*As with all weapons in Halo 5, the Sword features a smart scope; in the case of this particular weapon, scoping in allows for an enhanced lunge radius. Using it is imperitive to achieve kills, as the red reticule range of the Sword has been heavily reduced when not scoped in, making spring-lunge kills far less effective. However, thrusting forward to close the gap for a lunge is an extremely useful tactic. One Warzone variant of the Sword, the Vorpal Talon, even grants an additional thruster charge to the user. | *As with all weapons in Halo 5, the Sword features a smart scope; in the case of this particular weapon, scoping in allows for an enhanced lunge radius.

*As befitting such an iconic weapon of the series, the Sword has four total variants in Warzone: the standard Sword, the faster-swinging Ravening Sliver, the thruster pack-boosting Vorpal Talon, and the Mythic Prophet's Bane, which includes a far increased lunge distance and an intrinsic Active Camo field. | *As befitting such an iconic weapon of the series, the Sword has four total variants in Warzone: the standard Sword, the faster-swinging Ravening Sliver, the thruster pack-boosting Vorpal Talon, and the Mythic Prophet's Bane, which includes a far increased lunge distance and an intrinsic Active Camo field. | ||
*Similarly to the sword in Halo 3, one can swipe quickly by tapping the left bumper (LB), or lunge for a longer range kill by pulling the right trigger (RT). If you are trying to break a destructible barrier or something of the sort, the quick slash can be useful. Otherwise, its quite limited range makes it worthless. (Unless you sneak up behind someone and hold LB to assassinate them with the blade). | |||
