Didact's Signet
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Didact's Signet is a special Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator made by the Ur-Didact.[1][6] ContentsOverview[edit]Design details[edit]The Didact's Signet is a named variant of the Z-180 CCR/AEM, upgraded to fire a quartet of projectiles in a diagonal square formation that have longer range, higher damage, and stronger tracking after ricochets than those of normal Scattershots. It reuses the chassis of a standard Scattershot, albeit with orange and turquoise stripes decorating the weapon, particularly around the barrel and top and rear sections of the weapon.[6] Service history[edit]During the Forerunner era, the Ur-Didact handcrafted the Didact's Signet as a reward to his most loyal Prometheans.[5] In October 2558, a copy of the weapon was discovered by Blue Team in the Gateway on Genesis during their quest to confront Cortana.[7] The weapon was later integrated into the UNSC Infinity's War Games simulations for use by Spartan-IVs.[6] Gameplay[edit]Halo 5: Guardians[edit]The Didact's Signet is a special weapon that can be found in the campaign mission The Breaking. The Didact's Signet is a Legendary Level 5 REQ that gives out 200 REQ Points when sold. It fires a quartet of fast-moving hardlight projectiles that deal extra damage, have a longer projectile range of up to 48.74 m (159.91 ft), and exhibit strong tracking behavior after ricochets. These traits make the Didact's Signet a strong tool for clearing out curved corridors and engaging enemies in tight areas, such as those in the mission The Breaking. With Smart-Link activated, it can perform a one-shot kill on targets up to 20.95 m (68.73 ft) away, outclassing even the Blaze of Glory in range. The Didact's Signet also kills a Spartan in two ricochet shots,[4] which can be further boosted to just one ricochet shot with a Damage Boost on.[6] The weapon has a maximum unscoped range of 13.73 m (45.05 ft) and a Smart-Link range of 18.13 m (59.48 ft). In Warzone Firefight simulations, Mythic Knight Battlewagon bosses, including the Knight Bannerman, commonly use the Didact's Signet. Changes from the Z-180 Scattershot[edit]
