Most of the Covenant's weaponry uses a form of magnetic channeling that the human race can only match to the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC gun]] aboard starships and the [[Warthog]] mounted | The Covenant boast a large arsenal of plasma based weapons.

Plasma-based weaponry is very effective against energy shielding. The amount of shots that can be fired tends to be very high, but power cannot be recharged without a recharge station nearby, and firing many shots in a short duration can cause the weapon to overheat, which reduces energy efficiency as well as forcing a temporary cooling period in which the weapon cannot be fired. Once the plasma reserves are used up, the weapon is useless. As is evidenced in some of the game files, recharging is possible, although this technology cannot be used by the Master Chief or the Arbiter in Halo: Combat Evolved or Halo 2. | Plasma-based weaponry is very effective against energy shielding.
