One look at [[The 4th Horseman]], and the care taken in crafting it, points to the old trophy-driven traditions of the hunt, but this blunt force destroyer wasn't built for just any game. Its precision tuning allows for full-auto firing, while measured impact timing provides an extra kick at the tail end of each magazine—a needed fail safe designed specifically for the weapon's intended prey, the biggest game in the system, the [[Cabal]]. | One look at [[The 4th Horseman]], and the care taken in crafting it, points to the old trophy-driven traditions of the hunt, but this blunt force destroyer wasn't built for just any game.

Amanda Holliday was born on the road, when the City was nothing more than a whispered prayer. Their only protection was the weapons they could scavenge, build or modify. Weapons like her mother's two-barrel shotgun, with its black and gold filigree far too fine for the world around it. They called it the Chaperone. | [[Amanda Holliday]] was born on the road, when the City was nothing more than a whispered prayer.

That Chaperone lies in a shallow grave with its last owner, but Amanda recalls every detail of its design. And via a partnership with the gunsmiths of Tex Mechanica, she's brought the Chaperone back to life. Though the new weapon is much more powerful than the cantankerous relic the Hollidays used on the road, it bears the appearance, and the name, of the Chaperone that saw the one surviving Holliday safely to the Last City. | That Chaperone lies in a shallow grave with its last owner, but Amanda recalls every detail of its design.

Advancements in directed energy disbursement, gained through the discovery of Golden Age research, led to the creation of stable, field-ready energy-based weaponry. The first implementation of this technology comes in the form of the Fusion Rifle. Users must hold the trigger down for a few moments to charge the weapon before firing. | Advancements in directed energy disbursement, gained through the discovery of [[Golden Age]] research, led to the creation of stable, field-ready energy-based weaponry.

Fireteam Tuyet died in the Ishtar Sink, hunting the secrets of the Vex.

But their sacrifice was not in vain. The data they gathered helped forge the Pocket Infinity. Properly modified, the weapon should be capable of devastating output on just a single charge cycle. | But their sacrifice was not in vain.

The Infinity's mechanisms have proven difficult, if not impossible, to replicate en masse. It is conceivable that the weapon draws its energy from the Vex networks...an ominous possibility. So be wary with it. | The Infinity's mechanisms have proven difficult, if not impossible, to replicate en masse.

Sharp reflexes keep you alive on the frontier - but no matter how fast you are, a fusion rifle can only charge so quickly. Enter the Plan C. When you draw the weapon, fast-rise capacitors and a smart induction system prime for firing. The 'ready fire' state only lasts a few moments - but in a gunfight, those moments matter. | Sharp reflexes keep you alive on the frontier - but no matter how fast you are, a fusion rifle can only charge so quickly.

"Queenbreaker" was the label given to the Fallen who first rose to betray the Queen. Their coordinated attempt on Her Grace's life was quick and violent. Most of the Queenbreakers were eliminated, their line rifles taken as trophies.

Known as Queenbreakers' Bows, the very weapons once used in an effort to assassinate the Queen of the Reef are now prized possessions for Guardians—not only for their storied history, but for the chance to get their hands on fully functional Fallen weaponry. | Known as [[Queenbreakers' Bow|Queenbreakers' Bows]], the very weapons once used in an effort to assassinate the Queen of the [[Reef]] are now prized possessions for Guardians—not only for their storied history, but for the chance to get their hands on fully functional Fallen weaponry. | ||

This groundbreaking weapon uses electroencephalography to draw energy from the wielder's neural activity. It can even, if a certain threshold is met, convert that energy into matter to be used as concussive ammunition. | This groundbreaking weapon uses electroencephalography to draw energy from the wielder's neural activity.
