Similarly to dual wielded weapons, the advantage they offer is usually offset by a shortcoming. Slow firing speed, lengthy reloads, and limited range are some of the balancing tools used to prevent multiple one hit kills from occuring simultaneously or in quick succession. Due to their desirability power weapons are usually found at a central spawn location on multiplayer maps. ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' further accentuate this by placing these weapons on marked [[weapon pad|weapon pads]]. Despite having its own icon in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' power is not a damage type, instead it is displayed to notify players that power weapons can only be refilled with power ammo. | ||
