Projection Rifle

"This weapon fires salvos of explosive rounds designed to incapacitate, disorient, and destroy. The weapon feeds ballistic data to each projectile at the moment of launch, coordinating the salvo for maximum effect. These weapons deal Solar damage."

- Grimoire description.

The Projection Rifle is a Cabal weapon commonly used by Centurions, some Legionaries, and rarely Psions and Phalanxes.

Overview
These weapons launch Solar explosive grenades in an arc trajectory, and may or may not be linked to the Cabal Battle Network. In Destiny 2, Cabal Minor troops tend to prefer Cabal Bronto Cannons or Cabal Slug Shotguns, while Projection Rifles are more often found in the hands of Elite or stronger enemies.

The Taken version of the weapon is found almost exclusively in the hands of Taken Centurions, now dealing Void damage with a faster rate of fire.

Dominus Ghaul and Empress Caiatl use a different variant of the Projection Rifle, which they wield one handed and can easily fire while running.

Trivia
