Hack 60. Swap Ammunition

Mix and match projectiles from the different weapons.

This hack changes the type of ammunition that existing Halo 2 weapons use. For example, you can change the Rocket Launcher so that it fires Wraith mortal rounds.

To complete this swap, navigate through the [weap] Weapons tags until you find the Rocket Launcher (see Figure 7-9).

Next, open the drop-down box and select the Wraith mortar rounds. You will find the Wraith mortar along the path objects\vehicles\wraith\turrets\mortar. Once you have it selected, use the Swap Dependency button to switch the Wraith ammunition and the Rocket Launcher round (see Figure 7-10).

Sign your map [Hack #53] and then FTP it to your Xbox [Hack #54].

This change is pretty cool because you can use the mortar in places where you normally would not be able to have the Wraith weapon (see Figure 7-11).
