Blissful Slumber is featured in Halo 5: Guardians as a REQ variant of the Storm Rifle. It is one of two such variants in the game, the other being Fury. Its in-game REQ card is a Rare REQ card worth 100 when sold, and costs energy to call in.

When fired, Blissful Slumber fires projectiles that are affected by gravity and arc downward over time. Each bolt detonates on impact, causing a small secondary explosion with a damage radius of 2.75 meters (9.0 ft).
