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.[3][2]
Overview
The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge infected sites. Prometheans used the Incineration Cannon when assaulting a location believed to contain a Gravemind, or early-forming spore mountains, that were deemed too small for ship weapons but too large for infantry weapons.[2] The Incineration Cannon fires five antimatter-infused streams of concentrated explosive particles,[2] 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."
Design details
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.[4] The weapon features an integrated optical scope for targeting accuracy.
Variants
- River of Light: The River of Light unleashes long bursts of energy blasts if charged up.[5]
- Heartseeker: Heartseeker fires tracking energy charges.[5]
Gameplay
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.
- Single-charge "magazines" have been replaced with a battery meter.
- Lights on the weapon have switched from red to orange.
