The Skewer is a powerful anti-materiel rifle that fires 1 round, similar to the [[ARC-920 railgun|Railgun]] minus the splash damage and charge-up delay. It is capable of destroying light and air vehicles in 1 or 2 shots and pushing back heavy vehicles. In the campaign, the Skewer is wielded exclusively by [[Jiralhanae Sniper]]s. In singleplayer, being hit by a Jiralhanae Sniper's spike will deal a significant, but non-lethal amount of damage to the player on lower difficulties, while in multiplayer, it is capable of killing a Spartan in 1 hit regardless of the location of its body.

The Volatile Skewer possesses a lower amount of reserve ammo in exchange for the explosive ammunition. Its spikes behave differently depending on what they hit; if the spike strikes an inert surface, it will explode after a short delay, whereas when striking an enemy unit or vehicle, the projectile detonates instantly.
 
Amusingly, when playing in custom multiplayer lobbies that enable bottomless magazines, the Skewer is revealed to fire quite rapidly for a launcher-type weapon.
