The | ==Overview== | ||
===Design details=== | |||
The Cindershot fires ionized particle grenades consisting of "hyper-charged splinter cores", which explode seconds after launching, damaging anything caught in its explosion.{{Ref/Reuse|FF}} When fired while the optics are engaged, the weapon is able to guide the projectile with its aim, allowing the operator to manually guide the projectile onto a target.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
When reloading, the front of the Cindershot is pulled back, allowing more hard-light grenades to move to the front of the barrel, before it snaps back to its original position.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} | |||
===Variants=== | |||
*'''[[Backdraft Cindershot]]''': A white-painted Cindershot variant which employs a modified firing core with three-phase sequential detonation.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} It deals significantly more damage per shot than its standard counterpart. Carried by [[Myriad]] during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], though it's unknown how the [[Mgalekgolo]] pair used it in combat. | |||

The Cindershot is a hardlight grenade launcher that serves a similar role to that of the {{Pattern|Tufasumo|plasma caster}}, but its explosion pulls in targets in close proximity. The Cindershot has alt-fire mode that allows the projectile to follow the wielder's direction. The Cindershot is capable of killing a Spartan in 2 direct explosions. | The Cindershot is a hardlight grenade launcher that serves a similar role to that of the {{Pattern|Tufasumo|plasma caster}}, but its explosion pulls in targets in close proximity.
