A Bloodblade[Note 1] is the name provided to red colored fireblades[2][3] used by the Covenant and its remnants.
Overview
Design details
Bloodblades are not exclusive to a specific pattern of fireblade, as they have been seen as Meluth'qelos-pattern fireblades[4], Pelosus-pattern fireblades,[5][6] and two unidentified patterns.[7][8]
Usage
Bloodblades were used by some Special Operations Sangheili[1][9] such as the Silent Shadow[10][2] with one of their earliest known uses being during the Battle of Algolis, during the Human-Covenant War, at the attempted execution of Atriox.[6] They were also seen in the defense of a Covenant moon base.[9]
They were also sometimes used in the UNSC's War Games simulator, for example in Infection sessions.[5][11]
Bloodblades were also in use with the Banished, with one being in the possession of Jega 'Rdomnai during the Battle for Zeta Halo in 2560.[4]
Gameplay
The Bloodblade is used by zombies in Halo 2: Anniversary's Infection mode.
It can also be used as a special weapon in the campaign of Halo Infinite after Jega 'Rdomnai's defeat. It provides additional stat boosts even greater than that of Okro 'Vagaduun's Duelist sword.
