The plasma launcher is a shoulder-fired heavy [[Plasma weaponry|plasma weapon]]. When firing, the weapon is capable of launching up to four large explosive [[Type classification system#Class designations|Class-1]] guided plasma bolts at a single target - with each bolt similar to the [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades]] standard in Covenant deployments. How many shots are fired depends on the charging time. The wielder may release the trigger at any time to fire the charged shots, and the weapon will automatically fire after 4 bolts have been ready for 3 seconds. The bolts track vehicles and bipeds similarly to the [[Type-33 needler]], although slightly differently- a red circle will appear around a target to indicate the Launcher is "locked on". The Plasma Launcher has a 2.5× zoom capability, which enables the user to lock onto targets from farther away. The bolts will continue to track until they hit the target or another object, regardless of the death of the operator, being redirected by physical impulses or the target teleporting across vast distances. | The plasma launcher is a shoulder-fired heavy [[Plasma weaponry|plasma weapon]].
