'''Shrapnel Launchers''' are heavy-duty weapons employed by the [[Fallen]].
'''Shrapnel Launchers''' are heavy-duty weapons wielded by [[Fallen]] of all stripes. This includes [[Dreg]]s, [[Vandal]]s, [[Captain]]s, [[Baron]]s, [[Archon]] priests, and [[Kell]]s. The [[Devil Splicers]] use a [[SIVA]] enhanced version which deals greater damage and has higher muzzle velocity. The [[Taken]] use a version that deals [[Arc]] damage.
 
==Gameplay==
Guardians can use a wieldable version of the Shrapnel Launcher, called the [[Lord of Wolves]].

''The weapon fires loose-forged canisters of explosives and shrapnel down electromagnetic rails embedded in the barrel. [[Captain]]s favor this weapon for its intimidating presence. It deals Solar damage.''<ref>'''Destiny Tracker''' - ''[http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/enemies/fallen-arsenal Fallen Arsenal]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
The Shrapnel Launcher fires fast traveling [[Solar]] projectiles, who spread slightly while in flight, until they dissipate when reaching their maximum range. As such, wielders often try to get in close, firing on the run to disorient their targets. The weapon is favored by Fallen [[Captain]]s, who use their resilience to get in range of the enemy, as well as [[Marauder]]s and [[Stealth Vandal]]s, who use their invisibility to surround [[Guardian]]s before unleashing simultaneous volleys. The rare [[Dreg]]s with the weapons use their numbers to overwhelm foes with a hail of shots, although they have forego their [[Shock Dagger]]s in the name of firepower. [[Vandal]]s with the weapon are rare, usually employed as bodyguards by high ranking enemies.
The [[Taken]] use a version of the weapon that deals [[Arc]] damage, with a longer range and wider projectile spread. In addition to [[Taken Captain]]s, who use it much like their regular counterparts, it is also often in the hands of [[Taken Vandal]]s, who instead use it at longer ranges.
The [[Devil Splicers]] use a [[SIVA]] enhanced version which deals greater damage and has higher muzzle velocity, as well as an erratic trajectory.
Guardians can use a wieldable version of the Shrapnel Launcher, called the [[Lord of Wolves]].
==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Two of these weapons can be found inside the [[Tower#Tower Hangar|Tower]] alongside a collection of [[Cabal]] weaponry.
Two of these weapons can be found inside the [[Tower#Tower_Hangar|Tower]] alongside a collection of [[Cabal]] weaponry.  
*While the casque of the weapon appears to be maroon, the casque on the [[Lord of Wolves]] is brown
*While the [[Scorn]] have a different arsenal, one of their champions, [[Elikaa, Sworn to Vengeance]], used to wield a Shrapnel Launcher. It is unknown if it was a developer oversight or not.
*Following the release of [[Beyond Light]], Taken Shrapnel Launchers, when wielded by larger [[Ultra]] Taken Captains, began to function like regular Shrapnel Launchers, with the same sound effects and dealing Solar damage instead of the Arc damage they normally do. It is unknown if it is a developer oversight or not.
