The pulse carbine is capable of fully-automatic{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} or burst fire,{{Ref/Reuse|forge}} and is designed to quickly overwhelm targets with a barrage of superheated [[plasma]] bolts. The weapon does not have the sheer accuracy of the {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}}, but makes up for it with range, power and sheer fire rate. Additionally, the pulse carbine's projectiles are capable of tracking an enemy target.{{Ref/Game|HINF|Pulse rifle in-game weapon}} | ||
The weapon overheats after continuous fire. An indicator on the top of the weapon fills up akin to a progress bar; the indicator's light glows in different colors corresponding to the heat building up within the weapon: from yellow at low levels to red when the weapon is close to overheating. The weapon vents its heat though panels that open on either side of the weapon and the upper cowling shifting forward.{{Ref/Reuse|hinf}} | The weapon overheats after continuous fire.

The | The pulse carbine serves as the hybrid between the [[Plasma Repeater]] and the [[Battle Rifle]]. The pulse carbine fires in five-bolt bursts with each bolt consuming 0.8% charge. The bolts can track enemies, and easily strip enemy shields. The projectiles from the pulse carbine will travel slowly at first, so the wielder must aim very carefully, especially in close quarters. If fired continuously, the pulse carbine will overheat; however, the player can vent the weapon before it overheats completely. Overall, it is most effective when one keeps their distance from their targets. In the campaign, the pulse carbine is wielded by [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]]. | ||
