*The plasma launcher can be considered the informal Covenant equivalent of the [[M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle|Spartan Laser]], as it requires a charge-up before firing, and is highly effective on vehicles. However, according to [[Chris Carney]] on ''Game Trailers TV'', it is "[...] the Covenant equivalent to the [[human]] [[M319 Individual Grenade Launcher|grenade launcher]], firing four plasma-like bolts which stick like plasma grenades."

*When [[Warzone Firefight]] was made available in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', the plasma launcher was included in this mode and it can be used by the player. However, the shots are not fully rendered and there is no first-person model of the weapon. Other players can see the player holding the weapon, though. | *When [[Warzone Firefight]] was made available in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', the plasma launcher was included in this mode and it can be used by the player.
