* In ''Halo 4'', the Spartan Laser appears only in the mission ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]'', found in an area where the last groups of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] are fought, including Banshees and Wraiths. If the player chooses to go on foot, grab the Spartan Laser to deal with the Wraiths from afar. | * In ''Halo 4'', the Spartan Laser appears only in the mission ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]'', found in an area where the last groups of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] are fought, including Banshees and Wraiths.

** In ''Genesis'', the Spartan Laser should be used in the [[Warden Eternal]] boss fights, preferably the first one. One or two hits will bring down a Warden. | ** In ''Glassed'', the Spartan Laser can be used to destroy the [[Z-1800 Phaeton|Phaeton]] required for the [[Halo 5: Guardians Skulls#Iron|Iron]] skull found only on Legendary difficulty. However, the Laser takes two seconds to charge, which can result in the player missing the Phaeton and subsequently missing out on the skull. | ||
** In ''Evacuation'', the Spartan Laser can be used to destroy the attacking Phaetons towards the end of the mission. | |||
** In ''Genesis'', the Spartan Laser should be used in the [[Warden Eternal]] boss fights, preferably the first one. One or two hits coupled with a few hits from either the [[M820 Scorpion]]'s cannon or a [[Type-58 Wraith]]'s plasma mortar (especially the [[Ultra Wraith]]'s) will bring down a Warden. | |||

*It would be better to use the weapon when hidden as it takes a long time to charge, and the targeting laser sight can be seen from across the map, drawing enemy attention to you. | *It would be better to use the weapon when hidden as it takes a long time to charge, and the targeting laser sight can be seen from across the map, drawing enemy attention to you. | ||
*In ''Halo 4'', having the Ammo [[tactical packages|tactical package]] will allow any Spartan Laser the player acquires from a random spawn or a personal ordnance drop to have six shots instead of the standard four. This can be exceedingly devastating on vehicle-heavy maps with excellent sight lines like [[Ragnarok]] and [[Exile]]. | *In ''Halo 4'', having the Ammo [[tactical packages|tactical package]] will allow any Spartan Laser the player acquires from a random spawn or a personal ordnance drop to have six shots instead of the standard four.

*Warzone provides two even more lethal variations; the Ultra-Rare '''''Endgame''''' at REQ level 5, which has an extended magazine and shorter charge time, but less damage per shot as balance (best utilized against infantry for quick, brutal one-shot kills), and the Legendary '''''Selene's Lance''''' at REQ level 6, which has a similar charge time and moderate recoil but is unable to pierce through multiple targets at once, although it counters that by delivering a blow that can obliterate almost anything in its scope and a targeting laser that does damage while aiming. Slap on a Damage Boost to completely incinerate anything you aim at. | *Warzone provides two even more lethal variations; the Ultra-Rare '''''Endgame''''' at REQ level 5, which has an extended magazine and shorter charge time, but less damage per shot as balance (best utilized against infantry for quick, brutal one-shot kills), and the Legendary '''''[[Selene's Lance]]''''' at REQ level 6, which has a similar charge time and moderate recoil but is unable to pierce through multiple targets at once, although it counters that by delivering a blow that can obliterate almost anything in its scope and a targeting laser that does damage while aiming.

*Be careful when targeting enemy Banshees; if the pilot is competent, they'll see the laser and dive out of the way with a barrel roll. Trick them into doing so by aiming and charging, then shutting the weapon down and waiting for the roll to end before firing again. | *Be careful when targeting enemy Banshees or Phaetons; if the pilot is competent, they'll see the laser and dive out of the way with a barrel roll or teleport away.
