Halo: Combat Evolved Pistol (gameplay): Difference between revisions

(reverting section regarding the flood as the previous edit may be confusing it for the flood's play dead behavior. Will add back if statement holds true after testing)

===[[Campaign]]===
The Pistol is the first weapon given to the player, and by extension the first weapon to be usable in a ''Halo'' game. It is an extremely effective weapon maintaining usefulness in most situations. It can 1 shot kill any [[character]] with an exposed head, does decent damage to shields, and can one-shot kill hunters when fired into their exposed skin. [[The Truth and Reconciliation]] is the only campaign mission to not feature the Pistol. The Pistol is noticeably ineffective against [[Sentinels]], especially those with [[energy shields]].

Unlike later games headshots have no effect on the [[Flood]], if a [[combat form]] appears to die from a single hit it is actually feigning death and will stand back up again.
