Unique Variants[]

  • A special electromagnetic variant of the Equinox can be obtained during the mission Eyewitness. It is not treated as a unique weapon, but it has an uncommon white color scheme (see Gallery) and the Electromagnetic internal attachment, converting it into a non-lethal weapon. Interestingly, the color scheme of this variant is much more consistent with other CombaTech weapons, whereas the regular black variant is an outlier among this manufacturer's mostly white weapons with blue and orange accents.

Locations[]

  • Often used by common Va'ruun zealots, such as those encountered on the first planet during the Into the Unknown mission. Also pretty common among Spacers and Ecliptics.
  • Spawns in weapon crates, along with a small amount of 3kV laser ammo.
  • The U.C. issue them as standard equipment for their security forces on Jemison, and they pop up on U.C. controlled worlds extremely regularly, with only the Grendel appearing as often.
