Most weapons are able to perform melee attacks, but for energy swords, gravity hammers, and multiplayer weapons this is their only means of attack. Some ranged weapons also feature increased melee damage, denoted by slow and heavy animations or by featuring blades and bayonets. The only games to feature ranged weapons with different melee damage types are ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and ''Halo Infinite''. | Most weapons are able to perform melee attacks, but for energy swords, gravity hammers, and multiplayer weapons this is their only means of attack.

Being comprised of multiple projectile types such as bullets, spikes, and the impact damage of explosives, '''kinetic weapons''' are the most common form of projectile damage. Often times kinetic weapons deal consistent damage against a variety of different materials but usually lack the ability to significantly damage vehicles. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'' bullet damage is reduced against [[shields]], and in ''Halo: Reach'' and the ''[[Reclaimer Saga]]'' games the [[sniper rifle]] deals extra damage against vehicles. In ''Halo Infinite'' kinetic weapons can be refilled with kinetic ammo. | Being comprised of multiple projectile types such as bullets, spikes, and the impact damage of explosives, '''kinetic weapons''' are the most common form of projectile damage.
