This page is al about the covenant weapons. This won't have any of the brute weapons. Those will have their own page.
The plasma rifle is one of the Elites most used weapons. It is effective at about 5 to 20 feet away. It can take down shields like nobodies business. It can be dual wielded.
It is the covenant equivalent of the battle rifle. It has a medium range and a good clip. Sem-auto fire and can also take down shields really quickly.
Covenant equivalent of the pistol. It has about 125 shots before running out of batteries. It can also be charged up for a large blast that overheats and uses up a tremendous amount of energy to take down shields quickly.
The Needler is a unique close range weapon. It fires little crystalline needles that track its target. When a bunch hit their target they explode with enough force to kill. (If only a few needles hit the target they will only do a little damage.)
This is the Covenant sniper rifle. It has bout 10-12 shots. A X5 or X10 scope. Can fire 3 times rapidly before it over heats. Can't be reloaded.
