Appropriately, the weapon's lore and descriptions are full of Halo references. Forerunner is based on the M6 magnums of Bungie's previous Halo series, specifically the M6D magnum of Halo: Combat Evolved that was well renowned as the most versatile weapon in the game.


With that satisfying thought in mind, the gunsmith went to work. It would be an homage, an offering to the creators of the original relic. Sensorium link scope… and he had other ideas to try as well. But Banshee knew it wouldn't last through a single magazine.īeside the relic lay a stripped-down Breechlight. The Guardian who brought it to him might be willing to try a shot, untroubled by the risk of a rapid unplanned dismantle. Banshee wished he could've heard the relic's voice, but he knew from earlier examination that it had fired its last round. The weapon was laced with fractures from a life of fire and a sleep of ice, and perhaps other, more exotic stresses. His attention drifted momentarily, drawn by Shaxx's voice booming nearby. it's like they were making a hand cannon but didn't know it yet."īanshee wondered further about the warrior who could wield such a thing. The function presented more so as an anti-material rifle. The form of the weapon suggested an oversized sidearm-a secondary weapon for a giant's hands. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.īanshee-44 considered the relic on his workbench and the questions on his mind one stood out above the rest: who were you meant for? " And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. The Rock: For several seconds after a final blow, alternate reload to consume part of your ammo reserves, converting your next thrown grenade into a fragmentation grenade.The catalyst for Forerunner is acquired by reaching reputation rank 16 with Xûr. Smooth Grip: This weapon is slightly easier to hold and aim.Pace Yourself: Tapping the trigger gives this weapon less recoil and improves accuracy.Flared Magwell: Optimized for fast reloading.Deals increased precision damage to unshielded targets. Fires full auto with increased rate of fire. Full Stop: Oversized Sidearm with extended-range, heavy-caliber rounds.Its catalyst trait provides the ability to exchange your grenade ability with a Fragmentation Grenade after a kill, at the cost of 6 ammo, which inherits any effect associated with grenades being thrown, damage being dealt with grenades or kills made with grenades. As a trait, tap firing the gun provides less recoil and improves accuracy on each shot. Firing at full auto, it can deal out heavy damage in short shrift, though it exhibits strong kick when fired fully auto. It also comes equipped with a short range scope for easier target acquisition. This may remind Destiny 1 veterans of sidearms in that game, before they became standard primary ammo weapons with the release of Destiny 2. Forerunner is a high damage Kinetic sidearm, unique in its use of Special ammo.
