* | * [[Warzone]] and Arena feature two additional variants of the Needler, each being situational but efficient upgrades: | ||
** No matter the version of Needler you use, don't spare the ammo; if you think you have enough rounds in the target to kill them with a supercombine, hit them with a few more. | ** '''''Hailstorm''''': basically a straight upgrade to the standard Needler with a 50% larger magazine, faster needles, and slightly stronger tracking. | ||
** '''''Talon of the Lost''''': an anti-vehicle/anti-armor Needler. While not as efficient against something heavy like a [[M820 Scorpion|Scorpion]] or [[Phaeton]], it works well enough against [[Karo'wark-pattern Ghost|Ghosts]] and [[M290 Mongoose|Mongooses]], as well as armored enemies or even bosses like [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], [[Promethean Knight]]s, {{Pattern|Pnap|Goblin}}s, and the [[Warden Eternal]]. It also appears in the seventh campaign mission ''[[Reunion]]''. | |||
