Compared to a standard Fusion Rifle, the Sleeper Simulant has much more range and accuracy. Instead of firing seven individual bolts per burst, it only fires one. It has the pinpoint accuracy of a sniper rifle (though it uses a low-zoom sight), which is something most heavy weapons lack, and is capable of precision damage. Each beam fired has virtually unlimited range as well as no damage falloff, meaning that the damage inflicted, either at close or long range, will be all the same. On the subject matter of damage, the Sleeper Simulant inflicts extremely high damage per shot, making it a devastating weapon to use against bosses, and can even penetrate closed [[Shrieker]]s. In the [[Crucible]], it will kill any Guardian in one shot, even if that opponent has a damage-reducing Super active, such as [[Hammer of Sol]] (an Arc or Void [[Sword]] block, however, will keep a player alive). The ricochet of the laser can even come back and hit you if you aren't careful where you aim it. | Compared to a standard Fusion Rifle, the Sleeper Simulant has much more range and accuracy.

For the first phase, the player must use an IKELOS weapon (of which there are five, counting the Simulant; aside from the Hand cannon, three others may be earned from [[Escalation Protocol]]) and defeat 250 Hive and 100 Cabal on [[Mars]]' [[Hellas Basin]] region. Any kind of Hive and Cabal will qualify for the quest, though the Cabal must all be killed with Precision damage. From there, 50 Powerful Enemies must be defeated, though this can take place in any location. Once that step has been completed, the player must then complete five [[Strike]]s. From there, they must then complete three waves of [[Escalation Protocol]] (three separate instances of the first wave will suffice) and open fifteen [[Sleeper Node]]s (requiring four [[Resonant Stem]]s each, for a total of 60). Once the requisite waves have been cleared and nodes opened, the player will need to complete a 360 Light Level version of [[Will of the Thousands]]; successful completion will award a Sleeper Simulant appropriate to the player's current Light Level. | For the first phase, the player must use an IKELOS weapon (of which there are five, counting the Simulant; aside from the Hand cannon, three others may be earned from [[Escalation Protocol]]) and defeat 250 Hive and 100 Cabal on [[Mars]]' [[Hellas Basin]] region.

It has an extremely limited ammo capacity of 4 shots and a reserve of 8 more (for a total of 12) but inflicts massive [[Solar]] damage on precision hits - upwards of 3 to 4 times its baseline damage - depending upon the user's power level, target's power level, and weak point struck. It excels at quickly disposing of powerful opponents, especially those with Solar-based shields; [[Hive]] [[Wizard]]s and [[Cabal]] [[Centurion]]s are especially vulnerable to it, as it can easily blast through all of their shield and most of their health in a single shot. However, it's very weak against enemies with no weak spots such as Cabal [[Thresher]] Gunships. | ||
In [[Gambit]], this is an extremely powerful weapon against both Primevals and opposing players, the latter of which will instantly die to one body shot. While its ammo gained from heavy ammo crates was reduced in 2.0.5, it is still an effective weapon, although it competes with [[Queenbreakers' Bow|The Queenbreaker]]. | In [[Gambit]], this is an extremely powerful weapon against both Primevals and opposing players, the latter of which will instantly die to one body shot.
