Promethean Morter [Weapon Idea]

So I was fooling around in forge and I thought, as many others have, that there is not really a weapon “category” which is specifically / exclusively for the Prometheans. You know a weapon you know only they have, like the spartan laser for the UNSC or the Needler / gravity hammer for the Covenant.

Now here is my idea on how it could function (keep in mind that I am no designer of any sorts) :

It would function like a mortar, like firing shells or one shell into the air. Now from here there could be three possible functions / ways it could be done

  1. The shell would detonate in air and rain a bunch of miniature exploding bombs or shells down in a straight line
  2. The Gun / mortar would fire one shell which would then detonate in air into several smaller “shells”, leaving them hanging in the air for a duration or until a vehicle comes around (within range) and they would then home in on that target (Maybe anti air only)
  3. Both functions above could be integrated into the weapon, all depending on either how you fire it (kind like the grenade launcher from reach) or by REQ variation.

If you have any ideas of your own or would like to add to this please do so !

Tell me what you think of the idea !

It’s a good idea. Were you get inspired by Battlefield 1 by any chance?

Nope, I don’t even own the game.

It’s a great idea, we need more Promethean weapons and vehicles in the future…

That would be sweet. Also seems like it could totally be a promethean weapon.

I really like the idea the prometheans really need more weapons and vehicles
