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. | 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.

The Blaze of Glory is a Rare Level {{Energy|4}} [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants {{RP|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 (15.45m (50.69ft) in hipfire, 26.01m (85.33ft) with Smart-Link{{Ref/YouTube|Id=SFA|ZZeusTupk3U|Aozolai|Halo 5 - Shotguns Full Analysis|D=15|M=11|Y=2024}} 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 Blaze of Glory even more fatal against anything up to 16.95m (55.61ft) away than other Shotguns, especially as its knockback allows players to slow down moving vehicles like [[M12 Warthog|Warthogs]], [[M820 Scorpion|Scorpions]], [[Karo'wark-pattern Ghost|Ghosts]], and [[Kemu-pattern 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 Rare Level {{Energy|4}} [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants {{RP|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. By comparison, Blaze of Glory is superior over the [[Oathsworn]] in every performance aspect, although it lacks the built-in [[Speed Boost]] of the latter. | 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.
