The '''Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol/Exotic''' ('''Z-110 DEP/E'''),<ref name="bulletin92612">[http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/26/The-Halo-Bulletin-92612-.aspx '''Waypoint''' - ''The Halo Bulletin: 9.26.12'']</ref> commonly known as the '''Boltshot''', is a [[Forerunner]] [[Directed-energy weapon|energy channel weapon]]. It is the sole weapon of [[Promethean]] [[Watcher]]s, and is also commonly carried by [[Promethean Crawler|Crawler]]s.

=== Operational history ===

The Boltshot came into use after the end of the first century of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] and remained a staple weapon for the rest of the war. It gained prominence approximately 200 years before the activation of the [[Halo Array]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 96''</ref> A small number of Sangheili members within [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and [[Spartan-IV]]s aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} also utilized the Z-110 during the [[Requiem Campaign]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops'''</ref> It is ranked a Common REQ in [[Warzone]] simulations and is available at [[Requisition system|Level 1 energy]] while giving 50 REQ points if sold.

Functioning as a close-range precision weapon, the Boltshot can disintegrate organic matter.{{Ref/Reuse|bulletin92612}} The weapon is a particle dilator and also has a burst function at close range. Following the [[Requiem Campaign]] the [[Promethean]]s modified their Boltshots to fire in bursts that are able to track enemies.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> The Boltshot was manufactured and developed by [[Ferrarius Assembler Vats]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=391}}

The weapon possesses an angular design and a metallic casing. It appears to be held together almost entirely by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and reloading mechanics. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired. When the weapon's trigger is held, four flaps extend from the side of the weapon, activating its burst function. The flaps glow brighter as the weapon generates energy for its burst function and retract after the bolt has been released.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcn94PBn-4s&feature=plcp '''YouTube''' - ''Boltshot/Suppressor Gameplay'']</ref>

It is classified as an Uncommon REQ in Warzone simulations, and is available at Level 2 energy while giving 75 REQ points if sold.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

* '''[[Open Hand]]''': The right hand of Endurance-of-Will, the ''Open Hand'' is an advanced Boltshot that fires a swarm of fast-moving bolts with very strong homing behavior with each press of the trigger that move at the same speed, whether locking on to targets or not. It takes three bursts and [[seven]] rounds (1.32 sec) to kill a Spartan in [[War Games]]. It is classified as a Rare REQ in Warzone simulations, is available at Level 3 energy while giving 100 REQ points if sold, and can be found as the first [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|hidden weapon]] in the campaign mission [[Osiris (level)|Osiris]].{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
