These civilian weapons were conceived by [[:Category:Images by Glenn Israel|Glenn Israel]] in [[2009]] and later modeled for inclusion in-game. These were not intended to appear as useable weapons for any player or character, and instead simply decorative props that could be found in some of the "pioneer" environments in levels such as [[Winter Contingency]] and [[Nightfall]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.instagram.com/p/Bamdxf1naLv/|Site=Instagram|Page=Glenn Israel|Quote=Halo Reach - Pioneer decor exploration (2009)|D=27|M=04|Y=2022}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.instagram.com/p/Bamds0RHj_b/|Site=Instagram|Page=Glenn Israel|Quote=Halo Reach - Pioneer decor exploration (2009)|D=27|M=04|Y=2022}}
These weapons were concepted and modelled, though seemingly intended to simply appear as decor rather than weapons useable by any character or player. The weapons remain in the files of the [[Halo: Reach Alpha|''Halo: Reach'' Alpha]] build, listed with the following names;{{Ref/Twitter|Gamecheat13|1487618549019549696|cheato|Quote=Halo Reach originally had some civilian weapons made as scenery.

==Covenant mortar==
The [[Covenant]] mortar was a weapon conceived by Glenn Israel, though whether it received any 3D development is unknown. Concept explorations posted by Israel showcase a weapon held in a manner akin to the [[Brute Shot]] or {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}}, or able to be deployed as a static emplacement. Some of the concepts show some designs more akin to the [[plasma mortar]] found on the [[Wraith]] and [[Revenant]] vehicles. The concept explorations pictured were done in [[2009]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.instagram.com/p/BbSiLEZHgJ5/|Site=Instagram|Page=Glenn Israel|Quote=Halo Reach - Covenant mortar exploratory sketches (2009)|D=28|M=04|Y=2022}}

==Forerunner staff==
The object named <code>forerunner_staff</code> can be found in the files for the ''Halo: Reach'' DLC tag build. It is unclear as to what purpose the staff would have served, given the game's predominantly-[[human]] focus - though it may have been intended for usage on the game's DLC maps.{{Ref/Twitter|zeddikins|1485808841111572480|zeddikins|Quote=i forget if h4 has forerunner_staff|D=13|M=02|Y=2022}}
