They utilize a broad arsenal of weapons; in addition to a [[hard light]] [[Hardlight blade|blade weapon]] on one hand, they also use various Forerunner ranged weapons, such as [[Z-180 Close Combat Rifle|Scattershots]], [[Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon|Suppressors]], [[Z-250 Lightrifle|Lightrifles]], [[Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle|Binary Rifles]], and [[Z-390 High-Explosive Munitions Rifle|Incineration Cannons]]; their dedicated armament largely depends on their class and role.

Knights are remarkably agile, and in addition to using their limbs for conventional movement they are also capable of [[slipspace translocation|translocating]] over moderate distances, allowing them to either swiftly retreat from the battlefield or to flank their enemies. Although not commonly seen in the field, Knights can also be deployed from warships and are equipped with thruster engines for maneuvering. This capability was used during the Forerunner-Flood war, when Knights were deployed to [[boarding|board]] and destroy Flood-controlled ships from within.<ref name="h4terminals"/> | Knights are remarkably agile, and in addition to using their limbs for conventional movement they are also capable of [[slipspace translocation|translocating]] over moderate distances, allowing them to either swiftly retreat from the battlefield or to flank their enemies.
