Zo'klada-pattern plasma pistol

This article is about the model introduced in Halo 5: Guardians. For the model introduced in Halo: Combat Evolved, see Type-25 plasma pistol.

The Type-54 Directed Energy Pistol (Type-54 DEP), also known as the Plasma Pistol, is the post-Covenant War successor to the Type-25 plasma pistol.

Variants

Spitfire

The skill and finesse of Kig-Yar armorers should never be underestimated. Improved Plasma Pistol with faster rate of fire and reduced heat generated per shot.

Type-54D plasma pistol

The T-54D plasma pistol was used extensively by the Swords of Sanghelios and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction in October 2558. It is also the preferred sidearm for Spartan-IV Olympia Vale.

• Is once again able to EMP vehicles.
• Increased damage, killing a fully-shielded Spartan in 9 bolts.
• Does not drain battery while the trigger is held down as long as the current battery percentage is sufficient.
