— Pavium to Voridus.^[3]

Chainbreaker^[4] is a gravity mace^[1] and the signature melee weapon of Atriox,^[2] a Jiralhanae warlord and the chief of the Banished. Atriox created the energy mace from parts of a Type-2 gravity hammer.^[5] When activated, the weapon produces three red, blade-like protrusions, and like the gravity hammer, can forcibly attract individuals.^[2] The weapon acts as Atriox's symbolic scepter, also serving as the inspiration for his organization's emblem, the Mark of Atriox, when viewed from above.^[6]^[7]

Chainbreaker is available for purchase on the Xbox Live Marketplace as an avatar prop.^[8]
