Krith's Left Hand is a named variant of the T-27 SASR, modified to fire three-round energy bursts with each pull of the trigger. It uses the Beam Rifle's model but with a predominantly white body color broken up by red stripes and dark purple Covenant glyphs.<ref name="H5G">'''''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''''' - ''[[Multiplayer]]''</ref> | |||

''Krith's Left Hand'' is a Legendary Level 7 [[Requisition system|REQ]] worth 200 REQ Points when sold. Its operation is identical to that of the Beam Rifle except that it fires powerful three-round bursts with each pull of the trigger. One pull of the trigger is enough to kill a full shield, full health Spartan. In addition, it runs out of battery in 15 bursts (45 shots total). These improvements make ''Krith's Left Hand'' devastating against enemy infantry. Conversely, its powerful three-round bursts jeopardize the weapon's accuracy, especially at longer ranges, forcing the player to make full use of both Smart-Link and crouching to ensure at least 90% shot accuracy with the weapon. In addition, the weapon is unsuitable for use against [[Warzone]] bosses and vehicles, making even the ''[[Twin Jewels of Maethrillian]]'' a better choice for bosses and vehicles. | ''Krith's Left Hand'' is a Legendary Level 7 [[Requisition system|REQ]] worth 200 REQ Points when sold.

''Krith's Left Hand'' is, all in all, suitable only for anti-infantry roles. While its three-round bursts can easily kill or remove the [[energy shielding|shields]] of enemy Spartans, the weapon is burdened by its high REQ requirements (Legendary rarity, Level 7 energy) and low accuracy at higher ranges, thus making weapons like the [[M395 DMR#M395B Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR]] and [[Z-750 binary rifle|Binary Rifle]] better choices. | ''Krith's Left Hand'' is, all in all, suitable only for anti-infantry roles.
