'''Loadouts''', also dubbed '''Weapon sets''' are a [[multiplayer]] feature that was first introduced in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. In ''Reach'' they are a predetermined set of classes that a player picks at both the beginning of a [[multiplayer]] match and during respawn. In ''[[Halo 4]]'',  loadouts were advanced to become personalized starting equipment. In ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', they are to be customized each time before starting a [[campaign]] mission. Known as '''Weapon sets''' in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'s'' multiplayer segment, loadouts operated as predetermined classes, rather than the modular classes seen in ''Halo 4''. Loadouts returned in ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'' and later in a refined fashion in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.

Loadouts were initially introduced in ''Halo: Reach'' as non-customizable, preset variations of weapons and armor abilities. Gametypes such as [[Slayer]] and [[Capture the Flag]] would opt to use loadouts featuring uniform weapon selections, with the differences between loadouts being the armor abilities present.

Loadouts are given an in-universe explanation. They are mandatory protocols issued to [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] personnel which dictate that they carry a primary weapon like a rifle, carry a secondary weapon like a pistol, choose grenades, equip an armor ability, choose [[tactical packages]], and assign a [[Support upgrades|support upgrade]].

Loadouts can be edited for use in custom gametypes. In this situation, "power weapons" like sniper rifles and rocket launchers can be added. Additionally, options that the player hasn't unlocked in War Games can still be used, even Specialization-specific tactical packages and support upgrades.

The primary weapon mainly offers a variety of UNSC or Covenant firearms. The secondary weapon slot, unlike in previous games, is not limited to small arms and includes many heavy weapons—the majority of them are only usable when purchased via in-game [[Experience point|XP]] or real-world [[credits]].

Loadouts received minimal use in ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' being in some social variations of gametypes present, such as [[Lockdown]] Slayer. While competitive gametypes would not use loadouts in the way ''Reach'' would, the player's starting weapons were curiously enough, dictated through a single loadout over native in game settings in some cases. Eventually, ''Anniversary's'' social gametypes would shift to using a single loadout.

Following in ''Spartan Assault's'' footsteps, ''Spartan Strike'' offers a wide variety of weaponry to equip in loadouts, ranging from assault rifles to heavy weapons like rocket launchers. Alongside these weapons are armor abilities and boosts. Like ''Spartan Assault'', weapons, armor abilities and boosters are single-use, only being available in the mission they're purchased for, and having to be purchased again if the player completes or quits the level.

Loadouts in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' would return, being present in a state more akin to ''Halo 4'' than ''Halo 2: Anniversary's'' more classic-styled approach, and would only be present in the game's [[Warzone]] offering. Like ''4'', ''5'' allowed the player to choose a primary and secondary weapon, however, the priority on sidearm secondaries is dropped in favor of a more free flowing approach, allowing the player to use two assault rifles, for example.
