The '''Broadsword''' is a heavy aerospace [[vehicle]] first seen in ''[[Halo 4]]''. It is a large, heavily armed space fighter that can only be piloted by one person.
 
==Universe and lore==
{{Main|F-41 Broadsword}}
The F-41 Broadsword is a [[Misriah Armory]] designed [[space fighter]].<ref name="Guide">''[[Halo 4 Interactive Guide]]''</ref> It had been in production since the mid-2530s, but only gained widespread use in the late [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Book|Id=H4VG|[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]|Page=114}} It was present for the [[Battle for Tribute]],{{Ref/Map|H4|Landfall}} the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s commissioning,<ref>''[[Halo 4]]'', [[The Commissioning]]</ref> and was prominently used by [[John-117]] during the [[New Phoenix Incident]] in [[2557]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Midnight}} It would continue in service all the way to [[The Reclamation]] in [[2558]].{{Ref/Level|Id=guardians|H5G|Guardians}}
 
==Overview==
The Broadsword acts as the stereotypical, fast moving space fighter craft.
 
===Counterparts===
There are a few counterparts to the Broadsword. In ''Halo: Reach'', the [[Seraph]] and [[Space Banshee]] fill very similar roles on the Covenant side, while the [[Sabre]] is analogous to the Broadsword in that game. The Sabre and Seraph are usable vehicles that operate almost the same.

==Gameplay==

===First-person shooters===
{{Main|First-person shooter}}
The Broadsword is piloted in third-person with a unique [[Heads-up display]]. Weapon choice, amount of boost, and current shields are shown.
 
====Campaign====
Similar to the Sabre in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the Broadsword was only available to use in one campaign mission in ''[[Halo 4]]'', [[Midnight]].{{Ref/Reuse|gameguide}}
 
====Multiplayer====
Unusable Broadswords are background details in the ''Halo 4'' map [[Landfall]].
 
====Forge====
{{Main|Forge Objects in Halo 4/Vehicles}}
When ''Halo 4'' was added to PC in [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' the Broadsword was able to be used in [[Forge]] on certain maps. It can be found in the "Vehicles (MCC)" category on the maps ''[[Forge Island]]'', ''[[Erosion]]'', ''[[Ravine]]'' and ''[[Impact]]''.
 
====Advantages====
*High damaging. Its weapons can destroy other vehicles and infantry quickly and effectively.
 
====Disadvantages====
*The Broadsword can only accelerate. This means it cannot stop and land anywhere at any point. It is only stopped when placed in Forge or scripted campaign sequences.
 
===Table-top games===
====''Halo: Fleet Battles''====
=====UNSC Broadsword Interceptor Flight (+Sabre)=====
*Flight slots: 1 (2)
*Movement: 16" (16")
*Damage track: 2 (3)
*Systems loadout: None

==Production notes==
The vehicle was later implemented alongside a number of [[Thorage|new items]] onto the [[Forge/Halo 4|Forge]] palettes of ''[[Forge Island]]'', ''[[Ravine]]'', ''[[Erosion]]'', and ''[[Impact]]'' for the ''Halo 4'' component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.
