Directed Energy Rifle/ Jiralhanae Variant

The Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle/Jiralhanae Variant, more commonly known as the Brute Plasma Rifle, is a Covenant weapon, a modified version of the original Plasma Rifle that is used almost exclusively by Brutes (Jiralhanae). Functionally, it is very similar to the normal Plasma Rifle. It has the same approximate battery capacity. The primary difference is that the Brute version fires much faster, and as a result, it overheats after expending a mere four percent of its battery and is less accurate than its more sustained Elite counterpart.
