The ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' is a named variant of the Z-750 SASR, upgraded with dual beam emitters that enhance the weapon's anti-armor utility at the expense of a lower firing rate. Named after [[Maethrillian]], the capital of the Forerunner [[ecumene]], and described as a twin "missing its sibling", the ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' retains the design and chassis of the standard Binary Rifle, except with the addition of orange and turquoise stripes around the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}}

The ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' is a [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|special weapon]] that can be found in the campaign missions ''[[Reunion]]'' and ''[[Guardians]]'', making it the only special weapon to appear in more than one mission, excluding the ''[[Oathsworn]]'' and ''[[Nornfang]]''.

The ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' appears as a Level 7 Legendary [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants 200 REQ Points when sold. The weapon fires two magenta beams that deal extra damage against armor and have a longer duration than the single beams of lesser Binary Rifle models. This makes it deadly against vehicles and bosses alike, especially the [[Warden Eternal]] and {{Pattern|Pnap|Goblin}}s; the weapon can destroy a [[Kemu-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] in two hits if aiming for the back. In addition, it is possible to score multiple kills (2 or 3) in one shot because of this, although this depends on the player's skill with the weapon. Also, it can carry one more magazine than a standard Binary Rifle. It is capable of killing [[Armiger Officer]]s in one hit, even on [[Legendary]] difficulty, so long as both of the beams hit for the entire time; this can be made even easier if the [[Halo 5: Guardians skulls#Tilt|Tilt]] skull is activated. As with the ''[[Retina of the Mind's Eye]]'', the ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' has the same overall range as a Binary Rifle: 38.10&nbsp;m (125.00&nbsp;ft) in hipfire, 152.40&nbsp;m (500.00&nbsp;ft) with 4× zoom, and 342.90 m (1,125.00&nbsp;ft) with 9× zoom.{{Ref/Reuse|analysis}}

However, to mitigate the effects of its improvements, the ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' has a 60% lower firing rate, at only 26 RPM, making this weapon even more unforgiving if a player misses a shot. Its ability to score headshots is also now restricted only to side headshots. In addition, it is also a very expensive weapon, being a Legendary Level 7 REQ, and is outclassed by cheaper, more common weapons that can fulfill each of the ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian''{{'}}s two purposes, like the [[M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Laser]], ''[[Endgame]]'', and ''[[Selene's Lance]]'' that are anti-vehicle weapons available as Rare Level 4, Ultra Rare Level 5, and Legendary Level 5 REQs, respectively; and the normal Binary Rifle and ''Retina of the Mind's Eye'' that each function as a powerful sniper weapon available as an Ultra Rare Level 6 REQ.
