Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol/Jiralhanae Variant

==Overview==
The Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol/Jiralhanae Variant is the Brute variant of the Plasma Pistol. It is completely different from the Sangheili variant except for its appearance. The Brute Plasma Pistol only appears in Halo 4: ODST. The weapon did not see widespread use until the end of the Human-Covenant War.
==Functionality==
The Brute Plasma Pistol works much like the Forerunner Boltshot, allowing for a powerful shotgun-like burst to be fired when charged up. The difference between the Brute Plasma Pistol and the Boltshot is that even when not charged the Covenant weapon fires smaller, less powerful bursts than the charged bursts. This lead to the weapon being used in close quarters quite often.
==Multiplayer==
This weapon is great for use in close quarters Firefight maps such as Alpha Base and The Sewers. It is almost never seen used not charged up, as the weapon can take down a fully armored Brute when the Mythic skull is not activated. Many players rush for this weapon, so learning the spawn locations and sequences could grant a large advantage for certain players.
==Trivia==
*The Brute Plasma Pistol was inspired by the Brute Plasma Rifle.
*This weapon is only seen in Halo 4: ODST.
