The Vestige Carbine is a type of Covenant carbine developed by the Covenant.[2]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The Vestige Carbine has an elongated barrel which was much thicker than other carbines, and appears almost claw-like.[5]
Usage[edit]
The Vestige Carbine was first introduced early in the empire's history in the Third Age of Reclamation, most notably used by warriors onboard Mjern-pattern agricultural support ships. Four Vestige Carbines were recovered from a sealed San'Shyuum vault on Qikost by Sangheili artisan-armorers Oebrin 'Chava and Silset 'Chava in January 2560. The duo intended to preserve one original model and modify two other models, leaving the fourth as a gift for their escort, Spartan Abalan.[5] With the rediscovery of the Vestige Carbine, they would be pressed into service by the Swords of Sanghelios in the Post-Covenant War conflicts.[2]
In-game information[edit]
Halo Infinite[edit]
The Vestige Carbine was added Halo Infinite in the Fall Update during Operation: Shadows. It has a 20-round magazine size and a maximum ammo capacity of 100 rounds. It kills in 7-10 shots (6 shots to break the shields and 4 unshielded bodyshots or 1 headshot).[2][6]
Production notes[edit]
- Main article: Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons § Particle beam rifle
The Vestige Carbine's design is based on multiple cut iterations of the particle beam rifle originally developed for Halo: Combat Evolved.[7] The Vestige Carbine reuses the animations for the Sicatt Workshop shock rifle.
