* '''[[Void's Tear]]''': The ''Void's Tear'' is an advanced T-54D that features overcharged shots that create an unstable gravimetric vortex by superheating exotic nuclear isomers. At the point of impact, the overcharged shot pulls in nearby objects and then explodes. Normal shots also yank back weapons they hit. A direct, fully charged shot where a [[Spartan]] is pulled into the blast will kill in a single hit. Unlike other Plasma Pistol variants and the [[Z-390 incineration cannon|Incineration Cannon]], keeping the ''Void's Tear'' charged for too long does not deplete the battery. It is classified as a Rare REQ and can be summoned in Warzone at Level 4 energy.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
