The '''Weapon/Anti-Materiel Z-390 High-Explosive Munitions Rifle''' | The '''Weapon/Anti-Materiel Z-390 High-Explosive Munitions Rifle''', also known as the '''incineration cannon''', is a [[Forerunner]] anti-matériel weapon originally used to combat the [[Flood]].<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><ref name="h4evg">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 101''</ref> It is commonly used by [[Promethean Knight|Promethean]] [[Knight Commander]]s. | ||
== Overview == | == Overview == | ||
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 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. 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 weapon possesses an angular design and a metallic casing.

* '''[[River of Light]]''': The ''River of Light'' | * '''[[River of Light]]''': The ''River of Light'' 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 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 a secret weapon in the mission [[Reunion]].<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | ||
* '''Heartseeker''': The ''Heartseeker'', carried by [[Warrior-Servant]]s relentless on the hunt, 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 name="H5G"/> | |||

* 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]]. | * 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.
