The shock rifle is a Banished directed-energy rifle.[1][2] It is notable for its five-round electrolaser burst capable of disabling energy shielding and even some vehicles.[1][3]
Overview
Design details
Likely designed for the large frames of Jiralhanae warriors, the shock rifle has massive proportions, most easily seen by its prominent rear grip. Beneath this grip is a sizeable curved blade, similar to that seen on the Type-25 Brute Shot. On the forward edge of this blade is a leather-wrapped handle used for holding the rifle steady while firing. Above this is the barrel, covered partially by a shroud that splits into three sections with each burst from the weapon. Just behind the barrel sits a sight that provides some magnification for the user. Behind this rests the top-mounted battery pack.[3]
Function
The shock rifle is a directed-energy weapon employed by the Banished. The weapon fires a five-round-burst of electrolasers,[3] with an effective range of at least roughly three hundred meters. The electrolasers are capable of emitting an electromagnetic pulse, and as few as three hits are capable of downing the shields on an F-41 Broadsword fighter.[1] When used against MJOLNIR GEN3 armor, shock rifles are capable of knocking out the integrated systems inside the helmet, including playing havoc with the integrated night vision device, heads-up display, energy shielding, smart link, and magnetic weapon mounts.[4] If the shock rifle is fired on a target with others tightly gathered around it, electricity can arc between the targets, dealing damage to each of them.[2] Some vehicles like the M12B Warthog and Banished Ghost can become temporarily disabled if repeatedly fired upon by the rifle.[3]
The shock rifle's top-loaded battery pack contains a charge of twenty units, five of which are rapidly spent in each burst from the weapon.[2] When fired, the shock rifle emits a characteristic sizzle sound.[4][3]
Usage
Shock rifles were widely employed by the Jiralhanae troops of the Gray Guards during Operation: WOLFE,[1] and by Escharum's forces as they fought for control of Installation 07 in 2560.[5]
Gameplay
Halo Infinite
The shock rifle is a medium-to-long-range weapon with a "magazine" size of twenty units. Five of these units are spent with each trigger pull, thus requiring the rifle to be reloaded after every four shots. It takes two body shots to kill a fully-shielded Spartan in multiplayer. However, a single burst from the shock rifle can kill a fully-shielded Spartan if all five electrolasers in the burst are headshots.[3] If fired at a living enemy with other enemies closely gathered around, the electric damage can arc between them. Its shots can also arc off of vehicles and other gameplay objects, such as the flagpoles in Capture the Flag.[2] In the event that drivable vehicles such as Ghosts or Warthogs are hit by two or more shots from a shock rifle, they will become temporarily disabled.[3]
