Zo'klada-pattern plasma pistol

This article is about the model introduced in Halo 5: Guardians. For the model introduced in Halo: Combat Evolved, see Type-25 plasma pistol.

The Type-54 Directed Energy Pistol (Type-54 DEP), also known as the Plasma Pistol, is the post-Covenant War successor to the Type-25 plasma pistol.

Type-54D plasma pistol
The T-54D plasma pistol was used extensively by the Swords of Sanghelios and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant in October 2558. It is also the preferred sidearm for Spartan-IV Olympia Vale. It is classified as a Common REQ and can be summoned in Warzone at Level 3 energy.

Spitfire
The Spitfire is a T-54D produced by Kig-Yar armorers that features a faster rate of fire and reduced heat generated per shot. It is classified as an Uncommon REQ and can be summoned in Warzone at Level 3 energy. It can also be found in the campaign on the level Genesis.

Void's Tear
The Void's Tear is an advanced T-54D that features overcharged shots that create an unstable gravimetric vortex by superheating exotic nuclear isomers. At the point of impact the overcharged shot pulls in nearby objects and then explodes. It is classified as a Rare REQ and can be summoned in Warzone at Level 4 energy.
