Kopasa'mada-pattern plasma launcher

The Plasma Launcher is a plasma-based explosive launcher used by the Covenant Empire.

Description
The weapon is capable of launching four explosive plasma bolts which then track vehicles and bipeds in a similar way to the Needler. The bolts have a slight delay on them which makes the weapon capable of "from the grave kills". It has an appearance slightly similar to the Halo: Combat Evolved Fuel Rod Gun, with them both being a heavy weapon and both being colored purple.
