Equipment

Weapons

The following weapons are in addition to all official weapons, which have a cost in credits equal to their GP cost and are available to both UNSC and Covenant forces.

Simple Melee Weapons

Humbler Stun Device

USNC Simple Melee Weapons

Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties
Humbler Stun Device 30 cR 1d4 bludgeoning 3 lb. Finesse, light, thrown (range 20/60), special

Primarily used by military and law enforcement, the humbler is a simple metal baton capable of releasing a severe shock that temporarily shorts the target's nervous system. On a hit with this weapon, you may release a burst of electricity, dealing 2d6 lightning damage in addition to this weapon's normal damage. If this reduces a creature to 0 hit points, the target drops to 1 hit point instead and falls unconscious for 1 hour. After doing so, you can not do so again for 1 minute.

Energy Dagger

Covenant Simple Melee Weapons

Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties
Energy Dagger 1,500 cR 2d6 radiant 3 lb. Finesse, light, plasma cartridge (5%)

Supercombine. On a hit with this weapon, the target gains 3 levels of supercombine. At the end of each round, every creature that did not gain a level of supercombine during that round loses 1 level of supercombine.

Gravity Axe

Covenant Martial Melee Weapons

Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties
Gravity Axe 1,500 cR 3d10 radiant 3 lb. Two-handed, reach, heavy, plasma cartridge (20%)

While most gravity hammers have a single traditional blade, some less-traditional Jiralhanae incorporate the plasma blades of an energy sword into their weapon in place of some of the weapon's gravity vents.

UNSC CQBs

Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties
M45 Shotgun 1,500 cR 1d4 slashing 10 lbs. Ammunition (range 15/150), long reload (5 shots), two-handed, spread (2d8)

Misriah Armory's M45 shotgun sits in close contention with Weapon System Technologies' M90 when the title of the UNSC's favorite shotgun is given. Before the Covenant War, the UNSC had little use for a dedicated shotgun, preferring to mass-produce caseless SMGs for close-quarters gunfire, leaving these weapons in the hands of police forces, civilians, and Insurrectionists. By the time of the Covenant War, many of these weapons had drifted into various military weapons lockers and the hands of individual soldiers, finding exceptional use when loaded with the UNSC's favorite 8-gauge rounds.

UNSC CQBs

Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties
CQS48 Bulldog 1,500 cR 2d6 slashing 10 lbs. Ammunition (range 20/200), reload (8 shots), two-handed, spread (1d4)

After the Covenant War, the UNSC realized the use a dedicated shotgun could have in their ranks. Refining and enhancing the M45 and [M90's designs, the Bulldog uses a quickly-reloadable revolving cylinder similar to that of the Mauler, and its pump features an ergonomic grip to accelerate how quickly it can be fired.

Covenant CQBs

Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties

Covenant Rifles

Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties
Okarda'phaa-pattern Rifle 1,500 cR 3d6 radiant 8 lb. Ammunition (range 15/300), plasma cartridge (1%), heavy, automatic (2d4)

The Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle to the UNSC, or simply the plasma rifle informally to both UNSC and Covenant, the Okarda'phaa-pattern acts more like a submachine gun in the hands of a Sangheili, Jiralhanae, or Spartan, though in the hands of an Unggoy, Kig-Yar, or human, the name is much more fitting.

Kewu R'shi'k-pattern Rifle 1,500 cR 2d6 radiant 8 lb. Ammunition (range 15/300), plasma cartridge (1%), heavy, automatic (2d8)

A modification to the Okarda'phaa-pattern, with the UNSC even classifying the two by the same designation, designed for Jiralhanae hands following the Great Schism, the Kewu R'shi'k-pattern plasma rifle fires significantly faster, but each bolt carries significantly less energy.

After firing, they must spend an action venting the weapon before they can charge it again. When the weapon is fired, every creature in a 600 ft. line must attempt a DC 10 + your Dexterity modifier Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they take 10d10 radiant damage. On a success, they take half as much damage. If you are proficient in this weapon, you may add your proficiency bonus to its saving throw DC.

UNSC Ordinances

Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties
M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle / Assault Weapon 1,500 cR Special 25 lbs. Long reload (2 shots), heavy, two-handed, stabilizing, special

Misriah Armory’s SPNKr rocket launcher fires 102mm shaped rockets and is considered one of the most powerful weapons a UNSC soldier can wield. Despite being considered outdated by the time the Covenant War began, its robust nature kept it as a favorite of both soldiers and quartermasters, leading to it remaining in use until long after the Covenant War. It was eventually replaced with the M57 Pilum.

High Explosive. When the weapon is fired, every creature in a 15 ft. radius up to 300 feet from the wielder must attempt a DC 10 + your Dexterity modifier Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 5d8 bludgeoning damage. On a success, they take half as much damage. If this area is centered on a point beyond 30 feet of the wielder, targets have advantage on this saving throw unless they are a vehicle. If you are proficient in this weapon, you may add your proficiency bonus to its saving throw DC.
