- — In-game description[1]
The Loathsome Thing is a special Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator.[2][3]
Overview
Design details
The Loathsome Thing is a named variant of the Z-180 CCR/AEM, with upgrades including a 10-round magazine, a faster rate of fire, faster reloading speed between projectiles, and a slightly higher damage output. Reusing the standard Scattershot's model, the Loathsome Thing is decorated with additional orange stripes covering the weapon, particularly around the front barrel area and the rest of the weapon's main body.[3]
Service history
First introduced in the Forerunner-Flood war, the Loathsome Thing is known to have been drenched in the ichor of an uncountable number of Flood across hundred thousand different hives.[1]
In October 2558, two copies of the weapon were left in an area on Kamchatka that Fireteam Osiris passed through on their mission to recover Catherine Halsey from Jul 'Mdama and his Covenant forces.[4] The weapon was later integrated into War Games simulations for use by Spartan-IVs aboard the UNSC Infinity.[3]
Gameplay
