A Honkai: Star Rail player noticed an interesting detail with Seele's weapon. The Quantum-type character was Honkai: Star Rail's first five-star banner character when the game launched in April. Seele also broke revenue records for the whole duration of her banner.
Apart from Warp pulls, Honkai: Star Rail players first meet Seele when they reach Belobog City's Underworld in Jarilo-VI, which is the very first planet the Trailblazers visit. This feisty character is a member of Wildfire, a peacekeeping faction that replaced the Silvermane Guards stationed in the Underworld, and she's known for wielding a large scythe in battle. Seele's Quantum abilities also allow her to move swiftly and stealthily if needed.
While inspecting Seele's scythe, Honkai: Star Rail fan spartan8ter noticed that the handle was made with a bolt action rifle. In a photo shared on Reddit, they noticed details of the rifle, like its trigger, sticking out from different parts of the scythe.
In the comments, many Honkai: Star Rail players shared theories as to how Seele managed to acquire a bolt action rifle in the Underworld since the area was blocked off from the main city. One theory was that she either picked it up or stole it from the Silvermane Guards' weapon arsenal, and built her scythe around it. Another theory was that Sampo probably brought down guns and other supplies during his sneaky trips to Belobog, which could explain why characters has heavy-duty weapon, like Natasha with her grenade launcher. Meanwhile, others debated on what kind of rifle it was, with one saying it looked similar to the firearm that Bronya uses.
Overall, it does make sense for Seele and other Underworld residents to use and upcycle items from Belobog City. The Underworld is mostly an impoverished mining city with areas filled with deadly Fragmentum monsters. Many Honkai: Star Rail quests in Jarilo-VI often hint at how tough it could be for citizens to survive, and the bravery of Wildfire to keep the peace and fend off enemies.
The main story of Honkai: Star Rail might have moved on from Jarilo-VI, but it's still possible for players to go back in future updates. This was evident with the Everwinter City Museum event, where the Trailblazer was tasked to manage the newly-opened museum. Plus, the arrival of four-star character Luka in Version 1.2, who is also a Wildfire member, could signal more Belobog and Underworld quests in the future.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation 5 version launches in Q4 2023.
