tbh there's very little individually notable about the Harvester's focus beam individually, given we now know it's distinctly a part of the same weapons lineage as the focus beams as per Enc22

The '''plasma drill''', also called a '''mining laser''', is the sole armament of the [[Harvester]]s used by the [[Covenant remnants|post-war Covenant]].  It is primarily used as an excavation tool for the purposes of recovering [[Forerunner]] artifacts.
 
==Design==
The plasma drill fires a single greenish-yellow energy beam, similar to that of a [[focus cannon]]. At full power, the beam is capable of drilling through multiple layers of solid rock.
 
==Operational history==
During the [[Second Battle of Requiem]] in [[2558]], [[Fireteam Crimson]] used a captured Harvester's plasma drill to create an entrance in the side of the mountain where one of the Forerunner artifacts was hidden.  <ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 10, Chapter 5: "One Last Time"</ref>
