*Enemies in Campaign and Firefight are extremely cautious when the Needle Rifle is used against them, regarding its projectiles as if they were explosives (and with good reason). Grunts dodge them the same way they dodge [[Plasma Grenades]], Brutes will frequently dodge or use [[Armor Lock]] when shot at, and Elites will evade constantly even if their shields are at full strength.
