== Overview ==
While prior ''Halo'' games featured [[power-up]]s in the form of [[Overshield]] and [[Active camouflage]], these on-map pickups were activated immediately upon acquisition. ''Halo 3'' introduced equipment as a new addition to the "golden triangle" of ''Halo'' gameplay alongside weapons, grenades and melee. Equipment can be found in campaign and multiplayer as pickups in the game world - once picked up, they can be activated at any time with a single button press. Equipment are single-use pickups and only one such item can be carried at a time.

=== Halo 3 ===
In ''Halo 3'', equipment can be found in campaign and multiplayer modes. In the campaign, equipment can be employed by the player and by [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] AI enemies, with several equipment pieces reserved for the campaign not available in multiplayer. Most equipment can be found in multiplayer placed on the map like any other [[power weapon]]. The mainstay list of equipment found in multiplayer includes the [[TR/9 trip mine|trip mine]], [[Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield]], [[deployable cover]], [[flare]], [[Portable gravity lift|gravity lift]], [[power drain]], [[regenerator]] and [[radar jammer]]. The campaign features all of the prior-listed equipment with the addition of the [[Invincibility]], [[Cloaking]] and [[Forerunner automated turret|Auto-Turret]]. 

The Invincibility equipment can only be found by killing [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftains]], while the Cloaking can be found on the bodies of [[Jiralhanae Stalker|Stalkers]] and on the map in some areas. The Auto-Turret is exclusively found in a handful of levels and can only be used by the player. The Auto-Turret has since seen its addition to multiplayer with the release of ''Halo 3'' on PC as part of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', and can now be spawned in [[Forge/Halo 3|Forge]] mode.

In ''Halo 3'' Forge, equipment can be used to [[Overload Glitch (Halo 3)|overload]] a map, allowing the player to escape the map's confines.

=== Halo 3: ODST ===
Almost all equipment - with the exception of the gravity lift, auto-turret, regenerator and radar jammer - can be found again in ''Halo 3: ODST''. Unlike ''Halo 3'', equipment cannot be used by the player, and only exists within the game to be used by Brute enemies against the player.

===''Halo Infinite''===
''Halo Infinite'' features the return of ''Halo 3''-style equipment pick ups, with several abilities new to the series including the [[Grappleshot]] and [[Drop wall]].

The design was cut due to the fact that it was too "expensive" from a networking and performance standpoint.{{citation needed}}

The game's equipment includes the [[Grappleshot]], [[Drop wall]], [[Thruster (Halo Infinite)|Thruster]], [[Repair Field]], [[Repulsor]], [[Threat Sensor]], [[Threat Seeker]], and [[Shroud Screen]]. In addition to these, overshield and active camouflage have also been melded into the equipment system, now called "power equipment." Like other equipment, both the overshield and active camouflage can be picked up and held, with the player being able to activate them on demand after a short animation. On top of the overshield and active camouflage, a third power equipment called the [[Quantum Translocator]] was also added. Unlike ''Halo 3'', equipment use differs greatly between campaign and multiplayer. Four pieces of equipment in ''Halo Infinite'' can be equipped at once in campaign and recharge similar to armor abilities. This equipment can also be upgraded with Spartan cores.{{Ref/Site|Id=IIFeb2021|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-february-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Inside Infinite - February 2021}} In multiplayer matchmaking, only one piece of equipment can be used at a time, like in ''Halo 3'', but retains multiple uses per pickup varying on game mode.{{Ref/YouTube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgrbXe-CMaE|Channel=HALO|VideoName=#Ask343 Halo Infinite - Zeta Halo}}

-**In ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', there's a [[Type-54 plasma pistol]] variant named "[[Void's Tear]]" that works similarly to this cut piece of Equipment.
