Template:Weapon Infobox The Type-55 Directed Energy Rifle/Advanced (T55 DER/A), commonly known as the Storm Rifle, is a Sangheili directed energy weapon.[1]
Overview
Designed by Lodam Armory in the wake of the Great Schism, the T55 was in use by 2553[2] and saw use during Sangheili civil conflicts following the Human-Covenant War's conclusion. The T55 DER/A is considered to be a successor to and direct evolution of the widely used Type-25 plasma rifle;[3] however, it is more similar to the Type-51 plasma repeater, itself an upgrade of the T25, in both form and function. The weapon features such modifications as a rotating modular coil set, a high-mounted cooling shroud, and an extended barrel, which improve upon the features of the standard plasma rifle it replaced the role of.[1]
Despite their typical use of matériel dating back to the war with humanity, Sangheili in the reformed Covenant use the Type-55 as their standard-issue weapon. The SPARTAN-IVs deployed aboard the UNSC Infinity also use the Storm Rifle as part of their on-mission loadouts, despite it being of non-UNSC origin.[4]
Trivia
- "Storm Rifle" is a literal translation of the German "Sturmgewehr", which is generally rendered as "assault rifle" in English, and is in fact the origin of that title. The StG-44 (roughly: Model 1944 assault rifle) was the first assault rifle to see widespread deployment during the latter part of World War II.
- The Sangheili Ranger action figure will include a code that will unlock the "Chill" skin for the storm rifle.
- Strangely, the Storm Rifle does not count toward automatic loadout weapon commendations in War Games, despite its predecessors all being considered automatic.
- The weapon's reticule is similar in both appearance and bloom behavior to the plasma repeater from Halo: Reach. The weapons' firing styles are also similar, though the Storm Rifle lacks the "fire through overheat" feature that the Plasma Repeater has.
- It is possible to use equipment while the Storm Rifle is venting, which has lead to a tactic combining it with the Thruster Pack, whereupon the user fires till it overheats, jets to the side or in reverse to avoid incoming fire, then re-engages their target with the now-cooled weapon.
