Some [[Covenant]] weapons also possess a sort of built-in automatic guidance lock, such as the {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}} and the [[Type-33 Needler]].{{Ref/Reuse|H2}} [[Space fighter|Strikecraft]] such as the [[Morsam-pattern Seraph|type-31 Morsam-pattern Seraph]], carry four Class-3 Fuel Rod Cannons, which possess a guidance lock. Smaller Covenant ships, such as the [[Covenant stealth ship]], sometimes use [[electronic countermeasures]] to counter guidance locks, as was the case in the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. However, larger Covenant warships usually use [[Pulse laser turret|point defense lasers]] to outright destroy incoming missiles instead.
