Best AND Worst Halo Equipment of all Time From Every Halo Game 

love the grappleshot but I’ll always be impartial to the trip mine. useless in 99% of scenarios but will absolutely turn the tide when that full gauss hog on standoff comes around for its fifth pass.

Fun fact about the active camo in reach: when you use it in campaign, it silences your shots. Super useful during the sniper mission

Shoutout to the Luke intro. Would love to see that more :)

Drop Shield was my go to armor equipment in Halo Reach's campaign. My life was saved countless times by it during my legendary run.

Health regen wasn't useful? What are you smoking, that's one of the best equipments in the game. Throw it down in a good position, and it basically takes 3 opponents or a power weapon to kill you.

I gotta admit the grappling hook changes the way I see Halo as a game now, it's so game changing

Don’t sleep on the Drop Shield, it has a respectable amount of health and provides healing. Unless your enemies have a vehicle or heavy weapons, they aren’t going dump many rounds into the shield due to it being able to shrug off one blast from a laser

Halo 3 actually had two invisibility equipment. There was Cloaking equipment in Campaign(which was often missed), which was similar to invincibility in functionality, and the active camo pickup in multi-player. But other than that, this was a very informative video. Keep up the great work!

Hardlight shield is useful for blocking melee and explosives in multiplayer. It served its purpose in multiplayer simply put it no one knew how to use it.

People always forget when discussing the Reach Active Camo that it also carries the Radar Jammer functionality built into it. It's a great way to confuse enemies and throw some extra chaos into a firefight.

It would be nice to hear the both of you have your own narration for different videos. You both have your own charms and I enjoy both of your ways of talking about things and ways of discussion. Also, armour lock was amazing, but OP and frustrating just trying to drive around

I feel like all of halo 3s multiplayer equipment did very well especially in competitive halo they had their own place like a regen on top of sniper tower or a emp ball to take out a group of enemies

I remember when I was trying out a new controller layout I accidentally threw a land mine and I just walked away and like 15 seconds later I got a Double Kill.

Does anyone ever notice how the ODSTs have the VISR with the augmented night/thermal composite vision...while Chief and the other Spartans get a fuckin' flashlight?

Favorite: Power drain. It's so satisfying getting multis with the BR after placing it well. Least favorite: Flare.

Trip mines helped overload the guardians on Sanbox so you could wander around in the desert.

Threat Sensor fully upgraded is amazing. I used it all the time. They aren't ready for the snipes when you can see when they're gonna pop out from behind cover.

I feel like im the only one who absolutely loved H4's multiayer. I loved the loadouts and bonus ornament drops for doing well etc. And the H4 br was just so good. Ver balanced compared to the dmr. Unlike H5 where the dmr was waaaaay better.

I disagree with the thumbnail. The reach bubble shield was useful for healing your health. It may not be immune but it heals your health so I find it useful as health kit or a small bit of shielding. So in my opinion, both Halo 3 and Halo Reach's bubble shields are useful if they're used correctly I guess.

My favorites CE: Overshield H2: Camo H3: Invincibility ODST: Health Pack Reach: Sprint H4: Auto Sentry H5: Slide/Thrust Infinite: Grappleshot

Trip mine is by far my favorite. Would get a group of my friends one-shot and all walk over a friendly trip mine at once. 3 betrayals for whoever placed it: see ya! ✌️😂

I personally love the bubble shield in reach. Thing made legendary solo viable since i had the ability to fall back and recharge health. In invasion i also find it useful in several scenarioes whether attack or defense. Evasion I absolutely love since nothing beats just yeeting yourself around Hologram I find is something that still catches me off guard (since your not expecting it since you know it), especially in bigger team games when you have to kill quick and can't afford the couple second (also shout ouch to the glitch in classic reach that would random shuffle the armor letting you see other pieces). I admitedly also love hologram for messing around and checking out my spartan. Also useful for campaign snipers Invisibility was more a tool for ambush and such, the decoys 8 found actually useful for throwing off exact positokn, also it can delock making it useful to counter sword lunge and needler Just wanted my two cents on less appreciated abilities or less known aspects (reach jetpack still awesome, I believe I can fly)

I grew up on halo reach but still to this day whenever i play halo 3 i always forget to use the equipment 😂 i dont think I’ve ever even used one correctly either

The halo infinite thruster is great for one on one battles, it's enough for someone with an AR to lose you and let you get the advantage or someone with an energy sword to miss. Easily though it's best use is with the energy sword in close quarters, close that bit of distance the enemy was desperately backpedalling to keep and really make them panic!

The Hardlight Shield was amazing in BTB, you could deflect power weapon and vehicle shots back at people like you do with the Repulsor in Infinite. Once I figured that out it was my go to AA on my BTB loadout. It was less viable in smaller matches, but I mostly played BTB personally

Reach Bubbleshield was amazing, the ability to heal you and regen shields was very useful. On the otherhand, drop wall doesn't seem to be worth the time it takes to place, agenced even the AR it doesn't last long enough for you to deal back the damage taken when you were placing it and not shooting

Halo 3 regen was broken haha. I think people are just to nostalgic towards Halo 3 to see it. I think Halo 4's version of the Regen was a lot more balanced (putting aside the fact that it was an armor ability) in terms of its duration and how quickly it would heal you

Always loved how the H3 bubble shield kinda made a little arena within the arena, had so many fun encounters trying to dance in and out of there. Always wished you could whip it into the ground like chief does in the trailer though, that could've been cool with the shield wall in infinite too

I always liked Reach's hologram, and I never found that it "stopped working". It was especially fun in team games with friends - make all your armor the same and use holograms extensively, and there are all kinds of wacky individual and group tactics you can use.

The one time in Halo 4 multiplayer I recall that the Hardlight shield was used effectively was when I was playing a BTB game and both teams decided to focus all of their attention on this one super narrow hallway on the map. The enemy team kept steamrolling us because half of them would form a phalanx with the hardlight shields while the other half of their team would throw grenades over their shield bearing teammates heads.

Always loved the hologram, had a few "you think this is the real Quaid" moments.

Fastest click in the west

I can’t believe I didn’t know that the Reach drop shield restores your health. How did I never notice?

It was cool to hear Luke’s voice in the intro, I know he doesn’t do the main talking but maybe he can have more parts like that intro. Great video :)

The drop wall does have its niche uses in Halo Infinite - though weak against bullets, it can actually fully absorb incoming explosive damage and thus save you from a grenade or rocket launcher. There's even a medal for it - Boom Block.

Love using a trip mine at the beginning of a rat race ctf match. Also despawning objects on the map when my friends and I would play forge.

Just a small detail. You forgot to mention that the active camouflage from Halo Reach and 4 has the effect from the jammer in Halo 3. It also silenced your shots and deafens you

I won a game that was 49 to 49 when someone shot a rocket at me and I used the repulser to shoot the rocket back at him and I killed him one of my favorite things to happen in infinite multiplayer

what a rare treat to hear Luke. Would be nice to see yall take turns on lists and stuff

Bro Nice video, i love this type of videos where someone with knowledge reviews cool Halo things...

Regeneration field is legit the most op of the halo 3 equipment imo. You say that "you'd regenerate your shield eventually anyways". Sure but peaking out of cover immidiatly with less risk is a big advantage and instantly getting regen made it so you basicly had an overshield equvalent of shields if you did it right. It could even be broken as hell if you put it on a highground and stacked with your team.

Bubble shield, Grapple, deployable cover, threat sensor, jet pack, evade, and the drop shield in reach are probably my favorites! All really cool equipments! 👍🏻

Halo 3 Radar Jammer and Flare were awesome for horror, hide and go seek, and some 360 Duck Hunt game modes. Actually used those a massive amount and my friends and I loved them! Just hilarious to yell "FLARE!" at the Duck Hunt Sniper while throwing it into their box.

17:03 You know, there's this thing... from every other Halo... called the Gravity Hammer? The Repulsor... just stole everything the Hammer had. The GRAVITY Hammer.

Great vid like always

I love the part in halo 3 where there are a bunch of choppers because I always keep a tripmine in my back pocket so I can blow them off the map

As a part of the base game, it’s fun how it is. But it would be AMAZING to have a Doom style setup for the abilities for each game, maybe even a sandbox where you can choose from a few of the abilities throughout the games. It would make multiplayer an enjoyable hell ( :D ). It would also be fun as a campaign mechanic

I love the health regen. Even on legendary you can throw it down and tank a few brutes if you just barely strafe. I used it on turret cheiftains as well.

my favorite part about sprint in halo reach is the justification for it being an armor ability was kat made something that would override the spartan III armor's safety measures temporarily and let the user move quicker

Great video The worst thing was a brute throwing a flare whilst accidentally activating the VISR on Halo 3:ODST on a daytime map

Halo 3’s regenerator and Halo Reach’s drop shield are actually both fairly powerful in a large variety of situations. The regenerator makes the window for headshots in Halo 3 tiny, since your shields come back instantly. It also gives you an edge against an opponent without power weapons if you have no cover. The drop shield in Halo Reach is extremely useful for game types that involve defending a specific location, since the mobility trade off isn’t as important. It has a surprising amount of health, and can serve as a portable health pack.

The hologram was my favorite suit equipment in Reach, at least in campaign. Sure, the jetpack was really useful in an handful of levels, but to me the ability to make the enemies look somewhere else consistently in battle was the most useful thing ever. Not as good against real people, but I don't play multi-player much anyway.

I wish the thruster pack allowed you to slide off of it like in halo 5. Especially because you can with the grapple shot. It would make it a more mobile and important pickup.

I acc loved the hardlight shield. I found it so useful. Also the bubble shield in reach was one of my favourites

Remember using the active camo to remove sound of my footsteps on single player so I could approach from behind unnoticed and assassinate then, apparently they can hear you walking and running towards then

Repulsor is an under rated pick up. Its anti vehicle push it away, anti sword to keep them far enough away to kill (a bit less for hammer). use it on the flag to push it, on the power seeds. Can push enemies off and away from objectives.

I am madly in love with the grappleshot but I gotta throw a bone to the repulsor, an ability that I thought was kinda basic and boring but turns out has TONS of creative uses.

It would've been cool if you could pick a movement ability separate to armour abilities. Sprinting would be the default but you could swap it out for another movement based ability like evasion, the grappleshot or a jetpack

Hologram has still helped me out so much. In legendary campaign it was clutch when you were low on health and on mcc everyone still falls for it

Played halo reach over a dozen times, never knew the drop shield refilled your health meter. Neat

sprinting around in close quarters maps w the grappleshot and sword is exhilarating 10/10. i also use the repulsor when swords come at me from the front, also 10/10

I used Hardlight shield in Halo 4 for CTF block gunfire and protect the flag carrier. Hardlight and Thrusters are my go to in Halo 4 MP

Bruh, You can shoot out of the deployable covie shield... How many freaking times i've played halo 3 and I had no clue

Luke, I appreciate hearing your voice in these videos. Pleasant surprise!

I actually have a really funny story for the Halo 3 Trip Mine. My bros and I were playing a juggernaut variant where the juggernaut only gets slight buffs but their speed is cranked to maximum. I'm charging my brother with a gravity hammer and he throws down a trip mine in hope to blow me up. But I charge through it before it's deployed. Going back in the replay showed that the mine was down when I ran over it, I must've been frame perfect timing between when I ran over it and when it actually activated.

I fell in love with the grappleshot when I first played infinite on my Infinite Edition Series X.

Oh my! Your voice… you reversed the affects of puberty omg😱😱😂 great video. Love it!

Just wanna say, Drop Shield in Reach is so OP when it comes to Legendary. The shield doesnt last very long, but it buys that few extra seconds and gives some nice regen which is very useful for tanking more shots in a firefight where you cant get a medkit.

The Halo: Reach active camo is the active camo that Spartan III suits came with. Since every Spartan in Reach, minus Chief and Jorge, were Spartan IIIs, that's why it's the way it is

Most favorite: grappleshot Least favorite: sprint in halo reach. Only because it a short duration and it make you not want to pick up something else due to how slow youll feel

I can’t even describe how much time the drop shield saved me playing reach on legendary, that thing regens all your health and was god tier whatever you found it

I miss halo 4s thruster. I liked how it put you in third person. Allowed for some crazy maneuvers.

When I use the threat sensor, I used it to my teams advantage byy sticking it to a warthog ssoo thaat my team can encounter with a strategy! The drop shield I used for quite Cover when I need it! It’s also really useful in high areas for sniping, and it’s useful for picking off players with the high ground while you have deployable cover!

Damage boost and speed boost were a thing from ordnance drops of Halo 4, but you only mentioned them in h5

I enjoy using the drop shield, and would use it more often if it was applicable in a wider variety of situations.

Hologram still good today cause usually when someone knows where you are, but you don’t know where they are, they jumpy to shoot the first thing and i can see where they shoot from. Lots of good plays with hologram still. It’s slept on

i love spending time figuring ways to make equipment feel useful, like the Flare in Halo 3 gets very under-utilized when it works great to get a jump on an enemy sniper or a team that is bunkered down in a power weapon spawn. The Shield Drain also works great when enemies are close together, or in BTB they're an easily available way to deal with vehicles. The Jammer is a lot more niche, for example in a situation where your team is determined to take a specific route through the map, if you use it while flanking there's a good chance you can catch the enemy team off-guard. The Regen is great to use aggressively, tossing it as you start a shootout with an enemy to have an extra BR shot or two before they can get your shields down for a headshot (and then having a very small window of time before you start healing); again, it's great in BTB and maps with long-range encounters. In Reach, if you roll on certain objects you can gain a lot of speed. Halo 4's Shield can be used to peak around corners in 3rd person, and the Regen has similar upsides to H3, but it recharges so you constantly have the upper hand in BR encounters. Halo Infinite's Drop Wall gives you a chance at a few free hits in an encounter, so it can become somewhat of a reliable defensive option if you deploy it fast enough and can aim while walking back and forth to get behind panels that haven't been shot. Also the Repulsor is S-tier in Fiesta because you can counter Rockets, push away people with Swords and Hammers about to get you, and you can easily traverse maps vertically. The Repulsor is only second to the Grapple because there's nothing more unstoppable than the Grapple/Sword combo.

The Halo 4 Jetpack seems fine to me. As someone who got that dumb solo Spartan Ops achievement, I almost exclusively used the jetpack because the amount of mobility it gave was just about perfect.

Luke intro was awesome would love to see that more!!!

1:57 well in defense of Halo 2 the flashlight helps to spot invisible enemies easier, you can see the shadow of the invi enemy and a slight visual distortion which usually indicated that there were someone with invisibility, it worked both in campaing and multiplayer, I used to have the flashlight always on just in case, skill which the flashlight retained until Halo 5, in Halo Infinity this sanbox option was completely removed, but in exchange elites with invisibility are much less lethal than in previous Halo games but in multiplayer you are completely at mercy of invisible anemies it is really hard to spot someone with invisibility in Halo infinity.

I played halo since halo came out and I never knew you could shoot through that shield. That’s crazy

17:11 may seem very basic but im calling it now, theres gonna be a volleyball custom game in infinite

I once put a trip mine on rats nest and 3 minutes later I got a double betrayals and got booted out of the match

I hope halo infinite has the ability upgraded forms from the campaign in forge. I think it'd be interesting because the upgraded grappleshot acts like a more versatile version of the halo 5 ground pound. It'd be kinda nice as an option for custom games. That few seconds of invisibility after using the truster might be the deciding factor in an infection match, just to name a few potential examples

My main love is the bubble shield, mainly the Reach variation due to the healing factor, and then are the grappling hook and the thruster. I didn't play a lot of Halo 3 but I can say for certain that I didn't liked the mine and hated the flare.

Haven't played infinite but ngl Im between Active Camo and Hardlight Shield. Both have around the same amount of utility time in multiplayer. My go-to move was baiting around a corner with a dmr or a shotgun, popping camo, then let the rest play out as expected. With the shield, it was really fun to completely stuff Fuel Rod Cannon and launcher users. Its not meant to be used as a shield, more like a parry. You see that sh*t coming your way, tap the button for a sec, and youre still alive with half your shield left to use again if needed.

I was playing the mission halo in halo 3 on laso but I was solo so very hard i put down the sentry beam and thought nothing of it but on the way out it killed me and I had to start the mission all over again 😂

Grappleshot, plus the Reach Jetpack. That sounds like traversal heaven right there!

I absolutely adore the Repulsor, I just wish they made it into a full movement tool. The fact that you can only use it to go up is kinda disappointing. I would love to be able to launch myself horizontally by using it against a wall, but I guess it would kinda make the Thruster less useful.

Love the grappleshot but I still have go to the classic bubble from halo 3 hehe.

7:35 a lot of people don't know this but that mission on reach was like halo ce the level design under cover night haga

Damn, I was hopping you would touch on spartan stike/ assault, it had alot of unike equipment and mightve had the most equipment in halo game, it even had a mini version of the bomb from halo 2

Loved hearing luke in the beginning there!

maaaaany years ago when i was still playing my 360 and the one wasent even announced i just replayed halo 4 over and over like specific levels for some reason (i dont think i ever actually finished the game nor understood what was happening) but i NEVER even KNEW that there were abilities

The problem with the trip mine is that for multiplayer it's way too visible. And in campaign, enemies don't really run over it and standing in front of a vehicle to deploy it isn't usually a good idea. The damage wasn't as good as it should've been. On the other hand I found the regenerator to be very handy since it lets you be far more tanky.

The regeneration shield was an excellent panic button as far as I'm concerned, and the auto-turret SLAPPED ! I mean, I barely needed a gun once I got my hands on that thing in campaign...

4:54. Bro regeneration field was the most OP equipment in the game. That regeneration field can single handle help you win a 4v1 with its constant regeneration.

You can use the flare and radar jammer to do double jumps in Halo 3 :) Also, Drop Shield was so good it was straight up removed from Reach pvp

I think one of my favorite halo memories was going online with my 2 cousins and all three of us armor locking to stop a guy from getting a rocket triple kill

There were the Halo 5 pickup abilities as well but they’re not too much different from other pick-ups like OS and AC
