The ''Nakata'vho''-pattern plasma repeater resembles the {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}} in shape, though with an elongated mid-section and stock, allowing the repeater to be shouldered more like a traditional rifle as opposed to the plasma rifle's more submachine gun-like hold. While the Sangheili tend to stabilize the weapon by holding its elongated section, the Jiralhanae holds the weapon midsection with both hands.{{Ref/Game|HR|gameplay}} The middle of the weapon features the circuit emitter,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} a revolving cylinder tat slowly ramps up its rate of fire over time, starting with lower rates and accelerating to an extremely high rate of fire in a short period of time.{{Ref/Game|Id=HR|HR|Plasma repeater in-game weapon}}

Unlike its forebears, the plasma repeater features a manual venting trigger that allows its operator to release thermal buildup, dispersing it through shuttered ports on the side of the weapon. This allows the operator more precision and control over the weapon, at the cost of the traditional format which dominated the majority of the [[Covenant]]'s history.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
