Chainbreaker is available for purchase on the Xbox Live Marketplace as an avatar prop.<ref>[http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Halo-Wars-2-Atriox-Mace-Toy/00001000-7a4f-2203-c08e-66204d530ac2?cid=SLink '''Xbox Marketplace''': ''Halo Wars 2: Atriox Mace Toy'']</ref>
[[File:HW2 Banished PhoneSplash.jpg|thumb|250px|The top of Chainbreaker - forming the Mark of Atriox.]]
Chainbreaker shares its design with various other models of gravity mace, though differs in one primary way - rather than simply containing the [[gravitic]] impellers which enable its function (similarly to [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammers]]), Chainbreaker was forged by Atriox following his rebellion during the [[Algolis Invasion]]. At the behest of the [[Covenant]], the [[Sangheili]] executioner [[Itho 'Hesiikee]] was tasked with eliminating Atriox - though was ultimately killed in the ensuing battle. Following this, Atriox took 'Hesiikee's [[Energy sword (fiction)|energy sword]] as a trophy and reforged its components, integrating them into the gravity mace's core architecture.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
As such, the mace additionally sports three red energy blades protruding at 120<sup>o</sup> angles - when viewed from above. These blades are positioned as such to evoke the imagery of [[Doisac]] and its three moons - [[Soirapt]], [[Warial]], and [[Teash]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This imagery also serves as the basis of the [[Mark of Atriox]] - the emblem of the [[Banished]] - and as a symbolic scepter of Atriox himself.{{Ref/Site|Id=CUBurn|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com//en-us/news/burn-baby-burn|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Burn Baby Burn|D=18|M=08|Y=2020}}{{Ref/Twitter|JeremyCook3D|834551465536413696|Jeremy Cook|Quote=I made more Phone splashes for you. One hints at the origins of the banished logo ;) same drill, crop width, enjoy.|D=22|M=11|Y=2022}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/R4V3W|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo Wars 2|D=22|M=11|Y=2022}} The blades are aided in their combat effectiveness by the aforementioned gravity field manipulation cores, which allow the weapon to cause gravitic disruptions when it hits targets - or be used to forcibly pull objects and individuals toward the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Level|HW2|The Signal}}{{Ref/Level|HINF|Warship Gbraakon}}
 
==Production notes==
The Mark of Atriox, the seal of the Banished as a whole, was based on the impact that Chainbreaker would make to players in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]''. The mace's design was based on branding and royal seals.{{Ref/Reuse|CUBurn}} Early concept art for the weapon suggested the consideration that Atriox may have hand-crafted the whole weapon from old gravity hammer components, though this has yet to be followed up in full canon.{{Ref/Generic|[[:File:HW2 Atriox Concept Sheet.jpg|Halo Wars 2 Atriox concept sheet]]|Quote="Carry a big stick" - Atriox' custom mace (which he made from parts of a Grav hammer. His one-off signature weapon.?)}}
