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. The Heatwave is capable of ricocheting rounds like the [[Scattershot]] and piercing through targets like the Halo Infinite [[Sentinel beam|Sentinel Beam]]. In the Campaign, the Heatwave is wielded by [[Aggressor Sentinel Eliminator|Sentinel Eliminators]], [[Sangheili Ultra]]s, and [[Jiralhanae Warlord|Jiralhanae Warlord Captains]].{{Ref/Reuse|gameplay}} | 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.

==Trivia== | |||
*The Heatwave's intended use of slicing through organic targets as well as its variable firing pattern which switches between horizontal and vertical orientation bears a similarity to the Plasma Cutter, a mining tool improvised as a weapon from the Dead Space series, | |||
