Promethean Weaponry - Binary Rifle

Welcome to the third installment of Promethean weaponry. Today we are going to look at the Binary Rifle.

The Z-750 Binary Rifle is a devastating sniping tool. Whilst being able to reach enemies over very long distances, the sheer power of the rifle allows it to always kill an opponent in one hit, regardless of shot placement on the body. Typically used by Promethean Crawler Snipes and Promethean Knight Lancers  this weapon is the counterpart to the human and covenant sniper rifles. This powerful weapon holds 2 shots, hence that's why it is called binary, i suppose.

Next up will be the Light Rifle.

Promethean Weaponry - Suppressor

Welcome to the second installment of Promethean Weaponry. Today we are going to look at the Suppressor.

The Z-130 Suppressor is the Promethean's answer to the Assault Rifle and Storm Rifle. Firing hard-light projectiles the Suppressor dominates targets at close range due to its firing faster the longer the trigger is pressed. Having 50 rounds in a magazine this weapon allows the user a very reliable fall-back or secondary weapon to rely on.

Tune in tomorrow for a look at the Binary Rifle.

Promethean Weaponry - Bolt Shot

We now begin with a short series highlighting the Promethean weapons in Halo 4. Starting off with this little beauty, the Bolt Shot.

Essentially the Z-110 direct energy pistol is the Promethean counterpart to the Magnum Pistol and Plasma Pistol. However, it tends to operate as a close range weapon that sports a charged up shot feature, much like the Plasma Pistol and somewhat akin to the Mauler from Halo 3. As such the Bolt Shot is devastating up close. Each magazine holds up to 10 rounds.

Tune in tomorrow for the next Promethean weapon, the Suppressor.

Fragmentation Grenade - Halo 4

Fragmentation Grenade


The fragmentation grenade is your standard issue ball of death, also affectionately know as a 'Pineapple'. Skilled users can predict enemy movement (or lack of) and will ricochet off walls and obstacles in such a fashion that the grenade will land almost perfectly at the targets' feet. Grenades are used well against groups of aggressors to 'soften' them up, or to strip a single opponent of shields, prior to finishing them off with a precisely executed head shot.

Spartan Laser - Halo 4

Spartan Laser

The spartan laser is the deadliest beam action weapon in the UNSC. Paint a target, hold the trigger to charge for two seconds and just watch vehicles disappear. Skillful users are able to take down enemy infantry aggressors at short, mid and long range. The laser also has a 3x zoom function for more precise targeting. Due to the enormous levels of power used, the laser's energy cell depletes after 5 shots.

Rocket Launcher - Halo 4

Rocket Launcher

The rocket launcher is the support weapon of choice. The dual barrel tubes allow the operator two shots before reloading. New ordnance leaves behind a white smoke trail, so beware that your location is betrayed. But with this weapon in your hands, you will remain in control of the immediate area and can easily defy enemy infantry and vehicle aggressors as well. The explosive radius of each shot is not to be underestimated, danger of back-firing.
