The needler is a staple across the ''Halo'' games, being introduced in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and appearing in every game ever since. It is a fully-automatic infantry weapon that fires slow-moving needle projectiles that can home in on enemies. In [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]], the needler is used by Unggoy, Kig-Yar, Yanme'e, Sangheili, Jiralhanae, and the Flood. In ''[[Halo 2]]'', it can be [[dual wielding|dual wielded]], though made impossible to do so in ''[[Halo 3]]''. In ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', the needler is [[Weapon class|classified]] as a submachine gun. | The needler is a staple across the ''Halo'' games, being introduced in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and appearing in every game ever since.
