Energy cutlass: Difference between revisions
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
(I've suggested a rename since the current title is fanon. The best description given in the novel is "crystal cutlass". I'm not quite sure the weapon from Helljumper is one of these but artistic license could be a factor.) |

The energy cutlass is a Covenant melee weapon, primarily used by the Kig-Yar for light fighting in close-quarter situations. Used by Kig-Yar soldiers and pirates alike, the energy cutlass is considered to be very useful during boarding actions on hostile ships or in melee engagements in confined spaces.[1]
The weapon is composed of a complex arrangement of chemicals, plasma, alloys, and a shard of pink, glass-like crystal.[1] They are used primarily to dispatch enemies in close-quarters fights, especially when boarding an enemy ship.[2] They are similar to the UNSC combat knife. These blades house a complex chemical mixture within them that causes the knife to explode into shards when embedded into a soft target, similar to a Type-33 Needler round. Before it explodes, the blade will begin to pulse with a rosy red color.[3]
The Unggoy also use them, as seen during the fighting on the Tiara during the First Battle of Harvest.[4] Energy cutlasses were used by several Kig-Yar during the Battle of Ariel in January 2552.[5]
