The Boltshot (UNSC Z-classification: Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol/Exotic, Z-110 DEP/E)[2] is a Forerunner energy channel weapon.[6] It is the sole weapon of Promethean Watchers, and is also commonly carried by Crawlers.[4][5]
Specifications[edit]
Design details[edit]
Functioning as a close-range precision weapon, the Boltshot can disintegrate organic matter.[6] The weapon is a particle dilator and also has a burst function at close range. Following the Requiem Campaign the Prometheans modified their Boltshots to fire in bursts that are able to track enemies.[5] The Boltshot was manufactured and developed by Ferrarius Assembler Vats.[2]
The weapon possesses an angular design and a metallic casing. It appears to be held together almost entirely by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and reloading mechanics. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired. When the weapon's trigger is held, four flaps extend from the side of the weapon, activating its burst function. The flaps glow brighter as the weapon generates energy for its burst function and retract after the bolt has been released.[4]
Operational history[edit]
The Boltshot came into use after the end of the first century of the Forerunner-Flood war and remained a staple weapon for the rest of the war. It gained prominence approximately 200 years before the activation of the Halo Array.[7] A small number of Sangheili members within Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Spartan-IVs aboard the UNSC Infinity also utilized the Z-110 during the Requiem Campaign.[4] It is ranked a Common REQ in Warzone simulations and is available at Level 1 energy while giving 50 REQ points if sold.
Variants[edit]
- Closed Fist: The left hand of Endurance-of-Will, the Closed Fist is an improved Boltshot featuring a faster fire rate and 50% larger magazine than standard Boltshots with a kill time of 1.47 sec. It is classified as an Uncommon REQ in Warzone simulations, and is available at Level 2 energy while giving 75 REQ points if sold.[5]
- Open Hand: The right hand of Endurance-of-Will, the Open Hand is an advanced Boltshot that fires a swarm of fast-moving bolts with very strong homing behavior with each press of the trigger that move at the same speed, whether locking on to targets or not. It takes three bursts and seven rounds (1.32 sec) to kill a Spartan in War Games. It is classified as a Rare REQ in Warzone simulations, is available at Level 3 energy while giving 100 REQ points if sold, and can be found as the first hidden weapon in the campaign mission Osiris.[5]
