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.
