Halo 1 Covenant Weapons

In Halo 1, the Covenant have a wide variety of weapons at their disposal. These weapons are as follows: Needler, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Fuel Rod Gun, Plasma Sword, and Assault Cannon. These weapons are used by different species of Covenant. Grunt minors(orange) and majors(red) use needlers and plasma pistols while spec ops grunts(black or gray) use fuel rod guns. A grunt with a fuel rod gun is a serious threat. Jackals use plasma pistols all the time. Elites use plama rifles, needlers, and plasma swords. An elite with a plasma sword can kill in 1 hit on higher difficulty levels. Hunters can only use the assault cannon because it is grafted onto their arm. Hunters do not do very well in Halo 1 because of bad programming, but they are still dangerous. The covenant have a large amount of weapos that are bad against The Flood.
