A new chapter for an old legend.
The Forerunner is an Exotic Sidearm which is believed to be a tribute to Halo’s “Magnum” being seemingly similar in concept and design.
This weapon can fire up to 200 rounds per minute with a magazine size of 12 rounds, capable of firing automatic or semi-automatic shots.
Players can utilize this Exotic Sidearm for its powerful semi-automatic shots for more accuracy or by unleashed hell with a full auto clip.
