The [[Covenant]] and its [[Covenant remnants|splinter factions]] use a wide variety of '''weapons'''. Like most [[:Category:Covenant technology|Covenant technology]], their weapons are highly exotic in both operation and design, especially in comparison to the [[human]] arsenal. Covenant weapons exist effectively for every usage niche, ranging from close-quarters combat weapons such as the [[Sangheili]]'s emblematic [[energy sword]] to [[space warfare]] armaments capable of striking across thousands of kilometers, such as [[plasma torpedo]]es and [[energy projector]]s. Many examples of the Covenant arsenal are [[directed-energy weapon]]s, typically utilizing either [[plasma weaponry|plasma]] or [[particle beam weapon|particle beams]], and run off a battery charge. However, some Covenant weapons also use physical projectiles, such as the {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}} or the {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}; additionally, most weapons of native [[Jiralhanae]] design fire projectiles rather than energy.
