The Tearful Bishop helmet was available as part of the [[flight]]ing test for [[Season 8: Mythic]], though was cut from the final release for unknown reasons. The helmet would have been available as part of the [[Blackguard armor|Blackguard]] series of [[Fracture]] armour for ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|CFMyths}} The helmet would be re-added into the MCC in the November 3 update, but the name was changed to "Blackguard Fallen Equerry", and the cross-shape visor and description were altered.
One of [[Cut Halo: Reach armor|several]] pieces of equipment cut from the original release of the [[Anniversary Map Pack]] for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' in [[2011]], the "Preserve" chest can be found in the files of the collection, fully-textured. Unlike its siblings in the [[Armor accessories/EXO|EXO/TSCS]] chest and [[AKIS]] & [[Mariner]] helmets, this chest has yet to be implemented for use as an [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor permutation]].
