The '''energy cutlass''' is a [[Covenant]] [[melee]] weapon, primarily used by the [[Kig-Yar]] for light skirmishes in close-quarter situations. Used by Kig-Yar soldiers and [[piracy|pirates]] alike, the energy cutlass is considered to be very useful during boarding actions on hostile ships or in melee engagements in confined spaces.{{Ref/Reuse|enc319}} | |||
The weapon is composed of a complex arrangement of chemicals, [[plasma]], alloys, and a shard of [[blamite]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc319}} They are used primarily to dispatch enemies in close-quarters fights, especially when [[boarding]] an enemy ship.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 125''</ref> They are similar to the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[combat knife]]. These blades house a complex chemical mixture within them that causes the knife to explode into shards when embedded into a soft target, similar to a [[Type-33 Needler]] round. Before it explodes, the blade will begin to pulse with a rosy red color.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 130''</ref> | |||
The [[Unggoy]] also use them, as seen during the fighting on the [[Tiara]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 366''</ref> Energy cutlasses were used by several Kig-Yar during the [[Battle of Ariel]] in [[2552#January|January 2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Helljumper]]''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 2|Issue #2]]''</ref> | The [[Unggoy]] also use them, as seen during the fighting on the [[Tiara]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 366''</ref> Energy cutlasses were used by several Kig-Yar during the [[Battle of Ariel]] in [[2552#January|January 2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Helljumper]]''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 2|Issue #2]]''</ref> | ||
