The shock rifle is a [[directed-energy weapon]] employed by the [[Banished]] and designed for the large frames of [[Jiralhanae]] warriors. As such, the shock rifle has massive proportions, most easily seen by its prominent rear grip. Beneath this grip is a sizeable curved blade, similar to that seen on the [[Type-25 Brute Shot]]. On the forward edge of this blade is a leather-wrapped handle used for holding the rifle steady while firing. Above this is the barrel, covered partially by a shroud that splits into three sections with each burst from the weapon. Just behind the barrel sits a sight that provides some magnification for the user. Behind this rests the top-mounted battery pack.{{Ref/Generic|Id=SepTest|[[Halo Infinite Multiplayer Tech Preview#Second Tech Preview|Halo Infinite Multiplayer Tech Preview (September 2021)]]}} | |||

===Operation=== | ===Operation=== | ||
In its standard firing mode, the shock rifle fires a burst of three [[Wikipedia:Electrolaser|electrolaser]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFBloodMoon}} with an effective range of at least roughly three hundred meters.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR19}} The shock rifle also features an alternative fire mode requiring a short charge time to unleash a single powerful [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]]-inducing bolt.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}} In any of the weapon's firing modes, the electrolasers are capable of emitting an [[electromagnetic pulse]], and as few as three standard shots are capable of downing the shields on an [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighter.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR19}} When used against [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|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-linking|smart link]], and magnetic weapon mounts.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR21|HSoR|Chapter=21}} 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.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=EarlyLook|sqQMLD3Pn3Q|HALO|Halo Infinite <nowiki>|</nowiki> Multiplayer Tech Preview Early Look|D=23|M=9|Y=2021}} Some vehicles like the [[M12B Warthog]] and [[Riuctda Workshop Ghost|Banished Ghost]] can become temporarily disabled if repeatedly fired upon by the rifle.{{Ref/Reuse|SepTest}} | |||
The shock rifle's top-loaded battery pack contains a charge of power units, a quarter of which are rapidly spent in each burst from the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} When fired, the shock rifle emits a characteristic ''sizzle'' sound.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR21}}{{Ref/Reuse| | The shock rifle's top-loaded battery pack contains a charge of power units, a quarter of which are rapidly spent in each burst from the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} When fired, the shock rifle emits a characteristic ''sizzle'' sound.{{Ref/Reuse|SepTest}}{{Ref/Reuse|SOR21}} | ||

{{Quote|Let it never be said that a Jiralhanae lacks the ambition to explore what can be achieved through our minds as well as our might.|Vulcus reflects on Sicatt Workshop's progress with voltaic application devices.}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFBloodMoon}} | |||
The shock rifle was developed by [[Sicatt Workshop]] technicians aboard the [[Banished dreadnought]] ''[[Ghost of Barolon]]''. It is the latest in a line of experimental voltaic application devices derived from the fragments of Jiralhanae technological knowledge that survived [[Doisac]]'s [[First Immolation|nuclear civil war]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFPurview}} After the Sicatt Workshop technicians finished their work on the standard shock rifle, they submitted their work for [[Vulcus]] of the [[Alchemy Corps]] to review. Ultimately, Vulcus believed that the design could be developed [[Purging Shock Rifle|even further]], with his goal for the shock rifle to match precision and power such that it could take down the shields of a [[human]] [[Wikipedia:Strike fighter|strike fighter]]. The shock rifle entered service within the Banished shortly before their [[Operation: WOLFE|mission]] to [[Reach]] in [[2559]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFBloodMoon}} During the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], the shock rifle was manufactured at the [[Armory of Reckoning (location)|Armory of Reckoning]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | |||

Shock rifles were widely employed by the Jiralhanae troops of the [[Gray Guards]] during [[Operation: WOLFE]],{{Ref/Reuse|SOR19}} and by [[Escharum]]'s forces as they [[Battle for Zeta Halo|fought]] for control of [[Installation 07]] in [[2560]].{{Ref/Reuse|AugustDevUp}} The weapons are charged and maintained at local Banished armory outposts.{{Ref/Reuse|CFPurview}} | Shock rifles were widely employed by the Jiralhanae troops of the [[Gray Guards]] during [[Operation: WOLFE]],{{Ref/Reuse|SOR19}} and by [[Escharum]]'s forces as they [[Battle for Zeta Halo|fought]] for control of [[Installation 07]] in [[2560]].{{Ref/Reuse|AugustDevUp}} The weapons are charged and maintained at local Banished armory outposts.{{Ref/Reuse|CFPurview}} | ||

In the campaign, the Shock Rifle is wielded by the [[Gasgira|Skimmers]], [[Jiralhanae Sniper|Brute Sniper]]s, [[Evocati|Elite Ultra]]s and [[Regulator Sentinel]]s. However, in multiplayer, the shock rifle has a magazine size of twelve units. Three of these units are spent with each trigger pull, thus requiring the rifle to be reloaded after every four shots.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} | In the campaign, the Shock Rifle is wielded by the [[Gasgira|Skimmers]], [[Jiralhanae Sniper|Brute Sniper]]s, [[Evocati|Elite Ultra]]s and [[Regulator Sentinel]]s.
