Marksmen within the Covenant military were most often issued {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}}s, although {{Pattern|Gadulo|needle rifle}}s also saw some use. Higher ranking Sangheili in the military were often equipped with explosive weaponry such as {{Pattern|Elo'Nakada|concussion rifle}}s and {{Pattern|Kopasa'mada|plasma launcher}}s. The {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}} was employed as an anti-armor weapon, although it also saw use against infantry. Covenant snipers were normally equipped with {{Pattern|Zubo|beam rifle}}s and later, {{Pattern|Sulok|beam rifle}}s. Many opted to use {{Pattern|M'tara|focus rifle}}s for ranged suppression. The standard grenade of the Covenant military was the {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}. | Marksmen within the Covenant military were most often issued {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}}s, although {{Pattern|Gadulo|needle rifle}}s also saw some use.

The Covenant military fielded a wide array of melee-based weaponry. In contrast to [[UNSC]] soldiers, who generally used melee weapons as a last resort, the Covenant used melee weapons far more readily. The Sangheili and Jiralhanae in particular preferred to get in close to enemies, using their superior physical strength and impressive melee armaments to their advantage. The [[Type-1 energy sword]] was commonly seen in the hands of higher-ranking Sangheili. Jiralhanae often employed their [[ | The Covenant military fielded a wide array of melee-based weaponry.

The Covenant military also employed a vast range of stationary plasma cannons. The {{Pattern|Shepsu|plasma cannon}} was used for suppression fire for much of the [[Human-Covenant War]], before being phased out in favor of the {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}} which performed in much the same way. The [[Shade]] stationary guns were used for static defence and heavy suppression. The {{Pattern|Rizsheda|Shade}} was the most commonly used model, although the [[Eeo'Pimu-pattern Shade|Type-27]] and [[Mamua'uda-pattern Shade|Type-29]] variant also saw prodigious use. | The Covenant military also employed a vast range of stationary plasma cannons.
