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 the primary 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, 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.
