==Overview==
==Overview==
Manufactured by Iruiru Armory, the ''Rohakadu''-pattern plasma pistol is a Banished Directed-energy weapon. The ''Rohakadu''-pattern was designed and commissioned per [[Let 'Volir|Let 'Volir's]] requests under a shadow contract. The pattern bares heavy similarities to the [[Type-54 plasma pistol|''Zo'klada''-pattern]] utilized by many post-Covenant factions, and respects the former's design in functionality too, although with slight improvements to durability and native-link compatibility.
===Design details===
{{Main|Plasma pistol}}
Manufactured by Iruiru Armory, the ''Rohakadu''-pattern plasma pistol is a directed-energy weapon employed by the Banished. The ''Rohakadu''-pattern was designed and commissioned per [[Let 'Volir]]'s requests under a shadow contract with the manufacturer. The pattern bares heavy similarities to the {{Pattern|Zo'klada|plasma pistol}} utilized by many [[Covenant remnants|Covenant splinter factions]], and respects the former's design in functionality too, although with slight improvements to durability and native-link compatibility.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


===Usage===
This ''Rohakadu''-pattern pistol was fielded by [[Banished]] forces during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]]. It was commonly used by [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]].{{Ref/Reuse|hinf}}{{Ref/Reuse|forge}}
===Variants===
*'''[[Unbound Plasma Pistol]]''': A modified variant of the plasma pistol with a white chassis that fires faster, stronger bolts that have a homing ability. In addition, its scaled burst fires six bolts instead of a single overcharge bolt; the bolts detonate in a "supercombine" explosion if they hit the same target.{{Ref/Game|HINF|Forge - [[Unbound Plasma Pistol]] description|Quote=Bolts detonate when super-combined on target; over-charge increases detonation and tracking.}}

==Production notes==
At release, an overcharged burst from the plasma pistol in ''Halo Infinite'' was incapable of disabling vehicles via an electromagnetic pulse. Despite that, upon the release of [[Forge]], the Forge description for the plasma pistol erroneously stated that the weapon's overcharged burst retained this feature.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}} With the release of [[Content Update 32]] on April 30, 2024, the EMP functionality was restored on the weapon.{{Ref/Site|Id=sandbox|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/banished-honor-sandbox|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Sandbox Overview <nowiki>|</nowiki> Halo Infinite CU32|D=25|M=04|Y=2024}}
