==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Forerunner is a high damage [[Kinetic]] sidearm, unique in its use of Special ammo. This may remind Destiny 1 veterans of sidearms in that game, before they became standard primary ammo weapons with the release of Destiny 2. It also comes equipped with a short range scope for easier target acquisition. Firing at full auto, it can deal out heavy damage in short shrift, though it exhibits strong kick when fired fully auto. As a trait, tap firing the gun provides less recoil and improves accuracy on each shot.

'''A NEW CHAPTER FOR AN OLD LEGEND.'''
[[Banshee-44]] considered the [[halopedia:M6D_magnum|relic]] on his workbench and the questions on his mind; one stood out above the rest: [[halopedia:John-117|who]] were you meant for?

[[The Guardian]] who brought it to him might be willing to try a shot, untroubled by the risk of a rapid unplanned dismantle. But Banshee knew it wouldn't last through a single magazine.

Beside the relic lay a stripped-down [[Breachlight]]. He would adapt it for a larger round. Custom casings and handguard. [[Sensorium]] link scope… and he had other ideas to try as well.

It would be an homage, an offering to the creators of the original relic. A legacy.

**The name of the weapon refers to ''Halo'' being the forerunner to ''Destiny'', but also alludes to the alien [[halopedia:Forerunner|Forerunners]] of ''Halo''.

**The Rock perk appears to refer to a quote by fan-favourite character [[halopedia:Avery_Johnson|Avery Johnson]], where he jokes: ''"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-shmancy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon - and we had to share the rock!"''

** In the cave you climb to get to the Forerunner, the bottom left will display: "This cave is not a natural formation." This is a nod to Cortana saying the same thing in one of Halo: Combat Evolved's missions.
*The use of a Breachlight as the basis for Forerunner is likely a nod to that weapon's similar appearance to an M6 magnum, which was previously recognized by community members recreating the look of ''Halo'''s protagonist, [[halopedia:John-117|John-117]], better known as the Master Chief, on their Guardians.

*The Rock is currently the only Kinetic [[Grenade]] [[Ability]] in the game. It benefits [[Mod]]s in the Charged with Light family, but not in the Elemental Wells family.
