Although Elites are most commonly seen with [[Energy Sword]]s, [[Covenant Carbine]]s, [[Plasma Rifle]]s and [[Needler]]s, because of their strength and versatility, Elites can utilize ''any'' weapon in the field of battle, Human or Covenant, though most Elites would rather die than use a Human or Jiralhanae-oriented weapon. Lieutenant Junior Grade [[Fred-104]] theorizes that the Elites follow an edict of the Prophets that states that they should not use [[Human]] weapons, based on his own sightings of Elites happily dying rather than pick up a fully loaded [[MA5B Assault Rifle]] at their feet. The Brutes however do not behave in a similar manner, even attempting to steal FENRIS nuclear warheads during the [[Battle of Earth]]. The [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]], it appears, has no particular objection to sullying his already fraudulent honor with a Human weapon. Most other Elites will use a Human or a Brute weapon if it is given to them by the Arbiter, although usually with a derogatory remark (with the exception of the Spartan Laser), such as, "Bah! Even as trophies, these weapons are worthless!", "Really??", or even "Worthless piece of crap!" However, in the hands of an Elite, any Human weapon can be deadly. Elites can hold a [[Rocket Launcher]] with one hand due to their superior strength, unlike normal [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] or even [[Spartan II | SPARTAN IIs]]. They will also use Human [[vehicles]] such as a [[Mongoose]], or a [[Warthog]]. Their marksmanship is easily comparable to a skilled Marine and they can quickly kill any opponent from afar with their skill in long-ranged combat, as well as being extremely deadly in close quarters with energy sword equipped warriors being even deadlier. Thanks to their armor and increased musculature they can survive attacks that would kill a normal human soldier, even with their personal shields down. In Halo 2 it is known that on the level Metropolis if left alone, the Elites will kill Sergeant Stacker in the Gauss Warthog, take control of the Gauss cannon, and start firing at you.

*Their eyes have changed in color to a pearly white hue, and they do not appear to have pupils. It also looks as though they have been moved closer to the front of their heads. |
