==Development history== | |||
The Type-25 Brute plasma rifle variant was originally manufactured at the Sacred Promissory assembly forges in preparation for the High [[[Prophet of Truth]]'s takeover of the Covenant. Under its crimson plating, the artisan-engineers in Truth's employ were allowed to make modifications to the rifle's sacred design pattern specifically tailored to the aggressive nature of the Jiralhanae. These changes would have been deemed heretical without a hierarch’s direct blessing – a blessing Truth was more than happy to offer. | |||
Even in the aftermath of the collapse of the Covenant empire, newly manufactured Brute plasma rifles continued appearing in the hands of mercenaries and raiders, though their source is unknown.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-noble-intentions '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Noble Intentions'']</ref> | |||
