'''The Wardcliff Coil''' is an exotic [[Rocket Launcher]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. It fires a massive volley of microrockets that will home in on targets at short range for a wide area of effect.

==Lore==

'''Ingenuity. Desperation. A haphazard prototype of terrible power. Such were the factors at play in the Wardcliff Incident.'''

[[Hamit|HAMIT]]'S LOG. The lead is good, but so are the [[Fallen]] tracking me. I swear on my [[Ghost]] there's a hundred camped outside. I'm cornered in the lab and they're using [[Shank]]s to run me out of ammunition. [[Future War Cult|War cultist]], arm thyself; at least it's a weapons lab. This, er, rustic device was once an experimental axion emitter, which sprays weird particles to light up the basement of the universe. Right here I've coupled the emitter to some catacaustic quark-gluon coils, which will not, due to my scrupulous safety checking, create a strangelet that devours the [[Earth]]. I cook up some pain in there, the microverse decays, and the result comes out here. If it doesn't work, well, please name the crater after me.

* This weapon may have been named for one of Croatian inventor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla Nikola Tesla]'s most infamous inventions- Wardenclyffe Tower. It was the housing for Tesla's largest electricity coil and could shoot a bolt of lightning 300 feet outward. The ornament, Tesla's Revenge, is likely a homage to the inventor.
