'''Sleeper Simulant''' is an exotic Heavy-slot [[Fusion Rifle]] acquired 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, and was forged by Rasputin to give directly to the Guardians as a result of the IKELOS subroutine. The weapon over-penetrates enemies and bounces 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]]''.

To trigger the quest to obtain the Sleeper Simulant, players need to collect four "Dark 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> | To trigger the quest to obtain the Sleeper Simulant, players need to collect four "Dark 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.

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 in to 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. | After correctly entering all four codes, the next mission, [[Shadow Call]], becomes available.

Compared to a standard fusion rifle, the Sleeper Simulant has much more range and accuracy. Instead of firing seven individual rounds 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. It's ricochet feature is best used in confined spaces, where the beam can bounce in a close enough space to hit multiple targets reliably. Each beam can inflict enough damage to kill major enemies, as well as [[Guardian]]s with damage-reducing [[super]]s active, such as [[Hammer of Sol]] (An Arc or Void [[Sword]] block however will keep a player alive). It can even penetrate closed [[Shrieker]]s. | Compared to a standard fusion rifle, the Sleeper Simulant has much more range and accuracy.
