|
| '''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian''' is a special variant of the [[Z-750 binary rifle|Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle]], which appears in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' as a Legendary [[Requisition system|REQ]] variant of the Binary Rifle. Its design is identical to that of the standard Binary Rifle, except with the addition of orange and turquoise stripes around the weapon.<ref name="H5G">'''''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''''' - ''[[Multiplayer]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| == Background ==
| |
| 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 speed. It is named after [[Maethrillian]], the capital of the Forerunner [[ecumene]] and is described as a twin "missing its sibling".<ref name="REQ"/>
| |
|
| |
| In [[2558#October|October 2558]], during the [[Battle of Genesis]], two copies of the ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' were found on [[Genesis]]. The first one was found in the canyons through which [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[Blue Team]] passed to reach the [[Gateway]].<ref name="Reunion">'''''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''''' - campaign level, ''[[Reunion]]''</ref> A second copy was later found in the snow-capped regions of Genesis, particularly near a gravitational core that [[Fireteam Osiris]], with the help of [[031 Exuberant Witness]], destroyed in their mission to free Blue Team from [[Cortana]]'s [[Cryptum]].<ref name="Guardians">'''''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''''' - campaign level, ''[[Guardians (level)|Guardians]]''</ref> The weapon was later integrated into [[War Games]] simulations for use by [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref name="H5G"/>

| |
| == Gameplay ==
| |
| === ''Halo 5: Guardians'' ===
| |
| The ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' is a [[special weapons|special weapon]] that can be found in the campaign missions ''[[Reunion]]'' and ''[[Guardians (level)|Guardians]]''.
| |
|
| |
| The ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'' appears as a Legendary requisition available at REQ Level 7. Its REQ card 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, especially the [[Warden Eternal]] and [[Goblin]]s; the weapon can destroy a [[Type-58 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 [[Soldier Officer]]s in one hit, even on [[Legendary]] difficulty, so long as both of the beams hit for the entire time.
| |
|
| |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Changes from the Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle ====
| |
| * Fires two beams that have stronger anti-armor capabilities and a longer beam duration of one second.
| |
| * Can carry a maximum of 12 total rounds (2 ready + 10 reserve).
| |
| * Much lower rate of fire, at only 26 RPM (-60%).
| |
| * Can only score headshots if aiming for the sides of an enemy's head.
