This weapon replaced the [[Brute Plasma Rifle]] in active service during the [[Battle of Installation 05]].

The Spiker fires large superheated metal spikes ~~resembling~~ [[~~Needler~~]] projectiles <ref>[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=755574 Deja-Vu - EGM Magazine]</ref>. These spikes individually might not be as heavy (approx 14-15g) as their crystal counterparts, but because they are composed of superheated metal, they can burn/melt through armor upon impact, inflicting wounds that have been described as "horrifying." The spikes fired by this weapon are armor-piercing and appears to penetrate [[energy shield]] layers but are defeated before inflicting damage to the underlying structure. If shot directly at a surface, the spikes will crumple under the stress. However, if fired at a sufficiently high angle, the spikes will ricochet with predictable accuracy, but without losing any of their efficiency. This is useful when firing from behind cover. Its ammunition spikes have also been noted to be of the same material of the [[Spike Grenade]] (also a Loyalist Weapon). When a Spiker fires a projectile, it leaves a peculiar vapor smelling like "burnt hair."

The Brute Spiker is introduced in [[Halo 3]]. It has a fast reload time and even in dual wield configuration the Spiker is faster than the SMG. The Spiker ammunition is fed into the weapon via a small drum magazine with a 40-spike capacity. The magazine wheel is located on the underside of the weapon, behind the blade.
