'''Oathsworn''' is a group of custom-crafted shotguns used by [[Kelly-087]].<ref name="H5">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref><ref name="BYRCP1">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-5-guardians-building-your-req-collection-part-1 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Building Your REQ Collection: Part 1'']</ref>

==Background==
The ''Oathsworn'' is an example of personalized equipment utilized by the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II's]]. It is a weapon that is often abandoned on the battleground over the years it was created, only to be recreated in preparation for another mission.<ref name="BYRCP1"/>

==Versions==
Every version of the weapon is slightly different, but the design of patterns on it have remained the same though for years since its inception. <ref name="BYRCP1"/>

===October 2558 Oathsworn===
The ''Oathsworn'' used in October 2558 by Kelly-087 is a [[M45 shotgun|M45D shotgun]].<ref name="H5"/><ref name="BYRCP1"/><ref name="H5"/>

==Gameplay==
The ''Oathsworn'' is a [[Mythic weapon|mythic]] weapon in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. As a slightly upgraded version of the ''Lawgiver'', the ''Oathsworn'' has increased damage, accuracy, and rate of fire compared to the normal shotgun, features slightly more range and accuracy over the ''Lawgiver'', and the increases the user's movement speed while the weapon is equipped. As the weapon has a built-in Speed Boost, users of ''Oathsworn'' receive white auras and highlights.<ref name="BYRCP1"/>

In the campaign, the ''Oathsworn'' can be equipped only if Kelly is selected by a player in [[cooperative play]]. Because of this, the ''Oathsworn'' is the only special weapon in the game that cannot be equipped in the solo campaign. The campaign rendition of the ''Oathsworn'' has the Speed Boost removed and is exactly identical performance-wise to a standard Shotgun, including the strong recoil.

== Trivia ==
* The rabbit painted on the side of the shotgun is a reference to Kelly-087's nickname, Rabbit.
* Near the trigger, the words "REMEMBER REACH" are etched onto the weapon.
