| ==In-game information==
| | Bloodblades were also in use with the [[Banished]], with one being in the possession of [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]].{{Ref/Reuse|hor}} |
| ===''Halo 3''===
| |
| {{quote|Hidden. Active. Deadly. The Silent Shadow have been. The Silent Shadow remain.|In-game description{{Ref/Reuse|h3}}}}
| |
| The bloodblade is available in the ''Halo 3'' portion of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' as a [[Skins (Halo 3)|skin]] for the energy sword.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Halo 2: Anniversary''=== | | ==Gameplay== |
| In ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' [[multiplayer]], the Bloodblade appears as the '''Infected Energy Sword''', sometimes shortened as '''Infected Sword'''. It is exclusively used by zombies in ''Halo 2: Anniversary''{{'}}s [[Infection]] mode.

|
| ===''Halo Infinite''===
| | It can also be used as a [[Special weapons (Halo Infinite)|special weapon]] in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' after [[Jega 'Rdomnai]]'s defeat. It provides additional stat boosts even greater than that of [[Okro 'Vagaduun]]'s [[Duelist Energy Sword|Duelist sword]]. |
| {{quote|Once the personal Energy Sword of Jega 'Rdomnai—now a hard-won memento of his defeat.|In-game description{{Ref/Game|Id=forge|HINF|Forge - Elite Bloodblade description|Quote=Once the personal Energy Sword of Jega 'Rdomnai—now a hard-won memento of his defeat.}}}}

| The '''Elite Bloodblade''' is a [[Legendary variant weapons|legendary weapon]] in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. It can be acquired and wielded after the player has defeated [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] in ''[[House of Reckoning]]''. The difference with the standard energy sword is mostly in appearance; the blade features red coloration, and enemies slain by the bloodblade disintegrate like they would if killed by a [[Forerunner]] [[hard light]] weapon. It can be acquired at any [[Forward Operating Base]] following the completion of the level.
