Summary
This is a Covenant directed energy weapon. It is capable of either semi-automatic or automatic fire. Continuous rapid fire overheats the weapon - this in turn depletes the weapon's power core. The UNSC currently does not understand how to replace or recharge a power core. This weapon has a heat gauge on the side, pay close attention to it to lower chances of overheating.
This weapon uses a smaller version of the plasma technology used in the Covenant's main capital ships. By using a small magnetic field generator, the plasma is forced forward after discharge in small bolts. In multiplayer it is best to dual-wield this weapon with another Plasma Rifle or SMG.
A common method of use in multiplayer short range maps is to fire at an opponent for a second then to melee. It is very effective. Half a second of fire if you dual-wield with another plasma rifle.
Note: This weapon will deplete its energy source as you use it. It is wise to replace it as often as possible, and when dual wielding it is a great pair with the SMG as it can easily take down your opponent's shields then you can finish him with the SMG.
