Campaign

The Spiker is a new weapon in Halo: Campaign Evolved, included for use in the game's Operation: METEORITE prequel levels alongside the Campaign Remix mode. It is predominantly used by Brute enemies in those levels alongside the Brute Plasma Rifle, though of the two is by far the less commonly-found. It is almost never found in ammunition caches and only in the hands of Brutes.

Unlike prior iterations of the Spiker, in Campaign Evolved it is one of the most effective weapons in the game.
