Merg Vol's Covenant utilized much of the same equipment that the original Covenant used. Most [[Unggoy]] used the [[Type-25 plasma pistol]] while [[Kig-Yar]] troops made use of [[Type-33 Needler]]s. [[Sangheili]] personnel were typically armed with the {{Pattern|Nakata'vho|plasma repeater}}. Higher-ranking members of the group used the [[Type-33 Needler]] and {{Pattern|M'tara|focus rifle}}. [[Jiralhanae]] within the faction regularly used [[Type-25 Brute Shot]]s and [[ | Merg Vol's Covenant utilized much of the same equipment that the original Covenant used.
