The '''Weapon/Anti-Materiel Z-390 High-Explosive Munitions Rifle''' ('''W/AM Z-390 HEMR'''), also known as the '''incineration cannon''', is a [[Forerunner]] anti-matériel weapon originally used to combat the [[Flood]].<ref>[http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/26/The-Halo-Bulletin-92612-.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''The Halo Bulletin 9.27.12'']</ref><ref name="h4evg">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 101''</ref> It is commonly used by [[Promethean Knight|Promethean]] [[Knight Commander]]s.

The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge infected sites. [[Promethean]]s used the Incineration Cannon when assaulting a location believed to contain a [[Gravemind]], or early-forming [[Flood hive|spore mountains]], that were deemed too small for ship weapons but too large for infantry weapons.<ref name="h4evg"/> The Incineration Cannon fires five antimatter-infused streams of concentrated explosive particles,<ref name="h4evg"/> which gather into globular projectiles that oscillate along a straight trajectory and disintegrate targets when landing a killing blow. The projectiles detonate and spread upon impact with a target, ricocheting and bouncing in tall but short arc trajectories. It initially holds five whole charges at a time with one shot per charge. Each charge is automatically "loaded" after firing and cool-down. It has been described as "mixing traits of a rocket launcher, shotgun, and flamethrower."

* '''[[River of Light]]''': The ''River of Light'' is an improved Incineration Cannon that was created during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], which led to many technical advances that ultimately proved fruitless. Upgraded with increased damage, a wider projectile trajectory, 25% increased battery capacity, faster burst rate of fire, faster charging speed, and faster heat dissipation, it unleashes long bursts of [[seven]] energy blasts if charged up. Available as an Ultra Rare REQ for Level 5 energy in Warzone simulations, the ''River of Light'' is also available as the third [[special weapons|hidden weapon]] in the mission [[Reunion]].<ref name="H5G"/>

* '''Heartseeker''': The ''Heartseeker'', carried by [[Warrior-Servant]]s relentless on the hunt, is an advanced Incineration Cannon that fires slower-moving but more powerful energy charges with very strong homing behavior, 30% increased range, and a wider blast radius over the standard weapon. It is available in Warzone simulations as a Legendary REQ that costs Level 6 energy.<ref name="H5G"/>
