The E540 Halberd-H is a top gunner weapon available to the Harasser, among other vehicles. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.
The E540 Halberd-H is a single-shot rocket launcher, firing a potent rocket at a relatively high speed. Designed as an anti-vehicle weapon, the Halberd deals considerable damage-per-shot compared to other gunner weapons, however this comes at the expense of overall damage-per-second, with a lengthy reload between each shot hampering the weapon's effectiveness in raw damage competition.
The Halberd's single-shot firing mode, while presenting clear weaknesses in one regard, can also be played as a strength. The Halberd is the only gunner weapon capable of killing standard infantry classes in a single hit, where Flak Armor is not in use.
In addition, the Halberd is capable of outputting a considerable amount of damage while minimizing the amount of time the vehicle must stay exposed, whereas other weapons such as the M20 Basilisk must stay exposed for extended periods of time to maximize their damage output.
