| | The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge 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 name="h4evg"/> The Incineration Cannon fires five antimatter-infused streams of concentrated explosive particles,<ref name="h4evg"/> which gather into globular projectiles that oscillate along a straight trajectory. 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. 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.

| 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'' unleashes long bursts of energy blasts if charged up.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> |
|
| |
|
| == Variants == | | ====Heartseeker==== |
| * '''[[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'' fires tracking energy charges.<ref name="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'' === | | ==Gameplay== |
| * Carries a maximum of 8 shots. | | ===Changes from ''Halo 4'' to ''Halo 5: Guardians''=== |
| * Inflicts significant splash damage.
| | *Power of the weapon is determined by how long the user holds down the trigger, with uncharged shots firing a burst of two projectiles. |
| * Can destroy a Wraith or Scorpion tank in one precision shot.
| | *Single-charge "magazines" have been replaced with a battery meter. |
| * Requires open area for safe use. As with other explosive weapons, splash damage at close range can injure or even kill the player. | |
