Atropos Heavy Ammo Strand Trace Rifle The beam perpetually pulses at regular intervals (roughly one pulse per second of sustained fire) while being fired, which deals a large anount of extra damage. These pulses also cause an unraveling explosion centered on the target. Catalyst: Final blows with the unraveling explosion generate threadlings. They act as normal threadlings, but if the beam is currently pointed on a target, all threadlings generated this way focus on that target. Something kinda like this?

About the deathsinger, I use the ornament that uses ahamkara bones to cover or craft the weapon. Seeing as how powerful the song is, I find it interesting to think that it would need something particularly powerful to keep the song in check and contained. What could be better than true ahamkara bones? This is not mentioned in any lore, but I like to think something along those lines.

Hierarchy of needs has a cousin of the warmind, Rasputin, that was trying to save humanity by foreseeing the collapse, stuck inside it to stay alive (poor soteria, tragic tale)

Fun fact: The mida multi tool is a reference to Marathon. In the game, there are 3 AI made by a martian guerrilla scientist undercover, called Professor Mida. The 3 AI are Tycho, Leela and the main character, Durandal. It's either Durandal from Marathon 2/Infinite, as he was known to upgrade weapons for the player between games. Or from Tycho, who was formerly the Science AI aboard the UESC Marathon and Durandal's direct rival.

I know hierarchy of needs has an ai in it. I believe it’s an either an AI or submind of Rasputin. It was an AI located at the spire of the watcher that was able to predict the future because of something vex related with it. That’s the reasoning as to why it’s arrows track, since the ai/submind is predicting the future to allow that to happen. It’s also the same AI that ended up sending people to Neptune since it knew the collapse was going to happen and that it was the only possible way for humanity to survive. I believe the bow will also speak Russian to you, which is neat.

Oryx originally intended for the manifestation of his being, the Touch of Malice, to be wielded by his killer who would carry the same malice as he did to the universe, so as for both of them to become one and the same indistinguishable. Sadly for him, The Guardian does not hold the kind of malice Oryx needed but we still sharpen ourselves against our foes using his might, so he might get at least some kick out of it like Xol.

[@Hellspawn4u]

We have used SIVA to make outbreak perfected

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

In essence: Merciless has an AI controlling its operating system with the _motive_ to _fulfill its purpose._ The weapon fires _faster_ if the target is _not_ destroyed in the previous salvo. Thus we can infer that its _purpose_ is to destroy, and _failing_ to do so imparts _motivation_ on the AI to push its operating system _beyond_ normal parameters to do so. With each non-lethal impact, the weapon would literally tear itself apart if it wasn't limited by magazine capacity.

[@richphoenixpa]

Hierarchy of Needs and The Colony also has a AI built into it. Personally i like Hierarchy of Needs one better since it was a Rasputin protocol that was fleeing the Vex.
