The ''Didact's Signet'' is a named variant of the Z-180 CCR/AEM, upgraded to fire a quartet of projectiles in a diagonal square formation that have longer range, higher damage, and stronger tracking after ricochets than those of normal Scattershots. It reuses the chassis of a standard Scattershot, albeit with orange and turquoise stripes decorating the weapon, particularly around the barrel and top and rear sections of the weapon.<ref name="H5G"/>

During the Forerunner era, the Ur-Didact handcrafted the ''Didact's Signet'' as a reward to his most loyal [[Promethean]]s.<ref name="REQ"/>

In [[2558#October|October 2558]], a copy of the weapon was discovered by [[Blue Team]] in the [[Gateway]] on [[Genesis]] during their quest to confront [[Cortana]].<ref name="TB">'''''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''''' - campaign level, ''[[The Breaking]]''</ref> The weapon was later integrated into the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[War Games]] simulations for use by [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]].<ref name="H5G"/>

The ''Didact's Signet'' is a Legendary Level 5 [[Requisition system|REQ]] that gives out 200 REQ Points when sold. It fires a quartet of fast-moving [[hardlight]] projectiles that deal extra damage, have a longer projectile range of up to 48.74&nbsp;m (159.91&nbsp;ft), travel in a tetragonal formation, and exhibit strong tracking behavior after ricochets. These traits make the ''Didact's Signet'' a strong tool for clearing out curved corridors and engaging enemies in tight areas, such as those in the mission ''The Breaking''. With Smart-Link activated, it can perform a one-shot kill on targets up to 20.95&nbsp;m (68.73&nbsp;ft) away, outclassing even the ''[[Blaze of Glory]]'' in range. The ''Didact's Signet'' also kills a Spartan in two ricochet shots,<ref name="analysis"/> which can be further boosted to just one ricochet shot with a [[Damage Boost]] on.<ref name="H5G"/> The weapon has a maximum unscoped range of 13.73&nbsp;m (45.05&nbsp;ft) and a Smart-Link range of 18.13&nbsp;m (59.48&nbsp;ft).
