Revenant was first observed by forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]] forces in [[2530]],{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} though it was not [[Type classification system|officially catalogued]] by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] until [[2548]] - gaining the designation of Type-48.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Although the Type-48 Revenant was quite popular among [[Sangheili]] soldiers, the [[Merchants of Qikost]] were unable to mass-produce the vehicle quickly enough to satisfy demands, and as such, it was rarely encountered by [[human]] soldiers until the infamous [[Fall of Reach]]; often, when it was encountered, its operators used the vehicle to leave effectively no survivors to record its presence.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
*The Revenant is one of the most [[splatter]] capable vehicles in the game, with both its sides and it's front extremely lethal, especially when combined with the boost. It is even capable of destroying Ghosts and Mongooses if it hits them.
 
During the Reach campaign in [[2552]], Covenant forces deployed Revenants at an [[Battle of Sword Base|attack on]] the ONI facility [[Sword Base]], one of which defended the nearby Covenant-occupied [[Farragut Station]] while others were holding their positions near the Sword Base's gate. They were all destroyed by [[Catherine-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] from [[Noble Team]].{{Ref/Level|HR|ONI: Sword Base}} About three weeks later, during the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|engagement]] at [[Szurdok Ridge]], Revenants were deployed to defend several {{Pattern|Cheru|Tyrant}} emplacements,{{Ref/Level|HR|Tip of the Spear}} and when the Covenant had taken over the majority of Reach, they, once again, placed multiple Revenants near Sword Base. Along with the Covenant troops accompanying them, however, the Revenants were eliminated when SPARTAN-B312 and ODSTs made their way to Sword Base.{{Ref/Level|HR|The Package}}
 
Revenants made a resurgence following the [[Human-Covenant War]]'s end, due to their ideal use in fast-attack runs on fortified positions and scorched earth raids.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} In [[2553]], Revenants made up the majority of Covenant ground vehicles that remained operational on [[Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Novel|Gla|Chapter=2}} Sangheili warlords quickly acquired Revenants, either by favor or by force. Thousands of these scarlet-hulled vehicles were used in the [[Blooding Years|attempted coup]] against [[Thel 'Vadam]], and many Sangheili lives, homes, and keeps were destroyed by them during the war.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Novel|TTW|Chapter=9}}


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In folklore, a [[wikipedia:Revenant (folklore)|revenant]] is a visible ghost or animated corpse that terrorizes the living.
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
*The Revenant is erroneously listed as the Type-32 RAV on [[Bungie.net]]'s career stats section. This is actually the designation of the [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]].
