The Heatwave is a semi-automatic hardlight-based once used by the Forerunner military.[1][2]
Overview
Design details
The Heatwave fires purple hardlight implosive projectiles in two different firing modes. When in the first firing mode, both sides of the front cowling are extended outward, and it fires six projectiles in a horizontal pattern. The second firing mode has the side cowlings retract inward to fire the six projectiles in a vertical diamond pattern. In both modes, the projectiles can bounce off of hard surfaces like walls and ceilings. If the user aims down sight with the Heatwave, its projectiles can be controlled mid-flight. Upon imploding, the hardlight projectiles can disintegrate organic targets, like many Promethean weapons.[3][1]
Gameplay
Halo Infinite
