- "From a tactical perspective, the Slap Rifle is a Vex directed-energy weapon that fills their analog of the light infantry role. From an engineering perspective it's something much more interesting: a terminal. The Slap Rifle receives a bolt of Solar energy from somewhere (or somewhen) else and it points it at a target.
The terminal's flexibility is impressive. In non-combat conditions, the Slap Rifle seems like it might serve as a viable field transmitter, construction tool, navigational beacon, network repeater, or any of a number of other utility functions.[1] " The Slap Rifle is a Solar light infantry weapon utilized by the Vex.
Overview
The Slap Rifle is the main weapon of Vex Goblins. Much like their wielders, it is individually weak, but becomes deadly when fired in large numbers. There is no trickery to this weapon; the player should simply seek cover or thin the number of attackers to survive it. Rarely, it is found in the hands of Minotaurs, and even more rarely Hobgoblins.
Analysis suggests the Slap Rifle may be a terminal of sorts, drawing bolts of Solar energy from somewhere (or somewhen) else before pointing it at a target. In non-combat conditions, however, the Slap Rifle seems to serve as a viable field transmitter, construction tool, navigational beacon, network repeater, or any of a number of other utility functions.
Some rare, powerful Vex like Protheon, Modular Mind use a variant that fires Arc projectiles at a faster rate.
The Taken version fires Void projectiles, but otherwise functions the same. While still the main weapon of Taken Goblins, Taken Minotaurs and Taken Hobgoblins utilize it with more frequency than their base counterparts.
