* As with all weapons in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the Sword features a smart scope; in the case of this particular weapon, scoping in allows for an enhanced lunge radius. Using it is imperitive to achieve kills, as the red reticule range of the Sword has been heavily reduced when not scoped in, making spring-lunge kills far less effective. However, thrusting forward to close the gap for a lunge is an extremely useful tactic. One Warzone variant of the Sword, the ''Vorpal Talon'', even grants an additional thruster charge to the user. | * As with all weapons in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the Sword features a smart scope; in the case of this particular weapon, scoping in allows for an enhanced lunge radius.

* Similarly to the sword in Halo 3, one can swipe quickly by tapping the right bumper (RB), or lunge for a longer range kill by pulling the right trigger (RT). If you are trying to break a destructible barrier or something of the sort, the quick slash can be useful. Otherwise, its quite limited range makes it worthless. (Unless you sneak up behind someone and hold LB to assassinate them with the blade). | * Similarly to the sword in Halo 3, one can swipe quickly by tapping the right bumper (RB), or lunge for a longer range kill by pulling the right trigger (RT).
