The ''Heartseeker'' is a Legendary Level 6 [[Requisition system|REQ]] that restores 200 REQ Points to the player's RP balance when sold. Its operation is exactly identical to that of the normal Incineration Cannon, including the strong vertical recoil, except that the ''Heartseeker'' fires projectiles that exhibit strong tracking behavior and has a 25% larger battery capacity. This allows players with the ''Heartseeker'' to destroy enemy infantry, as one pull of the trigger with a red reticle lock is enough to kill an enemy without an [[Overshield]], thus making it an effective anti-infantry weapon. Its strong tracking behavior ignores [[Spartan abilities|thruster evades]]. However, the ''Heartseeker''{{'}}s user must have a spot-on aim to actually make the projectiles seek out their target, whether it be infantry or vehicles. The ''Heartseeker'' also deals major damage to vehicles and can especially bring devastating results to [[M290 Mongoose|Mongooses]], [[M12B Warthog|Warthogs]], [[Type-54 Ghost|Ghosts]], and [[AV-49 Wasp|Wasps]]. Conversely, the ''Heartseeker'' has the tightest arcing trajectory of all Incineration Cannons, making uncharged shots less effective beyond medium range. Its red reticle ranges are 39.62&nbsp;m (130.00&nbsp;ft) hipfired and 64.39&nbsp;m (211.25&nbsp;ft) with Smart-Link. In addition, it has a larger blast radius for its charged shots: a radius of 5.55&nbsp;m (18.21&nbsp;ft) is needed to kill a Spartan, while charged shots have a blast radius of 7.10&nbsp;m (23.29&nbsp;ft).

In [[Warzone]], Mythic [[Knight Commander]] bosses, including [[Endurance-of-Will]], generally use the ''Heartseeker'', making them highly dangerous foes, especially since they fire it at a much faster rate than players can, although the ''Heartseeker'' actually has somewhat weaker tracking behavior when used by Knight bosses.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
