The Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon[1], also called the Suppressor, is a fully automatic Forerunner energy weapon.[2] It was utilized by Promethean Knights during the Battle of Requiem. [3]
Overview
The Suppressor is a fully automatic weapon that fires bolts of hard light in rapid succession. Its high rate of fire lead to its widespread use among Forerunner soldiers during the Forerunner-Flood War. It fires in a method similar to the original assault rifle in Halo: Combat Evolved.[4]
Design details
The weapon 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. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired.[1]
Strategies
Pros
- Large magazine size
- Deals large amounts of damage at close range.
- Can easily kill shield-less enemies within seconds.
Cons
- While the Suppressor provides a large clip size and close range damage, it holds little to no accuracy at long range (even with short controlled bursts).
- Reload time.
