The weapon possesses an angular design and a metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and reloading mechanics. Red 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.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy5cns3AhkE '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 4 Incineration Cannon, Binary Rifle'']</ref> The weapon features an integrated optical scope for targeting accuracy. The Incineration Cannon was manufactured and developed by [[Ferrarius Assembler Vats]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=393}} | |||

The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge Flood-infected sites. [[Promethean]]s used the Incineration Cannon when assaulting a location believed to contain a [[Gravemind]], or early-forming [[Flood hive|spore mountains]], that were deemed too small for ship weapons but too large for infantry weapons.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} The Incineration Cannon fires five antimatter-infused streams of concentrated explosive particles,{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} which gather into globular projectiles that oscillate along a straight trajectory and disintegrate targets when landing a killing blow. The projectiles detonate and spread upon impact with a target, ricocheting and bouncing in tall but short arc trajectories. It initially holds five whole charges at a time with one shot per charge. Each charge is automatically "loaded" after firing and cool-down. It has been described as "mixing traits of a rocket launcher, shotgun, and flamethrower." | The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge Flood-infected sites.

* '''[[River of Light]]''': The ''River of Light'' is an improved Incineration Cannon that was created during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], which led to many technical advances that ultimately proved fruitless. Upgraded with increased damage, a wider projectile trajectory, 25% increased battery capacity, faster burst rate of fire, faster charging speed, and faster heat dissipation, it unleashes long bursts of [[seven]] energy blasts if charged up. Available as an Ultra Rare REQ for Level 5 energy in Warzone simulations, the ''River of Light'' is also available as the third [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|hidden weapon]] in the mission [[Reunion]].{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} | * '''[[River of Light]]''': The ''River of Light'' is an improved Incineration Cannon that was created during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], which led to many technical advances that ultimately proved fruitless.

* '''[[Heartseeker]]''': The ''Heartseeker'', carried by [[Warrior-Servant]]s relentless on the hunt, is an advanced Incineration Cannon that fires slower-moving but more powerful energy charges with very strong homing behavior, 30% increased range, and a wider blast radius over the standard weapon. It is available in Warzone simulations as a Legendary REQ that costs Level 6 energy.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} | * '''[[Heartseeker]]''': The ''Heartseeker'', carried by [[Warrior-Servant]]s relentless on the hunt, is an advanced Incineration Cannon that fires slower-moving but more powerful energy charges with very strong homing behavior, 30% increased range, and a wider blast radius over the standard weapon.
