Covenant | The Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher, more commonly known
as the Needler, is a Covenant infantry weapon that fires glowing, pink-blue homing projectiles capable of doing lethal
damage when enough needles are in the target's body. Once seven "needles" (which is a reference to Bungie's love of the number
seven) embed themselves into an enemy, they explode, killing the enemy in almost all encounters. The energy signature of this
weapon is unknown.
