A Spartan biped. Use a variant ID to control the armor permutation.

elite (Elite Biped)

An Elite biped. Use a variant ID to control the armor permutation.

monitor (Monitor Biped)

flag (Flag)

A flag. It can be picked up by a player, carried, and used as a melee weapon.

bomb (Bomb)

A UNSC bomb. It can be picked up by a player, carried, and used as a melee weapon.

skull (Skull)

A skull. It can be picked up by a player, carried, and used as a melee weapon.

A fragmentation grenade that detonates shortly after bouncing off of a single surface.

plasma_grenade (Plasma Grenade)

A plasma grenade that sticks to targets.

spike_grenade (Spike Grenade)

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. A development leftover from Halo 3: a spike grenade similar in design to a Stielhandgranate, which sticks to targets when thrown and unleashes a hail of spikes when detonating.

firebomb_grenade (Firebomb Grenade)

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. A development leftover from Halo 3: a firebomb which shatters upon impact and ignites the ground at the impact site.

dmr (DMR)

A designated marksman rifle: the main precision weapon in Halo: Reach. Headshot-capable, with a scope for long-range combat and a fire rate appropriate for medium-range combat. It can also damage vehicles, though at the cost of a large amount of ammo.

assault_rifle (Assault Rifle)

A fully-automatic assault rifle.

plasma_pistol (Plasma Pistol)

A small Covenant pistol that fires green plasma bolts. It can be charged up to fire a very large plasma bolt accompanied by an EMP that disables vehicles and drains player shields.

plasma_repeater (Plasma Repeater)

The Covenant counterpart to the Assault Rifle. Unlike most Covenant weapons, the Plasma Repeater's cooldown can be initiated manually, akin to early reloading when using a human weapon.

energy_sword (Energy Sword)

A Covenant melee weapon which generates a blade made of plasma. If Title Update 1 settings are enabled, then the only thing that can block a blow from an Energy Sword is another Energy Sword; if the relevant settings are not enabled, then any melee attack can block a sword swing.

magnum (Magnum)

A large pistol designed for use by Spartans. It has a relatively fast fire rate compared to its Halo 3 counterpart, and it has a scope.

needler (Needler)

A Covenant weapon which fires a series of needles that home in on their target. If enough needles enter an unshielded target, they will produce a deadly "supercombine" explosion.

A fully-automatic Covenant weapon which fires plasma bolts.

rocket_launcher (Rocket Launcher)

A rocket launcher. It can load up to two rockets at a time.

shotgun (Shotgun)

gravity_hammer (Gravity Hammer)

A Covenant melee weapon which generates a powerful physics impuolse when swung.

mauler

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. A development leftover from Halo 3: a cross between a pistol and a shotgun, with a drum magazine.

flamethrower

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. A development leftover from Halo 3: a large flamethrower. In that game, it functioned like a detachable turret.

missile_pod

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. A development leftover from Halo 3: a large cannon capable of firing homing missiles at vehicles.

warthog (Warthog)

A Warthog. Use a variant ID to select a specific variety of Warthog to spawn.

ghost (Ghost)

A single-occupant Covenant vehicle capable of strafing and rapid boosting. It has two mounted plasma cannons.

scorpion (Scorpion)

A tank, with a main cannon operable by the driver and an anti-infantry chaingun operable by a second occupant. I hear it beats everything.

wraith (Wraith)

A Covenant tank, with a mortar launcher operable by the driver and an anti-infantry plasma turret operable by a second occupant.

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. A development leftover.

heavy_wraith

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. A development leftover.

falcon (Falcon)

A human air vehicle with two door guns operable by passengers.

sabre

An UNSC space vehicle capable of housing a single occupant. Sabres are armed with a chaingun and lock-on missiles, and can perform evasive maneuvers similarly to a Banshee. In addition, they can rotate about the roll axis, allowing them to turn sideways or upside-down mid-flight. This maneuverability comes at a cost, however: like Banshees, Sabres have a constant forward thrust, but a Sabre moves faster and takes damage upon any impact with the environment.

sprint (Sprint)

An Armor Ability that allows its user to sprint forward for short periods of time.

jetpack (Jetpack)

An Armor Ability that allows its user to hover upwards for short periods of time.

armor_lock (Armor Lock)

An Armor Ability that allows players to become completely invincible to all damage, reflect incoming projectiles including actual rockets fired from an actual rocket launcher directly back at the person firing them, for several seconds, while also releasing an EMP upon deactivation which disables vehicles and strips shields, all at the minor cost of immobilizing the user (but not their teammates) while activated.

power_fist

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. A development leftover: a scrapped Armor Ability.

active_camo_aa (Active Camo (Armor Ability))

An Armor Ability that allows its user to become invisible for short periods of time. The camouflage effect becomes significantly weaker if the user moves, and the ability also emits a radar jamming effect that can alert enemies to its use.

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. Testing indicates that this does not correspond to the Sender-Node Teleporters placeable in Forge.

teleporter_receiver

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. Testing indicates that this does not correspond to the Receiver-Node Teleporters placeable in Forge.

phantom_device (Phantom, Device)

resupply_capsule

A drop pod for a single weapon, like those seen in Firefight; as of this writing, the object is only available on Anchor 9. Unfortunately, the pod is sealed, and there doesn't seem to be any way to open it. Its tag data suggests that it opens when it reaches 0% health, implying that Firefight opens it by using scripts to "kill" it; however, attempting to do the same with Megalo scripts produces no result.

resupply_capsule_open

This value is not used by the engine and will not spawn or match any object. This tag is not defined even in Firefight maps, which define the "closed" variant. Examination of the "closed" variant's tags suggest that an explicit "open" variant shouldn't even be necessary.

An object which defines a camera view that can be used during the initial loadout selection period at the start of a round. Note that the game doesn't anchor the camera to one of these markers when using it; it simply moves the camera to it. The distinction being made is that using scripts to move an Initial Loadout Camera marker will not animate the camera view being displayed.

invisible_covenant_resupply_capsule (invis_cov_resupply_capsule)

This tag is defined on Boneyard, and inspection with third-party tools indicates that it takes the form of an invisible cube. Its function has yet to be tested in-game.
