Regardless of the skin used, the Arbiter is equipped with a [[Mosa-pattern carbine|Covenant carbine]], an [[energy sword]] (the [[Prophets' Bane]], the {{Pattern|Domotos|energy sword}}, or the [[unidentified energy sword pattern]]) and {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s, and [[active camouflage]]. Using the default ''Halo 5: Guardians'' Kaidon skin arms the Arbiter with Thel 'Vadam's personal energy sword, [[Prophets' Bane]], though the ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' skin uses a standard Type-1 energy sword. The player can also outfit the Arbiter with the combat harness from ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', the Ascetic armor from ''Halo 3'', the Ranger and Zealot harnesses from ''Halo: Reach'', and the Storm and Commander armors from ''Halo 4''.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-fighting-words '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Fighting Words'']</ref>

The Arbiter's stage is the Arena of Judgment, a long-abandoned structure on [[Sanghelios]]. The stage background features a battle between the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]]. As the match progresses, the battle destroys the statues and other structures constituting the arena. Vehicles such as [[Mikpramu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] and [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarabs]] occasionally crash into the scenery.

'''STAGE ULTRA: CRATERED: '''During a Stage Ultra Combo, the victor knocks their opponent back onto the ground, just as a Scarab bursts through the wall. As they slowly lift themselves up, an out-of-control [[D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee|Banshee]] falls from the sky in a tailspin through the hole opened by the Scarab. The opponent turns to face the sounds of destruction just in time to see the Banshee hit the ground at an angle, flip up into the air, and land on top of the opponent, crushing them.
