The Cabal Headhunter is a long range marksman weapon of the Cabal, encountered first in the arsenal of the Red Legion.

Gameplay[edit]

The Headhunter is a very long range Solar rifle, similar to the Vex Line Rifle. A user must aim the weapon for a while, with a visible red laser pointer to aid in target acquisition. The rifle must be charged for a second before shooting, emitting a distinct sound. The projectile is very fast and highly damaging, but a quick target is cabable of dodging it. It is commonly found in the hands of Psions of all ranks, who take pot shots and quickly find cover or reposition themselves. Rarely, it is wielded by high ranking Legionaries, who stay more exposed, but can take greater punishment and loose a shot even as they are being fired upon.

Bracus Zahn uses a variant with a green laser and slower charge speed, but even higher damage.

Trivia[edit]

A wieldable version of this sniper rifle is available as a Legendary weapon named Trophy Hunter.

 ==Trivia==
-* These sniper rifles are similar to the [[Line Rifle]]s used by the [[Vex]].
 *A wieldable version of this sniper rifle is available as a Legendary weapon named [[Trophy Hunter]].
-* In the exception of [[Bracus Zahn]], the [[Outlawed Sniper]], the [[Agraenth, Proxy|Infinite]] [[Caourg, Proxy|Forest]] [[Guurn, Proxy|Trio]], and some [[Beast Handler]]s, Cabal Headhunters are exclusively used by Red Legion Psions.
-** Zahn's Headhunter is also physically larger, deals more damage, and uses a green laser that shifts to red as he prepares to fire, giving Guardians more time to evade or seek cover.
