'''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>

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.

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]].

*The Exotic perk for this weapon in Destiny 2 is named ''Dornröschen'', a German [[wikipedia:Dornröschen|opera]] from 1902 based upon the story of the ''Sleeping Beauty''.

*In ''Destiny 2'', the Sleeper Simulant is considered an IKELOS weapon, meaning that it can be used to progress its own acquisition quest if transferred to another character.
