Promethean Knights utilize a broad arsenal of weapons. For close-quarters combat, they are armed with a [[hardlight blade]] on one hand. Each class of Knight has a uniquely shaped blade, totaling six variations amongst them. They also use various Forerunner ranged weapons, such as [[Z-180 Close Combat Rifle|Scattershots]], [[Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon|Suppressors]], [[Z-250 Lightrifle|Lightrifles]], [[Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle|Binary Rifles]], and [[Z-390 High-Explosive Munitions Rifle|Incineration Cannons]]; their dedicated armament largely depends on their class and role. They frequently employ [[Z-040 Attenuation Field Generator/Localized|pulse grenades]] in combat, generating it from the arm-blade's joint.<ref name="H4EVG"/> Some subtypes also make use of [[Z-2500 Automated Protection Drone|autosentries]], in addition to the support that they can already summon. | Promethean Knights utilize a broad arsenal of weapons.
