Sleeper Simulant is an exotic Heavy-slot Fusion Rifle acquired in The Taken King. The weapon is based on a Dark Age weapon, the DVALIN FORGE Fusion Rifles, but with much more power behind it, and was forged by Rasputin to give directly to the Guardians as a result of the IKELOS subroutine. The weapon over-penetrates enemies and bounces off walls.[1]
Acquisition
The weapon's quest line is started by a relic hunt throughout the destiny universe. Enemies will randomly drop an item with "DVALIN" in the name. Players will bring these relics back to Banshee-44, which will trigger his memories and help him to reconstruct the weapon.[2] Upon obtaining all four relics, the mission The First Firewall is open. Upon reaching the bunker where Rasputin is located, several waves of Knights and Taken Knights appear. The order in which they appear is an important clue for later. At the final wave, an Ultra Knight will appear. Kill him to obtain the Curious Transciever. Input the correct code using the order that the Knights appeared (Hive representing the top row, and Taken representing the bottom row).
After correctly entering all four codes, the next mission, Shadow Call, becomes available. The player has four minutes to reach the top of the Devil's Spire and kill the three Taken Wizards there. They will drop the IKELOS fusion core. To repair the core, the player needs to dismantle a legendary heavy weapon, complete The Archive on any difficulty, and complete a warsat event on Earth, the Moon, and Mars. Turn the fusion core in to Banshee, and he will have you wait until the next daily reset. To complete the quest, go to a 280 light version of Fallen S.A.B.E.R. to obtain a weapon frame. Give the frame to Banshee and he'll give you the Sleeper Simulant.
Gameplay
Compared to a standard fusion rifle, the Sleeper Simulant has much more range and accuracy. Instead of firing seven individual rounds 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. It's ricochet feature is best used in confined spaces, where the beam can bounce in a close enough space to hit multiple targets reliably. Each beam can inflict enough damage to kill major enemies, as well as Guardians with damage-reducing supers active, such as Hammer of Sol.
