The ''Spitfire'' is a named variant of the T-54D DEP, which has a faster charging cycle, increased damage and range, and less heat generated per shot. The skill and finesse of [[Kig-Yar]] armorers has resulted in the creation of the ''Spitfire''. It retains the same chassis as the normal T-54D DEP except that the top part of the weapon is now colored a faint purple with white Covenant glyphs covering the rear half, while the bottom part of the weapon is colored predominantly red with a small Covenant glyph overlaid at the rearmost end. | The ''Spitfire'' is a named variant of the T-54D DEP, which has a faster charging cycle, increased damage and range, and less heat generated per shot.

Gameplay-wise, the ''Spitfire'', an Uncommon Level 2 [[Requisition system|REQ]] worth 75 REQ Points when sold, works identically to a standard Plasma Pistol except that it has a 25% higher red reticle range, faster heat dissipation, less battery charge expended when the weapon is kept charged, and higher overall damage, killing a full shield, full health Spartan in 5 uncharged shots or 3 overcharged shots. | Gameplay-wise, the ''Spitfire'', an Uncommon Level 2 [[Requisition system|REQ]] worth 75 REQ Points when sold, works identically to a standard Plasma Pistol except that it has a 25% higher red reticle range, faster heat dissipation, less battery charge expended when the weapon is kept charged, and higher overall damage, killing a full shield, full health Spartan in 5 uncharged shots or 3 overcharged shots.<ref name="H5G-Aozolai"/> These improvements can be taken advantage of to stop enemy vehicles and/or hijack them, which can prove useful for the "[[Rolling Thunder]]" achievement in the mission ''Genesis''. Interestingly, the ''Spitfire'' still loses 15% of its battery with overcharged shots in the campaign despite the normal Plasma Pistol losing 33% less battery charge in the campaign than in multiplayer.<ref name="H5G"/> | ||
