*[[Bad Juju]]- mid-impact pulse rifle with a main perk that reloads the magazine whenever the wielder gets a kill. Kills with the weapon also grant bonus super energy, making it both an excellent gun to use alongside the [[Obsidian Mind]] helmet and a gun to consider using if you know you'll be facing a lot of low-level enemies to quickly munch through.

*[[Red Death]]- Slow-firing pulse rifle that regenerates health to the wielder whenever they  get a kill, and also increasing reload speed depending on the amount of enemies killed before reloading. This gun is especially useful for activities and encounters that restrict health regeneration, such as the [[Crota]] encounter and any activity that has the modifier "exposure".

*[[Vigilance Wing]] - Slow-firing pulse rifle that shoots in five-round bursts as opposed to the usual three. The main perks grant bonus health regeneration and movement speed if they are the last person alive in their fireteam. The gun is very specialized for team play and benefits heavily from staying together in a group, as it is a primarily Pvp-focused gun.
*[[Graviton Lance]] - A unique pulse rifle that fires in two-round bursts. The intrinsic perk "Black Hole"  means that the second bullet of a burst deals multiple times more damage than the other first (approximately 5x) and has no damage falloff. The other special perk, "Cosmology", detonates targets upon killing them, kind of like the "Cursebringer" perk from the [[Necrochasm]], as well as spawning seeking void orbs.

==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of Pulse Rifles}}
*Most Pulse rifles lack a cocking animation in their reloads.
*The staple of a triple-shot burst rifle can be traced back to the [http://www.halopedia.org/BR55_battle_rifle Battle rifles] of [[Bungie]]'s ''Halo'' series. In real-life, the modern idea can be traced back to around the era of the Vietnam War, though most guns that attempted this design were wildly impractical and unstable at the time.
*Some pulse rifles, particularly Psi models with drum mags, have their payload measurements printed on the magazine. They fire 5.56mm rounds.
