The Covenant Weapons of "Halo" Quiz

Answer: Plasma Rifle

The Plasma Rifle is mostly used by Elites. It is the closest Covenant weapon to the Human Assault Rifle. It can overheat easily, but the power supply is massive. The only problem is once the power supply is drained, you'll have to find a new one, because we do not yet know how to replace it.

Answer: Ghost

Ghosts are somewhat like Banshees. They both have twin Plasma Canons mounted on them, and can hover. The Banshee can fly, though, and is also equipped with a Fuel Rod Gun. The Ghost doesn't rely as much on firepower as the Banshee does, but instead the driver will normally try to run you over.

The Ghost also doesn't provide much protection for the driver. The bulk of the vehicle is in the front, so the driver is protected from those he/she is driving towards, but is open to all other angles.

Answer: Plasma Pistol

Similar to the Plasma Rifle, the Plasma Pistol overheats easily and has a limited power supply. You can charge up a Plasma Pistol shot to deliver a strong blast of plasma to your enemies with one shot. The downside to using this feature is that it instantly overheats and it drains the power supply of a lot more power than a normal shot.

A common strategy is to charge up a shot and fire it at an Elite or enemy player online. That should bring down their shields, and you should be able to run up them and beat them down with one melee attack.

Answer: It sticks to living matter

The Plasma Grenade will bounce off walls like a Fragmentation Grenade, but when it finds living tissue or a vehicle, it will stick to it. Once someone/something is stuck, enemy or ally, they're as good as dead. After sticking to an enemy or once it stops bouncing, a three second fuse is started.

Answer: A Shade

A Shade is normally operated by a Grunt. It's meant to be an anti-infantry turret, and plays its role quite nicely, but the operator is always a great risk. Shades aren't secured to the ground, so a grenade anywhere near could easily flip it. Also, the user is out in the open, making it really easy for the sloppiest of marksmen able to score a kill.

Answer: They home in on a target

The Needler is somehow able to distinguish living matter from the inanimate stuff. It with home in on a target and pierce the flesh, no matter the angle. A single Needler round on its own doesn't do a lot of damage, but with twenty rounds in a clip it can be pretty deadly, especially with the rapid fire feature. The Needler doesn't overheat, but it does have to be reloaded.

Answer: Banshee

Banshees are the only vehicles you can use that actually fly. Banshees can give you a particular edge when playing. They're fairly fast and maneuverable, at least to those on the ground. If you ever take too much damage, you can easily fly away and let your shields recharge before going back into the fray.

Answer: Blue

If you're trying to remain covert, use Human weapons, because all Covenant weapons can easily be see when used, such as a plasma bolt, or grenade. Plasma Grenades, Rifles, Canons, and Wraith Shots are blue. Plasma Pistol, and Fuel Rod Gun shots are green, and Needler and Shade rounds are a pink colour.

Answer: Fuel Rod Gun

Hunters have Fuel Rod Guns built right into their armor, so you can't steal them after a kill in the campaign. In multiplayer, a Fuel Rod Gun is like the Plasma Rifle. It has an energy source that can't be replaced and can overheat. Each shot also depletes a lot more batter than the Plasma Rifle, which means it'll run out of ammo really fast (In "Halo 2" the Fuel Rod Gun is Magazine fed).

Answer: Wraith Tank

Wraith Tanks are really annoying. They're really hard to take out, they fire large, devastating globs of plasma, and you'll never find one that you can hijack (In "Halo 2" you'll have a few chances to drive a Wraith Tank). You'll want to use heavy weaponry against them, such as grenades, rockets, and the Warthog's machine gun. If you can, try using a Banshee against them. Banshees can dish out a beating with their Fuel Rod Gun, and the Wraith's shots are so slow, you should be able to dodge them.
