Prophets' Bane: Difference between revisions

The ''Prophets' Bane'' is a [[Mythic weapon|mythic]] melee weapon in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. In the [[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta|multiplayer beta]], it was featured on the map [[Truth]] as an ordinary weapon spawn in the Top Mid platform; it was the only mythic weapon available in the beta, and until the release of [[Hammer Storm]]'s [[M6D magnum|M6D]], the only mythic weapon available in Arena. In the final release, it is available in [[Warzone]] as a [[Requisition system|Legendary REQ]] that costs Level 6 energy to use. It is also available on the campaign mission [[Osiris (level)|Osiris]] if the player shoots [[seven]] [[combat knife|combat knives]] to unlock [[Flaming Knives on Osiris|a hidden Easter Egg]].

The weapon can be wielded exactly as a regular energy sword. It gives the player a passive movement buff when wielded, allowing the user to traverse distances much quicker. Additionally the lunge distance is greatly increased when zoomed in at the expense of the field of view, the motion tracker and the ability to [[Sprint]].<ref>'''HaloFest 2014'''</ref> In the final version of the game, it is a legendary-tier req which comes with a built-in active camouflage generator that remains powered as long as the weapon is equipped. This function does not work if the sword runs out of power.
