- Elemental Launcher: The top barrel of the rifle is designed to launch either flame or carbonite, depending on the fuel type loaded. The gun must be put to the proper setting manually, however.
- Rate of Fire: The XR Slugthrower has an impressive rate of fire for a high-caliber rifle, but is unable to go beyond semi-auto.
- Heavy: This weapon was designed to be used with the Octarchy Xeno Armor. Must have superhuman strength to utilize this rifle properly.
- Recoil: While manageable with Strength Augmenting Rigs or by stronger species, the recoil can and will break arms of standard-strength species such as humans.
- Slug Rounds: Slug rounds are far more limited in availability, meaning that the soldiers will not be able to carry as many spares with them.
- Elemental Ammo: The Elemental Ammo canisters are designed for this rifle, and this rifle only, severely limiting their availability.
After his interactions with Tathra and the Bryn'adul on Eshan, Voph began work on his Anti-Xeno task force, beginning with a weapon designed to counter the Bryn'adul in as broad terms as he could manage. What he decided on was a Slugthrower, allowing the ease of different ammo types to widen the weapon's applicability to Bryn'adul engagements. In addition to this, the elemental launcher augments the weapon's ability, adding the ability to fire a carbonite stream or a flame jet.
The weapon was designed with stopping power in mind, resulting in a rather large rifle that normal humans are incapable of wielding without assistance. This was designed in conjunction with the Xeno Armor's strength enhancing rig, so the abnormal size and weight was not an explicitly negative factor.
