The Lancer GL Assault Rifle was the tactical variant of the Mark iii Lancer Assault Rifle designed by Damon Baird in the early stages of the Swarm Invasion. It is designed for more than intense firefights and as a more portable and tactical form of artillery compared to the bulkier and larger Mortar.

Compared to its standard counterpart, the GL model replaced the chainsaw bayonet with an under-barrel mortar capable of firing laser-guided clusters of micro-grenades. Rechambered for a smaller cartridge, this variant also offered the user a much larger magazine and higher rate of fire.

History [ ]

Following Baird's evolution of the Mk. 3 Lancer with Marcus Michael Fenix, Baird began cartoon up blueprints for a new tactical variant of Lancer based on the recently adult model. The new Lancers would accept several new parts and components including a curt barrel, tactical laser, and a unlike firing mechanism that gave the rifle a faster rate of fire than its predecessor. The most noteworthy change to the rifle was the removal of the Chainsaw Bayonet, which was replaced by an under-barrel grenade launcher based on the COG Mortar.

They were outset used during the Evacuation of Settlement 2 past Augustus Cole, James Dominic Fenix, and Delmont Walker after they constitute them in a weapons cache.

Four months after the evacuation of Settlement two, Kait and Del arrived at the Riftworm Village armed with Lancer GL'southward in an attempt to convince the village chief and Kait'southward uncle Oscar Diaz to re-enlist in the COG army along with the residue of the village. The weapons were confiscated by a village security guard and were placed in the first checkpoint'southward armory, where they were possibly retrieved during the Siege of Riftworm Village.

Later in Vasgar, Kait and Del were again armed with Lancer GL's when arriving at the nomad military camp in Vasgar Air International and JD later arrives to assist them armed with a Lancer GL.

During the Battle of Old Ephyra, the 3 continued to use the weapon when trying to deploy the Hammer of Dawn targeting beacons.

The grenade launcher extends the platform's adequacy at longer ranges, and against entrenched enemies.

The grenade launcher's animation cants the weapon on its side to activate a light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation designator. The targeting arrangement lazes the target area and, when fired, employs a burn down-and-forget salvo that does not demand constant line-of-sight feed like to a Mortar. The actor is free to maneuver later on the launcher is fired. The firing sequence launches a cluster of smart munitions that use a high-angle trajectory and splash damage in a wide spread, best utilized against enemies behind cover, and large groups. The launcher replaces the typical lancer chainsaw and every bit a effect does not have a comparable instant-kill melee.

The Lancer GL has 160 rounds, and iii Grenade salvos when picked upwards in multiplayer, with a maximum of 440 Rounds and three Grenade salvos. The Lancer GL has less maximum ammunition compared to the Mk3 Lancer, but a larger magazine capacity due to its smaller ammunition. Armament boxes replenish the rifle ammunition, but merely another Lancer GL can replenish grenade ammunition.
