Soulfire Rifle: Difference between revisions

|type= Sniper Rifle

'''Soulfire Rifles''' are sniper rifles, first seen employed by [[Hive]] [[Adherent]]s on the battlefield, and later encountered with other [[Acolyte]]s.  

Soulfire rifles are powerful sniper rifles that are employed by [[Acolyte]]s. Guardians should take measures to avoid fire and seek nearby cover at all costs, as these rifles can cripple their shields. Similar to the red aiming laser of the [[Cabal Headhunter]] rifle, a mottled black-purple 'beam' will indicate the intended target of a Soulfire Rifle. Guardians that notice these beams converging on them should seek cover or engage in other evasive maneuvers; as with the Headhunter shots, Soulfire Rifle rounds have travel time and can be dodged.

While originally seen in the hands of the [[Grasp of Nokris]], since ''[[Forsaken]]'' and ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' Soulfire Rifles have been seen employed by Hive broods all across [[Sol]]. A variant of the Soulfire Rifle known as the '''Proto-Thorn''' is used exclusively by [[Enkaar, the Anointed]].

 

*Much like the [[Cabal Headhunter]]s, a humming noise can be heard just before they fire.
