*In ''Halo 3'' the energy sword is very hard to come by in the campaign outside of [[Floodgate]], [[Cortana (Level)|Cortana]], and [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]. The player can obtain an energy sword by betraying an Elite ally on [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]] by sticking him with a grenade (if Mythic is turned on, the Elite can survive a Plasma Grenade and his energy sword can be taken) or by draining the Arbiter's shield during combat (this happens more frequently on higher difficulties). If the player does so, it is a very good weapon against Brutes, although the battery will deplete very quickly. | *In ''Halo 3'' the energy sword is very hard to come by in the campaign outside of [[Floodgate]], [[Cortana (Level)|Cortana]], and [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]].

*In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' the sword will knock out the shields of any Elite in one hit on [[Legendary]], and following up with a headshot means that the sword's battery won't deplete. This is an effective strategy on [[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]], [[The Package (level)|The Package]] and [[Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|Pillar of Autumn]]. The sword is also incredibly effective against Hunters on all difficulties, as a hit anywhere stuns them and a single swipe to the back kills them. Opportunities for this in campaign are limited to The Package, but it is a useful tactic in [[Firefight]]. | *In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' the sword will knock out the shields of any Elite in one hit on [[Legendary]], and following up with a headshot means that the sword's battery won't deplete.
