'''The Needler''' is an unusual [[Covenant]] weapon that fires pink, translucent, crystalline projectiles with a tinge of blue. It is most often wielded by [[Grunts]], [[Elites]], [[Drones]], and sometimes even [[Jackals]] have been seen utilizing this weapon, but mostly Grunts are seen wielding it. [[Enforcers]] also have a larger version of the Needler mounted on themselves, along with one [[Sentinel]] which [[Needler Sentinel|equips this weapon through a glitch]]. | '''The Needler''' is an unusual [[Covenant]] weapon that fires pink, translucent, crystalline projectiles with a tinge of blue.

The Needler takes a general shape of a V with the top and bottom part of the weapon being curved the top of the weapon. The weapon takes on a Purple/Pinkish color, and has 14 holes on the top, with the needles protruding out of the holes. When the trigger is pulled the needle is somehow fed from the top into the "barrel" of the weapon, and fired at high speeds. Once all the ammo has been depleted the ammo is reloaded from a point that to this day remains a mystery, while speculation has varied no definitive answer, or logical conclusion has emerged. One thing that is unique is that the crystals are not individually loaded into the weapon, but rather a big chunk, once loaded into the weapon it somehow splits the chunk into the invidual crystals that will then protrude from the top of the weapon.

Like all Covenant weapons, the Needler still uses an Energy Coil to power and fire the weapon, should the coil fail the weapon would be rendered useless.<ref> Halo: First Strike Page 82 - 83</ref> | ||
