Heatwave: Difference between revisions

Designed by the [[Forerunner]]s, the Heatwave was utilized by [[Warrior-Servant]]s before the [[Halo Array]]'s [[Great Purification|activation]] and the [[ecumene]]'s self-banishment from [[Milky Way|the galaxy]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFPurview}}. During the [[Installation 07 conflict]], [[Aggressor Sentinel Eliminator|Aggressor Sentinel Eliminators]] were manufactured wielding the Heatwave. It was also salvaged and employed by high ranking [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]].{{Ref/Generic|Id=HF|[[Halo Infinite]]}}

The Heatwave does relatively low damage per shot to enemy players, but combined with its high rate of fire and unique alternate firing mode, is a formidable power weapon in the hands of skilled players. A common strategy with the Heatwave is to combine a single shot with melee for quick kills. The weapon’s effectiveness is particularly dependent on how many bolts hit the intended target, as well as how far away the player is from the intended target.{{Ref/Reuse|Test}} The Heatwave is capable of ricocheting rounds like the [[Scattershot]] and piercing through targets like the Halo Infinite [[Sentinel beam|Sentinel Beam]]. In campaign, the Heatwave is wielded by [[Aggressor Sentinel Eliminator|Aggressor Sentinel Eliminators]], [[Sangheili Ultra|Elite Ultras]], and [[Jiralhanae Officer|Brute Officers]].
