An Ultra Rare Level 4 REQ worth 150 REQ Points when sold, the ''Vorpal Talon''{{'}}s operation is identical to that of a normal Energy Sword, although it has some noticeable differences. It has a longer lunge range of 8.89 m (29.17 ft), which increases to 15.50 m (50.85 ft) with Smart-Link activated; these increases in range allow ''Vorpal Talon'' users to stab enemies from greater distances than before. In addition, it makes way for increased mobility by way of granting its user an additional thruster evade before recharging, which allows for easier escapes from danger; longer stabilizer duration of 4.95 seconds, useful for reaching hard-to-reach places and planning Ground Pounds more easily; and an increased jump height, facilitating even higher jumps that can be further raised with the [[Crouch Jumping]] technique. In the same manner as [[Linda-058]]'s ''Nornfang'', the ''Vorpal Talon'' comes with a built-in motion tracker that remains visible even when its user activates Smart-Link, giving them information about nearby allies and enemies. These improvements make the ''Vorpal Talon'' useful for exploring hard-to-reach places, attacking enemies from greater distances, and/or simply evading danger more easily. | An Ultra Rare Level 4 [[Requisition system|REQ]] worth 150 REQ Points when sold, the ''Vorpal Talon''{{'}}s operation is identical to that of a normal Energy Sword, although it has some noticeable differences.

The two thruster evades granted by the ''Vorpal Talon'' can be exploited to speed up the ending sequence of the final campaign mission ''Guardians'' to the point of skipping the final [[Guardian Custode|Guardian]] pulse entirely, especially in [[Cooperative play|Co-op]] while playing as [[Olympia Vale]], as she has a higher base movement speed and jump height than her allies. | The two thruster evades granted by the ''Vorpal Talon'' can be exploited to speed up the ending sequence of the final campaign mission ''Guardians'' to the point of skipping the final [[Guardian Custode|Guardian]] pulse entirely, especially in [[Cooperative play|Co-op]] while playing as [[Olympia Vale]], as she has a higher base movement speed and jump height than her allies. | ||
