When ready to fire, the Skewer's spike projectile in the barrel can be seen sticking out of the weapon; underneath the barrel is a sword-length bayonet.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR12}} When used against infantry, the force of the projectile impact is enough to send the target flying back, or knock them off elevated surfaces.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} They can also be used as anti-air weapons, with the spikes capable of penetrating the armored cockpit of a [[Phantom]] dropship.{{Ref/Novel|HSOR|Section=Adjunct|Detail=Sacrifice|Quote=[Choros launched] his Skewer's immense spikes at an attacking Phantom's closed cockpit. One must have struck true, because the ship suddenly canted, slamming into the platform and then falling into darkness.}} Interestingly, when wielded by the large Skewer-bearers, it resembles an assault rifle, whilst human users instead hoist it over the shoulder like a rocket launcher.

The Skewer's design is a traditional one of [[Jiralhanae]] origin, predating the Brutes' joining of the [[Covenant]] hegemony circa [[2492]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShowcase|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/showcase-sensitive|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Showcase Sensitive|D=16|M=6|Y=2021}} Its precursor, the heavy speargun, was used by Jiralhanae in big-game hunting,{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} especially the [[dengkra]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF150}}

Skewers are operated by Banished Skewer-bearers.

The Skewer is a powerful anti-materiel rifle that fires one round, similarly to previous games' [[ARC-920 railgun|Railgun]] minus the splash damage and charge-up delay. It is capable of destroying light and air vehicles in 1-2 shots and pushing back heavy vehicles. In the campaign, the Skewer is wielded exclusively by [[Jiralhanae Sniper]]s. In singleplayer, being hit by a Jiralhanae Sniper's spike will deal a significant, but non-lethal amount of damage to the player on lower difficulties, while in multiplayer, it is capable of killing a Spartan in one hit regardless of where it hits the target.
