Scourge of Fire is a special variant of the Tufasumo-pattern plasma caster, custom-built for use by the local clans of Sanghelios.[1]
OverviewEdit
Design detailsEdit
- Main article: Tufasumo-pattern plasma caster
Scourge of Fire is a specialised modification of the standard plasma casters in Covenant service, modified from the base design pattern manufactured by the Merchants of Qikost to support specialised ammunition that fires more bolts-per-shot, and does not overheat. These modifications were done by regional Sangheili clans in spite of the strictures of the old Covenant empire, which considered such modifications apostasy.[1][3] Visually, the weapon is almost identical to a standard plasma caster, distinguished by its deep blue coloration with Covenant glyphs adorning the casing - particularly at the front half of the barrel and just in front of and above the trigger area.[4]
UsageEdit
In October 2558, War Games simulations aboard the UNSC Infinity integrated the weapon for use by Spartan-IVs.[4]
In-game informationEdit
Halo 5: GuardiansEdit
Scourge of Fire is a Rare 
energy REQ that restores 
100 REQ Points to the player's RP balance when sold. It operates exactly identically to the standard Plasma Caster, although it fires two plasma bolts per-trigger pull. Rapid-firing the weapon does not overheat it.[5]
