Nakata'vho-pattern plasma repeater

The Plasma Repeater is a plasma-based Directed Energy Weapon used by the Covenant Empire.

Description
The Plasma Repeater was a weapon used by the Sangheili during the Battle of Reach in August 2552 and is a variation of the Plasma Rifle. The weapon's rate of fire will slow as it is fired and the weapon heats up. This can be solved by manually venting the rifle with the reload button, which can be done all at once or gradually. However, as the weapon overheats and the rate of fire slows, the accuracy of the weapon will increase.

Trivia

 * According to Bungie, the Plasma Repeater is the Covenant's answer to the UNSC's MA5 series.
 * The weapon's front end has an aesthetic similarity to the Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle.
 * The weapon was designed primarily for Multiplayer and will likely not make an appearance in the Campaign mode of Halo: Reach.
