In ''Destiny 2'', Sleeper Simulant is classed as a [[Linear Fusion Rifle]]. It has an extremely limited ammo capacity of 2 shots and a reserve of 6 more (for a total of 8) 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 ''Destiny 2'', Sleeper Simulant is classed as a [[Linear Fusion Rifle]].

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]]. | |||
Whilst [[Linear Fusion Rifle]]s fire a single energy bolt, the Sleeper Simulant's beam will fragment and disperse into five smaller beams upon striking a surface. As with its original incarnation, the Sleeper's projectiles ''can'' bounce back and strike the weapon's user. | Whilst [[Linear Fusion Rifle]]s fire a single energy bolt, the Sleeper Simulant's beam will fragment and disperse into five smaller beams upon striking a surface.
