The ''Blaze of Glory'' is a named variant of the M45D Tactical Shotgun, upgraded to use the [[Kinetic Bolts]] attachment for extra damage and knockback against vehicles and longer overall range, as well as a quick single-shell reload and a higher rate of fire. It is described as the result of advanced technology combined with brutal simplicity. | === Design details === | ||

The ''Blaze of Glory'' is a Level 4 Rare [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants 100 REQ Points when sold. It operates identically to a normal Shotgun, except with the addition of Kinetic Bolts to augment the weapon with greater overall range and extra anti-vehicular attributes that include stronger knockback against vehicles. It carries a single-shell reload as well, effectively reducing reload times by 50.5%. These improvements make the ''Blaze of Glory'' even more fatal against anything up to 16.95 m (55.61 ft) away than other Shotguns, especially as its knockback allows players to slow down moving vehicles like [[M12 Warthog|Warthogs]], [[M820 Scorpion|Scorpions]], [[Type-54 Ghost|Ghosts]], and [[Type-58 Wraith|Wraiths]] to facilitate hijacking/ boarding action or even further attacks on the vehicle. In addition, it can even destroy light vehicles in as little as 3 shells. As the weapon is equipped with the Kinetic Bolts attachment, any targets killed with the weapon disintegrate upon death in the same manner as a [[Promethean Knight]]. Its closest competitors at close and medium range are ''[[The Answer]]'' and ''[[Didact's Signet]]''. | The ''Blaze of Glory'' is a Level 4 Rare [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants 100 REQ Points when sold.

In tandem with [[active camouflage|Active Camo]], the ''Blaze of Glory'' can turn its wielder into a single-unit base assault/defense machine in [[Warzone]] as they can crouch-walk close to hostiles and incinerate them with a single shell. | In tandem with [[active camouflage|Active Camo]], the ''Blaze of Glory'' can turn its wielder into a single-unit base assault/defense machine in [[Warzone]] as they can crouch-walk close to hostiles and incinerate them with a single shell. | ||
