'''Arbalest''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Linear fusion rifle]]. It can be acquired from [[Eva Levante]] after completing the ''Party Hard'' triumph during The Revelry event or from acquired exotic engrams.
'''Arbalest''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Kinetic]] [[Linear Fusion Rifle]]. It was obtainable from [[Eva Levante]] after completing the ''Party Hard'' triumph during [[The Revelry]] event. Due to this content no longer being in the game, Arbalest is now obtainable from Exotic [[Engram]]s.
 
==Gameplay==
Arbalest acts like a handheld [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun railgun] in that it deals high damage and is particularly effective against [[Absorption shield]]s, however it also has a low rate of fire and reload speed. It also has intrinsic anti-barrier properties, allowing the destruction of barrier champion shields without an appropriate seasonal mod.
 
==Perks==
*'''[[lightgg:2564164194|Compounding Force]]:''' Fires slugs that cause massive damage to elemental shields of enemy combatants. Strong against Barrier [[Champion]]s.
*'''[[lightgg:1467527085|Extended Barrel]]:''' Weighty barrel extension. Increases range. Decreases handling speed. Moderately controls recoil.
*'''[[lightgg:2969185026|Projection Fuse]]:''' Distance optimizations. Increases range.
*'''[[lightgg:1683379515|Disruption Break]]:''' Breaking an enemy's shield with this weapon makes them more vulnerable to Kinetic damage for a brief period.
*'''[[lightgg:3465198467|Composite Stock]]:''' This weapon has a versatile dual-purpose stock. Slightly increases stability. Slightly increases handling speed.
 
===Catalyst===
 
The [[Exotic catalyst|catalyst]] for Arbalest has a chance to randomly drop from playlist activities ([[Strike]]s, [[Nightfall]]s, [[Gambit]] and the [[Crucible]]).
 
The catalyst requires 500 enemies to be killed using Arbalest. Once completed, it will grant an additional perk and two other bonuses:
*'''[[lightgg:3096702027|Genesis]]''' - Breaking a combatant's shield with this weapon fills its magazine from reserves. Energy weapons regenerate ammo on hit when matching the damage type to the combatant's shield.
*Increases magazine size by 1
*+20 handling

==Trivia==
This weapon is a handheld [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun railgun] that is especially damning against any unit with a [[Absorption shield|shield]], be it a [[Centurionjj, [[Captain]], [[Minotaur]], [[Wizard]], [[Knight]], [[Taken]]... if your target's got an elemental shield, it can be certain that the Arbalest will deliver a world of hurt to said target. That said, its rate-of-fire and reload speed leave something to be desired.
*The weapon's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbalest namesake] is a type of large crossbow derived from medieval French usage.
 
It should be remembered that despite being mounted in the primary slot, this weapon inflicts Kinetic damage despite using Special ammunition, so if the player has a weapon in the energy/secondary slot that also consumes Special ammunition, he/she may find themselves in trouble once their resource starts to run out.
