The HVAP Wraith is a very powerful Minigun, it has a 300 round drum magazine and can hold a total of 900 rounds. The Wraith's secondary fire is a frontal shield which is very useful for shielding squad mates from incoming fire. Bullets can be shot out of the shield, but not into it.

Because of the Wraith's high rate of fire it is very inaccurate and is best used in short powerful bursts of fire. The Wraith was used by one of the Sentinels, Joseph Capelli.

[edit] Co-op

In Co-op the Wraith is used by the Soldier Class, which he/she uses it to suck up most of the damage for their team.

[edit] Trivia

• In Resistance 2, at Cocodrie, Louisiana, in the large boat at the docks, a Black Ops soldier can be discovered with a Wraith's ammo drum magazine. Most people would see it and wonder what it is, but after close examination, it is exactly what a Wraith drum mag would look like that is not in the gun. If you pick up a HVAP Wraith and deplete some bullets, however, it is impossible to collect the drum mag for use in the minigun.

• On Popular Technologies, prior to the release of Resistance 2 the HVAP Wraith was previously called the "H-VAP Janus Minigun".
