The shock rifle is a Banished directed-energy rifle.[1][2]
Overview
Design details
The shock rifle is a directed-energy weapon employed by the Banished. The weapon fires an electrolaser with an effective range of at least roughly three hundred meters. The electrolasers are capable of emitting an electromagnetic pulse, and as few as three hits are capable of downing the shields on an F-41 Broadsword fighter.[1] When used against MJOLNIR GEN3 armor, shock rifles are capable of knocking out the integrated systems inside the helmet, including playing havoc with the integrated night vision device, heads-up display, energy shielding, smart link, and magnetic weapon mounts.[3] If the shock rifle is fired on a target with others tightly gathered around it, electricity can arc between the targets, dealing damage to each of them.[2]
The shock rifle's top-loaded battery pack contains a charge of twenty units, five of which are spent in each burst from the weapon.[2] When fired, the shock rifle emits a characteristic sizzle sound.[3]
Usage
Shock rifles were widely employed by the Jiralhanae troops of the Gray Guards during Operation: WOLFE,[1] and by Escharum's forces as they fought for control of Installation 07 in 2560.[4]
Gameplay
Halo Infinite
The shock rifle is a medium-to-long-range weapon with a "magazine" size of twenty units. Five of these units are spent with each trigger pull, thus requiring the rifle to be reloaded after every four shots. It takes 2 shots to kill a fully shielded Spartan in multiplayer. If fired at a living enemy with other enemies closely gathered around, the electric damage can arc between them. Its shots can also arc off of vehicles and other gameplay objects, such as the flagpoles in Capture the Flag.[2]
