The Riven Mangler is a modified variant of the Ukala Workshop Mangler.[5]
Overview
Design details
- Main article: Ukala Workshop Mangler
The Riven variant of the Manger bears a painted white colouration, and fires three split-shard spike projectiles when the trigger is pulled. It has a lower rate of fire than a standard Mangler.[5]
Usage
One such weapon was used by Balkarus, a Jiralhanae Captain in the Banished during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560.[6] During the campaign, he used the weapon in a combat encounter with John-117, though was defeated by the Spartan.[7]
In-game information
In campaign, the Riven Mangler is a special weapon awarded to the player after defeating the High Value Target, Balkarus. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base within the campaign. It fires three spike projectiles with each trigger pull (killing a fully-shielded Spartan with 4 shots instead of 3 shots), with a lower rate of fire than a standard Mangler.[5]
