---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weapon Name: Spiker
Can Be Found: After killing a Brute
Best Strategy: Posion Needles:Hit an enemy with a couple of Spiker rounds then finish with a Needler detination.
How it Can Be Used: Double Wielding is your best friend here
Rating: 7.8/10

Weapon Name: Plasma Pistol
Can Be Found: After killing a Jackel or a Grunt
Best Strategy: Normaly i'd just charge it up and shoot, taking down their sheild. You can go close quarters, charge it up, take down their sheilds, and hit em. Or what I prefer is, if theres a group of Brutes, i'll take a few charges at em, take their sheilds down, and throw in a grenade... Bodys fly you know.
How it can be used: Hitting, noob combo (Taking down their sheilds, and shooting em in the head with a BR or Carbine), my frag way stated above. Also, the a fully charged plasma pistol shot is capable of stopping a vehicle for a period of time.
Rating: 8.7/10

Equipment:Trip Mine
Can Be Found:On Tsavo Highway in one of the bunkers
Best Strategy: "One Step Towards Death" Throw a Trip Mine at the exact moment where someone will ram, melee you. This will catch them totally off gaurd.
How It Can Be Used: This is one of those pieces of equipment that is better for trap setting. Nuff' said.
Rating: 8.5/10

Weapon: Sniper Rifle
Can Be found: By human dead bodies, with marines, or in drop capsules
Best Stratagy: The classic head shot
How it can be used: Stay out of sight and click the right thumbstick in the bring up X2 scope, click again for X10, head shots are your best friends here, but if you're target is moving and you don't have a good shot at their head, a chest shot ain't bad either. Not advised for close range. High power, but small clips.
Covenent or Human: Human
Rating: 9.5/10


Weapon: Needler
Can be Found: After Killing a Grunt
Best Stratagy: Stay out of range, keep moving and get him filled with enough needles to make him blow up and go boom.
How it can be used: With quick reloads and fast meeles, this is a very tactical weapon. Line the enemy up and hold down the trigger button, they lock on, and with enough needles in them, they go boom! Runs out of ammo fast, so have another good weapon handy.
Covenent or Human: Covenent
Rating: 9/10


Weapon Name: Battle Rifle
Can Be Found: In most marine weapon racks, dead marines/swapping with alive ones, and in some occasions flood.
Best Strategy: Good for taking out grunts with a burst to the dome, also flood.
How It can be used: You shoot it at things you don't like.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Human
Rating(?/10): 8.2, can be very helpful


Weapon Name: Rocket Launcher
Can Be Found: Rarely at marine crash sites, you start with one on last level, and 1 or 2 flood in whole game may have one.
Best Strategy: Aim at ground of a group of things. (Brute, covenant, flood watever) or vehicles.
How It can be used: With authority
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Human
Rating(?/10): 8.5/10, not really a great weapon, can take out vehicles which gives it a plus but has low ammo, slow reload and bad close range.


Weapon Name: Mauler
Can Be Found: With some brutes closer to last few levels.
Best Strategy: Duel wield or shoot at close range. Duel weild with an automatic weapon such as plasma rifle, spiker, smg then deal finishing blow with this one or on xbox live/multiplayer u can duel with plasma pistol, take off their sheild and hit form a distance. Or, have 1 or 2 of these and nail enemy at close range with most likely both. With 1 shoot then melee.
How It can be used: Pretty much the same thing as this ^^^
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Brute
Rating(?/10): i giveit 7.4/10, some will probly dissagree but it can prove to be very useful if used right.


Weapon Name: Covenant Carbine
Can Be Found: From most jackals that don't have a shield and some brutes, ussually the jetpack ones.
Best Strategy: Headshots, this is a good weapon if used with headshots, all grunts and most jackals.
How It can be used: ^^^
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Covenant
Rating(?/10): 8.2, good ammount of ammo.


Weapon Name: Flamethrower
Can Be Found: On the mission: Cortana near the crashed Pelican. A second one spawns on single player for the Arbiter. Also on the final mission. Common Forge weapon for bigger maps. (Valhalla does not have one I don't think.)
Best Strategy: Burn things really fast. Best used against the morphing flood. Other flood still fight after getting burned.
How It can be used: To...well...burn things. Low ammo though.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Human
Rating(?/10): 7/10 Would get a 10 if it had more ammo.


Weapon name:Spartan Laser
Can be found on: level:The Covenant, Halo Also found in multiplayer maps
Best strategy: Hold RT then aim, and let her rip
How it can be used: To kill bigger things easier or vehicles
Human
Rating...9/10, for the fact that it has to charge...

Weapon Name: Beam Rifle
Can Be Found: Found on dead jackels and in weapon crates and on leg (maybe heroic too) you can sometimes find brutes holding them.
Best Strategy: Taking out brutes, anything else is just a waste.
How It can be used: Scope in, aim up a good headshot on brutes, pull trigger, also, instead of using another shot up on a jackel or a grunt on a plasma turret, just zoom in aim up a headshot, then dont move the joystick but switch to a battle rifle or a carbine and a perfect headshot is already lined up for you, works best with a battle rifle.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Covenant.
Rating(?/10): 8/10, powerful, yet if caught in close combat can make life very difficult.
Extra Info: My advise is whenever you hold a sniper in campaign, always carry a battle rifle too.

Weapon Name: Brute Shot
Can Be Found: Dead brutes, weapon crates.
Best Strategy: Disintegrating flood.
How It can be used: You can either wait to get a decent shot into a small group of flood or just take them out 1 by 1, it's also good for killing anything else but works best with the flood.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Brute
Rating(?/10): 8.3/10, it's a good weapon but if caught in close range with brutes, the slow reload time can be a pain if your other weapon is like a sniper or beam rife.
Extra Info: Keep in mind that it has a blade on the edge of it which makes it a really good melee weapon, when i did cortana on leg, i found that this acctually killed the flood better with melee then the sword did.

Weapon Name: Fuel Rod Cannon
Can Be Found: Brutes, mainly gold and chieftain ones but on some occasions grunts.
Best Strategy: Try and take out shade turrets and those sniper tower things out with this, also good if you shoot at close range into small groups of enemies.
How It can be used: When shooting from long range, you need to take into account the fact that the further the distance, the further it will drop as it travels.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Covenant
Rating(?/10): 7.2/10, not really that great a weapon in my opinion, but it is good for people who have trouble taking out enemies quickly.
Extra Info:

Weapon Name: Sub-Machine Gun (SMG)
Can Be Found: Many places in almost every level.
Best Strategy: Duel wield, w/o dueling there pretty pathetic.
How It can be used: Just try and hit enemies with the bullets .
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Human
Rating(?/10): 5/10, 7.4/10 dueled.
Extra Info:

Weapon Name: Assault Rifle
Can Be Found: Almost the same locations as SMG.
Best Strategy: Not a very good gun but when using it try and hit the enemy in the head as often as you can.
How It can be used: It is fairly good at wearing down brute shield/armour so maybe charge them and follow it up with a melee attack.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Human
Rating(?/10): 7.0/10, a decent weapon, pretty dodgy if you ask me though.
Extra Info: If there is a battle rifle available, definetly pick that over this one.

Weapon Name: Plasma Rifle
Can Be Found: Dead elites, and some flood.
Best Strategy: Again, its ok but much better dueled, its also alot better than the SMG.
How It can be used: Dueling.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Covenant.
Rating(?/10): 7/10, 8.2/10 dueled.
Extra Info: Try not to use it much un-dueled because its not really that great.

Equipment Name: Bubble Shield
Can Be Found: Brutes, lying around.
Best Strategy: Have a sniper or a close range weapon when you use it, throw down right in front of a group of brutes and you can easily kill them with a shotty or sword.
How It can be used: Press the (X) button.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Brute
Rating(?/10): 8/10, as far as shield type equipment this can be very useful.
Extra Info: Don't waste it...

Equipment Name: Energy Drain
Can Be Found: Brutes, lying around...
Best Strategy: Throw into a group of enemies then easily take them out with a battle rifle/carbine. Also able to cut a vehicles engine for as long as the energy drain is working and a little while afterward.
How It can be used: Press the (X) button.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Brute
Rating(?/10): 7.6/10, is good for taking out brutes.
Extra Info: Aim it up to throw it further, it doesn't go as far as grenades so be careful.

Equipment Name: Flare
Can Be Found: Brutes, mainly jetpack ones and on the ground on the odd occasion.
Best Strategy: Drop it and pick up something better.
How It can be used: You don't
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Brute
Rating(?/10): 0/10
Extra Info: Possibly the sh*test item in the game, it does nothing to any enemies, i throw into groups of brutes, its right next to them yet they still manage to have peak accuracy with spikers.

Equipment Name: Regenerator
Can Be Found: On the ground, brutes carry them when in a large group.
Best Strategy: Throw down in hectic situations then kill stuff.
How It can be used: Press the (X) button.
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Brute
Rating(?/10): 7.9/10
Extra Info: -

Equipment Name: Invincibility
Can Be Found: Brute Chieftains, and on rare occasions, on the ground.
Best Strategy: Use it when you need to take out brute whilst holding a shotty or a sword, or as an escape item which i think would be a waste.
How It can be used: You figure it out....
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Brute
Rating(?/10): 9/10, a good item but could last for longer
Extra Info: -

Equipment Name: Cloaking
Can Be Found: In some levels on brutes, also on the ground usually in groups of 2.
Best Strategy: Use in missions with a huge ammount of enemies where you just need to slip past enemies.
How It can be used: ...
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: Brute
Rating(?/10): 8.7/10, very useful on harder difficulties.
Extra Info: Good for stealth too.

Equipment Name: Auto-Turret
Can Be Found: Rare occasions will be on ground.
Best Strategy: It can help ease the burden of enemies.
How It can be used: you'll never guess...
Covenant(Brute Included) or Human: It sort of robot so like the monitors category.
Rating(?/10): 2.3/10, shoots rarely, is destroyed very easilly, weapon is pathetic.
Extra Info: Aim for a better (X) piece of equipment like a bubble shield or cloaking.
