Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The Z-250 Directed Energy Engagement Weapon[1], also known as the Lightrifle, is a Forerunner energy channel weapon.[2]
Overview
The lightrifle is a weapon used by Forerunner Promethean Knight units encountered on Requiem. It is a scoped, midrange to long-range weapon that normally fires a three-shot burst and a powerful, concentrated semi-automatic shot when zoomed in.[3] It seems to hold fifteen shots per magazine and fires luminescent orange hardlight rounds.[2]
Design details
This rifle possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and floating sights. Orange markings and lights are present while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; there is also a column of orange energy that runs through the center of the weapon, possibly the "barrel". These highlights and the barrel grow brighter when the weapon is fired. The sight through the scope is tinted orange and is approximately a 3x zoom.[2]
