Although the stalker rifle resembles the [[Particle beam rifle|particle acceleration weapons]] used by the original [[Covenant]], it differs in functionality and performance. The stalker rifle employs the same electromagnetic compositors as the {{Pattern|M'tara|focus rifle}} to launch bolts of superheated plasma at extraordinary distances. It contains a native-link system that allows for various optics configurations.
