  • Supercharged Battery icon.png Supercharged Battery — Collecting an Orb of Power grants a period of maximum power that starts with an automatic reload. Sustained fire in this mode suppresses targets.

    • Increases Stability.

Notes

  • Harmonic Laser causes Wavesplitter's damage output to oscillate among three different levels as the weapon is fired.
  • Supercharged Battery forces an automatic reload and locks damage output to its maximum value for a short time whenever the player collects an Orb of Light.
  • Wavesplitter was previously a PS4 exclusive weapon. It was released to all consoles with the release of Shadowkeep.

Lore

From the makers of the Coldheart comes the latest in breakthrough City Age technology: the Wavesplitter. Here are the three most frequently asked questions we get about our revolutionary weaponized sound system.

Q: If the Wavesplitter fires sound waves, does it need ammo packs?

A: The Wavesplitter does need ammo packs, but the onboard matter transmuter turns that ammo into electrical energy that powers the waveform emitter.

Q: What does it sound like when you're hit by it?

A: Our Guardian testers give us many different answers. Some say it sounds like a scream you hear in your bones. Others say it sounds like a dying star. Still others say it reminds them of a knife shaped like a B flat.

Q: Can the Wavesplitter be used as a musical instrument?

A: The Wavesplitter was not designed to be a musical instrument. That said, we at Omolon are in the business of giving Guardians options, not taking them away.
