Nornfang is a custom-crafted SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle hand-tuned by Linda-058. [1]
Development History
Nornfang was originally manufactured by Misriah Armory for their internal competitive sharpshooting team, before it went missing.[2] Nornfang fires high explosive armor piercing (HEAP) rounds. Modifications incorporated by Linda-058 ensure the Motion Tracker is visible even while zoomed in.[3]
Gameplay
Nornfang is a mythic weapon in Halo 5: Guardians. Nornfang does more damage than standard sniper rifles, being capable of an instant kill on an opponent with normal shielding regardless of where the shot lands. Due to the bullets having a proximity explosion effect, this means that even a missed shot can still kill the target as long as they are within range of the bullet's detonation. However, as the increased damage is due to a Damage Boost effect applied to the user while the weapon is active, a wielder of this weapon will appear more visible due to the red particle effects. Unlike other weapons the motion sensor is still visible even when using Smart scope.
In the Halo 5: Guardians campaign, Nornfang can be found during the mission Unconfirmed in the Prowler that Blue Team arrived in, lacking its Damage Boost from multiplayer.
