{{Quote|The Wire Rifle utilizes shock cores to charge thin wires of an exotic metal, converting them into Arc-infused molten shards with an extraordinary muzzle velocity.|Grimoire Description<ref>'''[[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Arsenal#Wire Rifle|Grimoire: Wire Rifle]]'''</ref>}}
'''Wire Rifles''' are [[Sniper Rifle]]s used by the [[Fallen]] to flush out and suppress enemy forces.


'''Wire Rifles''' are used by [[Fallen]] [[Vandal]]s to flush out and suppress enemy forces.
==Gameplay==
The Wire Rifle fires a high-velocity [[Arc]] bolt that punches through [[Guardian]] shields at long range, so using cover is advised. The weapon must charge for a second before firing, causing it to emit a recognizable sound and blue flash, which an attentive player can use to predict the attack and dodge it. The weapon is found almost exclusively in the hands of [[Vandal]]s or mounted on the chassis of [[Tracer Shank]]s, though it is also the preferred weapon of some large [[Captain]]s, like the [[Technocrat's Assistant]]s.


==Grimoire description==
Some [[Heavy Shank]]s, like [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]], can mount a [[Solar]] variant of this weapon.

==Gameplay==
[[Taken Vandal]]s with Wire Rifles have their damage type changed to Solar, and can fire the weapon faster, though with lower precision.
This weapon is utilized by Vandals with particularly good aim. It fires a high-velocity Arc bolt that punches through [[Guardian]] shields at long range, so using cover is advised.


Guardians can use a wieldable version of the Wire Rifle, called the [[Queenbreakers' Bow]].
The [[SIVA]] infused variant used by [[Splicer Vandal]]s fires in three-round Solar bursts with an erratic trajectory, making it harder to track the shooter.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Wire Rifle is seemingly compatible with an unspecified caliber of ammunition produced by [[Tex Mechanica]]. Evidence (or more likely an oversight by a developer.) of this is located in the [[Tangled Shore]], where one such rifle lays in a vantage point within a foundry, overlooking [[Sorik's Cut]].
