HR: Covenant Weapons - Gravity Hammer (Type-2)

Basic description: Hand held melee weapon, is the Brute equivalent of the Elite energy sword. Is a one-strike kill, either directly or very nearby splash damage. Splash damage also pushes other players away from the radius. Melee effect is not as effective. Holds enough charge for about 10 kills. No reticle bloom. Similar in function to previous games.

NEW FOR HALO REACH: None known.

Restrictions: Is very large and obvious when carried as primary or secondary weapon, expect to draw enemy fire. Very short range, does little to no damage outside of splash damage radius.  Can not pick up ammo on the field.

Uses: Very short range. Instant kill. Good for closer quarters combat, protecting or gaining objectives. Pairs extremely well with sprint.

Best for: Fast reflex players, protecting objectives, or clearing rooms.
