A few notes. The 'lock-on' time requirement for all Hydra Launcher variants is ~ 0.40 s (this is the amount of time you will need to aim Hydra Launcher variants at an enemy before they will start tracking). Summarized weapon data is in the description. Until next time Spartans!
Aozolai did you do any analysis upon how wide the angle of lock on is? I have gotten pretty amazing kills with the hydra taking advantage of its massive lock on angle paired with de-scoped lock on time
It's possible that it's intended to be used on fast-approaching enemies (vehicles) so lock-on and fire can be achieved before they've made it to attack range (maybe to make up for the travel time of the missiles).
I miss this shit man. People trash halo 5 so much but I had some of the most fun I’ve ever had in that game. Been rewatching all of your older vids and it all just brings me back. Much love bro hope you see this
Also, it takes 3 shots to kill a Spartan with the Echidna if they have upgraded shields... still only 2 for the Hydra Launcher and Typhoon if they upgraded shields...
I've been playing Halo 5 for over a year now and just now learned that Echidna has two levels of magnification! I can't wait to try this out on WZ. Thanks for your videos Azolai.
Echidna seems quite niche. It'll lock a vehicle in place, but depending on how far away that vehicle is, you might need a teammate to hijack/destroy it. Against AI in WZ and WZF, it seems like it could help a lot. In Super Fiesta, you might want to drop it for something more sure in close quarter fights. Then again, the Echidna can lock on without zooming.
I think echidina would make a great pair with a sniper rifle. Not only can you use it as a spotter, its hipfire-tracking ability will also help a lot for mid-close engagment.
Typhon is probably the best. It's essentially a coked up Hydra. But Echidna's lock on is still a very good feature, along with the really good range, and EMP.
Well... now i know why the hell my echidna missiles wouldn't hit the targets... What's the point of locking on TWICE the distance of the actual missile range.
Yup, you won't need to be in Smart-Link to lock on to close targets with Echidnas. Remember, you can't use Smart-Link if being shot at so the Echidna is superior in that aspect.
Hey Aozolai we wont be able to play or talk about together again cuz i gave up on video games... But I hope that youre channel keeps growing and I will try my best to be in da comments ! Good luck my man !!
I understand man, you gotta do what you gotta do. After Halo 3 I took a long break from video games to focus on school/college but I still followed Halo, Battlefield, and Gears of War as interests. They helped me keep my mind in balance with some of the difficult courses I was taking. Maybe you will find a similar balance in the future. Best of luck to you dude and thanks for the support!
Geez, i did not know the Echidna had such a far lock in range. However, i do find it retarted/dumb that they cant reach its lock on range. Only way it would be effective that way is if the enemy is coming towards you. Even so, its actual effective lock on range is sufficient if it only started tracking from its farthest effective range.

The entire Smart-Link reticle is capable of lock on even if slightly on the enemy's body
I guess it's always a good idea to shoot 3 rockets... right?
+EndyEnderman Yup
+megaman7501 I wear the Achilles helmet
Huh that's weird that echidna's max lock on range is longer than the max range of the missiles.
guess nobody expected for it to be used as a sniper lol.
Mario oiram I guess not lel
Xander 'The Wolf' i'm late, but i didn't even know you could zoom with the echidna, this fantastic weapon is even better now...
It's possible that it's intended to be used on fast-approaching enemies (vehicles) so lock-on and fire can be achieved before they've made it to attack range (maybe to make up for the travel time of the missiles).
Xander 'The Wolf' Same thing happens with the High Five. It can read up to 762 m/2,500 ft and yet it can't hit targets that far.
I miss this shit man. People trash halo 5 so much but I had some of the most fun I’ve ever had in that game. Been rewatching all of your older vids and it all just brings me back. Much love bro hope you see this

Thats odd. Granted the echidna is more for anti vehicles then personnel.
Maybe it’s harder to take down the shields of the spartan because their armor is hardened?
One of my favorite H5 content creators... back at it again. Nice vid man
I've been playing h5 for a while, and i NEVER KNEW ECHIDNA HAD DOUBLE ZOOM!!! i really need to use it more often
halounity same
I never knew the Ad Victorium had player-guided rockets until 5 minutes ago when I watch his M57 Launchers analysis!
HAIL HYDRA
I scream that everytime i have one lol
So I spawn with my sniper rifle ready to destroy dome defenders, and right when I spawn.. 7:44
But YAYYYYY I'M IN THE VIDEO!
Noice
Marruke BRUH YOU GOT HYDRA’D.....poor guy....at least you havent used the Norfang then,right?
I never realized the echidna could double zoom
You're done a fantastic work :) I would never have enough patience to experiement like you did :)
Sierra John Amen, sir. Amen.
Sometimes testing the weapons is frustrating as hell, but it's worth the knowledge in the end :)
Aozolai At least you have the patience and work ethic to do the homework! I dare say you've outdone yourself this time!
I've been playing Halo 5 for over a year now and just now learned that Echidna has two levels of magnification! I can't wait to try this out on WZ. Thanks for your videos Azolai.
All the weapons seem to have anti vehicle version and then their anti spartan ones
Gerat video! I like your strategy with the Echidna at the end, EMPing bosses for your teammates to help you take out while they can't move.
The Hydra was so good... What have they done to it in infinite 😭
Storm Rifle next ?
Hydras are so beautiful!
And fun
.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Honest to God i didn't think that the echidna could zoom in that far and have that much range and I've played halo 5 for a year
5:49 what was phoenix doing?
MAN I GIVE I LIKE FOR YOU YOURE VIDEOS ARE SO AMAZING
One of my favorite weapon's
the typhon is the obvious superior in my opinion fastest kill time and reload with longest lock on
agent alaska
Tython is anti-infantry (kills spartans)
Echidna is anti-vehicle (EMP)
Kinda
0:44 that beeping kinda goes well with the music
Also HAIL HYDRA
7:09 the infected always hit through the wall and kill me when I'm in that spot
I have been playing Halo 5 since it the day it came out... and I never new the echinda had double zoom...
Just when I got tired of this weapon, you show why it's important to do the homework. g
Great job, sir.
Echidna seems quite niche. It'll lock a vehicle in place, but depending on how far away that vehicle is, you might need a teammate to hijack/destroy it.

I've actually been curious on this topic
Love the vids! I've found so many useful tips from you to improve my Warzone gameplay and I have over 10,000 Warzone games lmao.
Nice, great vids on your channel bud
Thanks, I'm really glad I finally got my PC. Just wish 12-man Warzone was still a thing:(
I think echidina would make a great pair with a sniper rifle. Not only can you use it as a spotter, its hipfire-tracking ability will also help a lot for mid-close engagment.
I have seriously underrated the echidna not realizing it had a lock on range with that kind of distance. That's going to be fun on Noctus.
Typhon is probably the best. It's essentially a coked up Hydra. But Echidna's lock on is still a very good feature, along with the really good range, and EMP.
I don't care if I'm first or not being first doesn't matter
Sonic8Lasquero 808 Hi :)
BANSHEE PILOTS: The best way to avoid Hydras when they're chasing you is it flip up when you can hear them right behind you
A cool thing is when you being tracked in a banshee you can fly toward the enemy and evade up and the enemy will kill there self
I don't know why but I love the Hydra Launchers
i don't get that the echidna smart link 621 m while the rockets themselves can go only half the distance. what is the point of that range?
when I use it in campaign, feel nothing special......however when I use it in multiplay....... I love it so much.
Didn't even know the echidna had multiple zoom levels.
Thanks for your work man
One thing he forgot to mention is that typhoon is anti personnel hydra launcher or anti infantry well the other variant is anti vehicle hydra launcher
Nice video!!!👏👏👏
Scattershot or plasmacasters next?
Plasmer caster next ?
That's awesome cnixen is on here
i think you should do a paragraph at the end of each video to sum up the results
Can u do all rocket launchers analysis (both standard and SPKNR)
I skyjacked a phaeton Helios with active camo and a edcidna
About typhons, where will the missiles go if you lock multiple targets?
They seem to go to the target that your reticle is aimed at
What map was that infection match
Typhoon is awesome,The Hydra also good.
Nice video bro :)
What armor do you have equipped?
Do rockets next pls
Well... now i know why the hell my echidna missiles wouldn't hit the targets... What's the point of locking on TWICE the distance of the actual missile range.
Does anyone know how to do stuff like the pushing buttons on the guns in halo 5? Also stuff like looking at your gun
DomoGamer 04 just stand still for awhile
AfraidBasilix thanks!
For the infection gameplay, is that spot patched? ;)
Did you try Halo 5: Forge on PC? Sinon bonne vidéo ;)
is the auto lock on the echidna good when you don't use smart link?
Yup, you won't need to be in Smart-Link to lock on to close targets with Echidnas. Remember, you can't use Smart-Link if being shot at so the Echidna is superior in that aspect.
What's the map
Is this map downloadable?
Rocket launcher analysis?
Hey Aozolai we wont be able to play or talk about together again cuz i gave up on video games... But I hope that youre channel keeps growing and I will try my best to be in da comments ! Good luck my man !!
without video games life is very boring
I understand man, you gotta do what you gotta do. After Halo 3 I took a long break from video games to focus on school/college but I still followed Halo, Battlefield, and Gears of War as interests. They helped me keep my mind in balance with some of the difficult courses I was taking. Maybe you will find a similar balance in the future. Best of luck to you dude and thanks for the support!
Aozolai All good my man I might just go back on Xbox later on in life so I hope to see you then !😂😂👍🏼
good one
Wouhou my favorite weapon 😃
I pretty much never use any Hydra...let's see if this analysis changes my mind :)
what's the song during your intro?
Midnight in Tokyo - BlueFoxMusic
Geez, i did not know the Echidna had such a far lock in range. However, i do find it retarted/dumb that they cant reach its lock on range. Only way it would be effective that way is if the enemy is coming towards you.
Even so, its actual effective lock on range is sufficient if it only started tracking from its farthest effective range.
Personally I used all hydras but my favorite is typhon
finally thank you
*WOW* its dissapointing that the echidna at 4x has more rrr range than a sniper...
Hail hydra
I swear evading breaks the lock-on.
WAIT WTF!?! ECHIDNA HAS MULTI ZOOM!!!
Hydra dominatus
Like if you've ever gotten an evaded killed someone who evaded a hydra rocket but the rocket looped around
It just feels too strong...
It's better than a brute shot.
3-shot kill radius-no
XD
now hopefully people will use me...
ReplacedHydra46 everyone
Beep beep 2:06
3 shot kill radius - No
😂
Hydra in infinite is just not good man
hydra: how to die
hi :)
Yo, I remember you :D
:)
feelsgoodman keep up the work
Thumpnail😻

4th comment
THIS WEAPON IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING
I always hated this gun.
aka the bullshit launcher
I really like your videos, but your intro is very unnecessary, too long and annoying. I always have to skip them :/
