The '''''Rohakadu''-pattern Pistol''', also known as the '''plasma pistol''', is a [[plasma]]-based [[directed-energy weapon|directed-energy]] firearm manufactured by [[Iruiru Armory]] under a shadow contract with the [[Banished]] for use in armed combat.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|Plasma pistol}}
Manufactured by Iruiru Armory, the ''Rohakadu''-pattern plasma pistol is a directed-energy weapon employed by the Banished. The ''Rohakadu''-pattern was designed and commissioned per [[Let 'Volir]]'s requests under a shadow contract with the manufacturer. The pattern bares heavy similarities to the {{Pattern|Zo'klada|plasma pistol}} utilized by many [[Covenant remnants|Covenant splinter factions]], and respects the former's design in functionality too, although with slight improvements to durability and native-link compatibility.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Usage===
This ''Rohakadu''-pattern pistol was fielded by [[Banished]] forces during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]]. It was commonly used by [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]].{{Ref/Reuse|hinf}}{{Ref/Reuse|forge}}

===Variants===
*'''[[Unbound Plasma Pistol]]''': A modified variant of the plasma pistol with a white chassis that fires faster, stronger bolts that have a homing ability. In addition, it's scaled burst fires six bolts instead of a single overcharge bolt; the bolts detonate in a "supercombine" explosion if they hit the same target.{{Ref/Game|HINF|Forge - [[Unbound Plasma Pistol]] description|Quote=Bolts detonate when super-combined on target; over-charge increases detonation and tracking.}}

==Gameplay==
=== Changes from the [[Type-54 plasma pistol|''Zo'klada''-pattern pistol]] in ''Halo 5: Guardians''===
* Like the Type-25 plasma pistol from ''Halo 2'', it cannot disable vehicles.
* It retains the classic hum sound from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo: Reach''.
* The firing sound is now reminiscent to the Type-25 plasma pistol’s firing sound from the Bungie titles.
* It is capable of being vented, but firing rapidly or using the alt-fire mode will still overheat it.
* Plasma ammunition crates and Plasma Pistols on weapon racks or the battlefield refill its battery without the need to pick up a fresh one.
* While it’s almost visually identical to the ''Halo 5: Guardians'' version, the organic carapace has been streamlined as discussed in ''The Art of Halo Infinite''. Additionally, the markings on the weapon are now green as opposed to blue, matching the plasma projectiles.

==In-game information==
{{Article quote|Semi-automatic plasma energy weapon capable of a scaled-burst effect that strips shielded targets.{{Ref/Game|HI|Academy - Weapon Drills - Plasma Pistol description}}}}
The Plasma Pistol kills fully shielded Spartans in 9-16 shots (5 to break shields, 11 unshielded bodyshots or 4 headshots). It takes 2-3 charged shots to kill a fully shielded Spartan (1 to break shields, 2 unshielded bodyshots or 1 headshot).

==Production notes==
At release, an overcharged burst from the plasma pistol in ''Halo Infinite'' was incapable of disabling vehicles via an electromagnetic pulse. Despite that, upon the release of [[Forge]], the Forge description for the plasma pistol erroneously stated that the weapon's overcharged burst retained this feature.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}} With the release of [[Content Update 32]] on April 30, 2024, the EMP functionality was restored on the weapon.{{Ref/Site|Id=sandbox|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/banished-honor-sandbox|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Sandbox Overview <nowiki>|</nowiki> Halo Infinite CU32|D=25|M=04|Y=2024}}
