Considered to be a brutal masterpiece of [[Forerunner]] weaponcraft,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the binary rifle is a weapon used by [[Promethean Knight]] units and certain types of [[Promethean Crawler|Crawler]] units encountered on [[Requiem]]. Originally designed to combat the [[Flood]] at extremely long ranges, the Z-750 binary rifle is equipped with twin, core-mounted particle accelerators which fire ionized particle beams containing jacketed antimatter particles. The incredible power and accuracy of this weapon make it highly lethal, allowing it to neutralize most targets with a single shot, disintegrating the body of the target.{{Ref/Reuse|intel}} | Considered to be a brutal masterpiece of [[Forerunner]] weaponcraft,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the binary rifle is a weapon used by [[Promethean Knight]] units and certain types of [[Promethean Crawler|Crawler]] units encountered on [[Requiem]].

The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and floating sights. 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. The sight through the scope is tinted orange and has two zoom levels, 5× and 10×. The rifle emits a highly visible orange beam from its barrel when aiming, allowing opponents to trace the user's location.{{Ref/Reuse|Binary GP}} The Binary Rifle was manufactured and developed by [[Ferrarius Assembler Vats]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22| | The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing.

Sometime after the events on [[Requiem]] in [[2558]], models of the binary rifle have been encountered that fire a concentrated beam of energy, instead of just firing single shots.<ref name="LAL">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-locke-load '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder - Locke and Load'']</ref> | Sometime after the events on [[Requiem]] in [[2558]], models of the binary rifle have been encountered that fire a concentrated beam of energy, instead of just firing single shots.<ref name="LAL">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-locke-load '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder - Locke and Load'']</ref> | ||
