Fabian Strategy – Auto Rifle
- Masse Control – Kills with this weapon grant brief bonus damage
- Frontlines – This weapon has improved handling, stability, and rate of fire when enemies are close
- Life Support – Kills with this weapon while severely wounded have a chance to trigger health regeneration
The Fabian strategy comes from ancient Rome, which is a war of attrition by inflicting minor annoyances on the opponent while avoiding a decisive battle. This is how the Romans kept Hannibal at bay. The one with the elephants, not the one with the mask.
The auto rifle is a typical assault weapon for front-line use. The auto rifle is supposed to be used at close range, according to Bungie. It could become an effective PvP weapon if it can assert itself against strong competition. It will hardly play a role in PvE.
The Fabian Strategy is tied to a quest.
