The Scatterbound Heatwave is variant of the standard Heatwave. In addition to having a white chassis, its fires modified and repurposed Z-180 Scattershot rounds, which seek out targets after a ricochet.[5]

Usage

In the Forerunner era, the Scatterbound Heatwave was notably employed by a Warrior-Servant warrior, Salient-Lance.[7] Millennia later, the weapon was used by Wraithmaster Ordo 'Mal, a Sangheili in the Banished during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560.[8] During the campaign, he used the weapon in a combat encounter with John-117, though was defeated by the Spartan.[9]

In-game information

In campaign, the Scatterbound Heatwave is a legendary weapon awarded to the player after defeating the High Value Target, Ordo 'Mal. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base within the campaign. It fires projectiles that travel faster and seek out targets after bouncing off surfaces.[5] It can also be found in a secret tunnel near Outpost Tremonious that is guarded by a cloaked Elite.
