| '''Sleeper Simulant''' is an exotic Heavy-slot [[Fusion Rifle]] introduced in ''[[The Taken King]]''. The weapon is based on a [[Dark Age]] weapon, the DVALIN FORGE [[Fusion Rifle]]s, but with much more power behind it. The weapon was forged by Rasputin to give directly to the Guardians as a result of the IKELOS subroutine. The weapon's lasers over-penetrate enemies and bounce off walls.<ref>[http://planetdestiny.com/20-reasons-taken-king/ '''Planet Destiny''' 20+ New Reasons to be Excited for TTK]</ref> | | '''Sleeper Simulant''' is an exotic Heavy-slot [[Fusion Rifle]] acquired in ''[[The Taken King]]''.

| ==Acquisition==
| | The weapon's quest line is started by a relic hunt throughout the destiny universe. Players will bring these relics back to [[Banshee-44]], which will trigger his memories and help him to reconstruct the weapon.<ref name = "GITK">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/07/the-life-of-a-destiny-exotic-designing-gjallarhorns-new-competition.aspx '''GameInformer''': ''The Life Of A Destiny Exotic: Designing Gjallarhorn's New Competition'']</ref> |
| To trigger the quest to obtain the Sleeper Simulant, players need to collect four "Golden Age Relics" that randomly drop from Major and Ultra enemies; the relics appear as Legendary Fusion Rifles (labeled "DVALIN-RAS8711-FR00x", with the "x" being a number between 1 and 4) that are added to the Mission items section of the player's inventory. These items must be turned into [[Banshee-44]].<ref name = "GITK">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/07/the-life-of-a-destiny-exotic-designing-gjallarhorns-new-competition.aspx '''GameInformer''': ''The Life Of A Destiny Exotic: Designing Gjallarhorn's New Competition'']</ref> Handing them over to Banshee-44 will also grant 200 Gunsmith reputation.

|
| Once all four relics have been turned in, logging in to the game will trigger a new mission: [[The First Firewall]]. Upon reaching the heart of [[Rasputin]]'s bunker, several waves of Hive [[Knight]]s and [[Taken Knight]]s will appear. The order in which they appear relates to codes that will be needed after the mission. At the final wave, an Ultra Hive Knight named [[Kandorak]] will appear. Kill him to obtain the [[Curious Transceiver]]. To activate it, input the correct codes based on the order that the Knights appeared (Hive representing the top row, and Taken representing the bottom row). The codes are as follows, with "1" signifying the top row and "2" signifying the bottom row:

| | | ===Support Perk:=== |
| After correctly entering all four codes, the next mission, [[Shadow Call]], becomes available. The player has four minutes to reach the top of the [[Devil's Spire]], open a chest, and kill the three [[Taken Wizard]]s there. They will drop the IKELOS Fusion Core. To repair the core, the player needs to dismantle a legendary heavy weapon, complete [[The Archive]] on any difficulty, and complete a [[Warsat]] event on [[Earth]], the [[Moon]], and [[Mars]], then select the corresponding nodes on the Core. Turn the Core into Banshee, and wait until the next daily reset. The final stage of the quest requires completing a matchmade 280 Light version of [[Fallen S.A.B.E.R.]] to obtain a weapon frame. Give the frame to Banshee and he will reward the completed Sleeper Simulant, which comes in at 290 Attack.

| ==Gameplay==
| | *Speed Reload - faster reload speed |
| Compared to a standard Fusion Rifle, the Sleeper Simulant has much more range and accuracy. Instead of firing seven individual bolts per burst, it only fires one. It has the pinpoint accuracy of a sniper rifle (though it uses a low-zoom sight), which is something most heavy weapons lack, and is capable of precision damage. Each beam fired has virtually unlimited range as well as no damage falloff, meaning that the damage inflicted, either at close or long range, will be all the same. On the subject matter of damage, the Sleeper Simulant inflicts extremely high damage per shot, making it a devastating weapon to use against bosses, and can even penetrate closed [[Shrieker]]s. In the [[Crucible]], it will kill any Guardian in one shot, even if that opponent has a damage-reducing Super active, such as [[Hammer of Sol]] (an Arc or Void [[Sword]] block, however, will keep a player alive). The ricochet of the laser can even come back and hit you if you aren't careful where you aim it.

| | | *Single Point Sling - Ready the weapon faster, and faster move speed while aiming. |

| |
| ===Acquisition===
| |
| The Sleeper Simulant can be acquired after completing the main storyline of the [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] expansion. First, players must complete the World Quest [[Data Recovery]]; completing it will reward both the [[Nascent Dawn 1/5]] and [[Violent Intel]] items, along with an [[IKELOS_HC_v1.0.1]]; the IKELOS HC is vital to acquiring the Sleeper Simulant, as Violent Intel is the first stage of [[The Machine's Gun]] questline, which ultimately rewards the player with the Sleeper Simulant.
| |
| | |
| Unlike the original, there is no puzzle required to unlock or acquire it, and far fewer steps overall, though the quest steps are moderately challenging as-of launch due to power levels.
| |
| | |
| For the first phase, the player must use an IKELOS weapon (of which there are five, counting the Simulant; aside from the Hand cannon, three others may be earned from [[Escalation Protocol]]) and defeat 250 Hive and 100 Cabal on [[Mars]]' [[Hellas Basin]] region. Any kind of Hive and Cabal will qualify for the quest, though the Cabal must all be killed with Precision damage. From there, 50 Powerful Enemies must be defeated, though this can take place in any location. Once that step has been completed, the player must then complete five [[Strike]]s. From there, they must then complete three waves of [[Escalation Protocol]] (three separate instances of the first wave will suffice) and open fifteen [[Sleeper Node]]s (requiring four [[Resonant Stem]]s each, for a total of 60). Once the requisite waves have been cleared and nodes opened, the player will need to complete a 360 Light Level version of [[Will of the Thousands]]; successful completion will award a Sleeper Simulant appropriate to the player's current Light Level. An IKELOS weapon must be equipped to earn progress on each of these steps.
| |
| | |
| ===Gameplay===
| |
| In ''Destiny 2'', Sleeper Simulant is classed as a [[Linear Fusion Rifle]]. It has an extremely limited ammo capacity of 4 shots and a reserve of 8 more (for a total of 12) but inflicts massive [[Solar]] damage on precision hits - upwards of 3 to 4 times its baseline damage - depending upon the user's power level, target's power level, and weak point struck. It excels at quickly disposing of powerful opponents, especially those with Solar-based shields; [[Hive]] [[Wizard]]s and [[Cabal]] [[Centurion]]s are especially vulnerable to it, as it can easily blast through all of their shield and most of their health in a single shot. However, it's very weak against enemies with no weak spots such as Cabal [[Thresher]] Gunships.
| |
| | |
| In [[Gambit]], this is an extremely powerful weapon against both Primevals and opposing players, the latter of which will instantly die to one body shot. While its ammo gained from heavy ammo crates was reduced in 2.0.5, it is still an effective weapon, although it competes with [[Queenbreakers' Bow|The Queenbreaker]].
| |
| | |
| Whilst [[Linear Fusion Rifle]]s fire a single energy bolt, the Sleeper Simulant's beam will fragment and disperse into five smaller beams upon striking a surface. As with its original incarnation, the Sleeper's projectiles ''can'' bounce back and strike the weapon's user.
