| The '''energy garrote''' is an energy weapon used by [[Special Operations Officer]]s of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=335}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=349}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=307}} | | The '''energy garrote''' is a Covenant weapon used by [[Special Operations Sangheili]]. It is a small two-piece cylinder that splits apart in the middle, causing a green arc to form between the pieces. Much like a typical garrote wire, this arc is used to choke and burn an enemy quietly from behind.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 335'' (2009)</ref> |

| ===Design details===
| |
| Energy garrotes take the form of a small cylinder that splits apart down the middle into two pieces, with a bright-green [[plasma]] arc emitted to connect them. The energy beam is not powerful enough to cut through flesh, but does burn through the target's neck while it chokes them - allowing for silent kills in a matter of seconds.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
