| The '''Weapon/Anti-Materiel Z-390 High-Explosive Munitions Rifle''' ('''W/AM Z-390 HEMR'''), also known as the '''incineration cannon''', is a [[Forerunner]] anti-matériel weapon originally used to combat the [[Flood]].<ref name="h4evg">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 101''</ref><ref>[http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/26/The-Halo-Bulletin-92612-.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''The Halo Bulletin 9.27.12'']</ref> It is commonly used by [[Promethean Knight|Promethean]] [[Knight Commander]]s. | | The '''Weapon/Anti-Materiel Z-390 High-Explosive Munitions Rifle''', also known as the '''Incineration cannon''', is a [[Forerunner]] anti-matériel weapon.<ref>[http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/26/The-Halo-Bulletin-92612-.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 9.27.12'']</ref> |

| == Overview == | | ==Overview== |
| === Design details ===
| | The Incineration Cannon fires multiple streams of explosive particles that detonate and spread upon impact with a target. The additional explosive projectiles generated at the site of impact spread out in tall but short arc trajectories. It internally holds five whole charges at a time with one shot per charge. Each charge is automatically "loaded" after firing and cool-down. It has been described as "mixing traits of a rocket launcher, shotgun, and flamethrower." |
| The weapon possesses an angular design and a metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and reloading mechanics. Red highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy5cns3AhkE '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 4 Incineration Cannon, Binary Rifle'']</ref> The weapon features an integrated optical scope for targeting accuracy. The Incineration Cannon was manufactured and developed by [[Ferrarius Assembler Vats]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=393}} | |

|
| === Operational history === | | ===Design details=== |
| The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge Flood-infected sites. [[Promethean]]s used the Incineration Cannon when assaulting a location believed to contain a [[Gravemind]], or early-forming [[Flood hive|spore mountains]], that were deemed too small for ship weapons but too large for infantry weapons.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} The Incineration Cannon fires five antimatter-infused streams of concentrated explosive particles,{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} which gather into globular projectiles that oscillate along a straight trajectory and disintegrate targets when landing a killing blow. The projectiles detonate and spread upon impact with a target, ricocheting and bouncing in tall but short arc trajectories. It initially holds five whole charges at a time with one shot per charge. Each charge is automatically "loaded" after firing and cool-down.

| In [[Warzone]] simulations, the Incineration Cannon can be [[Requisition system|requisitioned]] by [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] as a Level 5 Rare REQ.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

| == Variants ==
| |
| * '''[[River of Light]]''': The ''River of Light'' is an improved Incineration Cannon that was created during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], which led to many technical advances that ultimately proved fruitless. Upgraded with increased damage, a wider projectile trajectory, 25% increased battery capacity, faster burst rate of fire, faster charging speed, and faster heat dissipation, it unleashes long bursts of [[seven]] energy blasts if charged up. Available as an Ultra Rare REQ for Level 5 energy in Warzone simulations, the ''River of Light'' is also available as the third [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|hidden weapon]] in the mission [[Reunion]].{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| * '''[[Heartseeker]]''': The ''Heartseeker'', carried by [[Warrior-Servant]]s relentless on the hunt, is an advanced Incineration Cannon that fires slower-moving but more powerful energy charges with very strong homing behavior, 30% increased range, and a wider blast radius over the standard weapon. It is available in Warzone simulations as a Legendary REQ that costs Level 6 energy.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

| == Gameplay ==
| |
| {{Linkbox|gameplay=yes}}
| |
| === Changes from ''Halo 4'' to ''Halo 5: Guardians'' ===
| |
| * Power of the weapon is determined by how long the user holds down the trigger, with uncharged shots firing a burst of two projectiles with arcing trajectory and fully charged shots having a similar effect as those of the previous incarnation of the weapon, albeit without any secondary explosions. Keeping the weapon charged will slowly deplete its battery at a rate of 1% per second, similar to the [[Type-54 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]].
| |
| ** Uncharged shot consumes 5% of each shot while fully charged shots mainly can consume up to 25% in total.
| |
| * A battery meter replaces the reloading, single shot mechanic of the ''Halo 4'' incarnation.
| |
| * Aiming reticle has been altered.
| |
| * Lights on the weapon are recolored from red to orange.
| |
| * Time between fully charged shots is shorter.
| |
| * Ammo total reduced from 6 to 4 for fully charged shot and increased from 6 to 20 for uncharged shot.
| |
| * Red reticle range significantly decreased, although charged shots are mostly unaffected.
| |
| * No longer makes a sound when the player attempts to fire the weapon while out of ammo.
| |
| * Now expands slightly when smart scope is used instead of bringing up a fullscreen smart-linked scope on the player's [[heads-up display]].
| |
| | |
| === Changes from ''Halo 5: Guardians'' to [[Overtime]] ===
| |
| * Aiming reticle's outer brackets have been very slightly bloomed out.
| |
| | |
| === ''Halo: Spartan Strike'' ===
| |
| * Carries a maximum of 8 shots.
| |
| * Inflicts significant splash damage.
| |
| * Can destroy a Wraith or Scorpion tank in one precision shot.
| |
| * Requires open area for safe use. As with other explosive weapons, splash damage at close range can injure or even kill the player.
