At the Flight's start, available content included;
*Several new ''Halo 3'' armor permutations.
**''Halo: Fireteam Raven'' armors.
**[[RHINE-class Mjolnir]] from ''Halo Online''.

We will be updating the flight, but unfortunately Phase 1 for CGB will not be flighted at this time.|D=10|M=3|Y=2021}} 
This update also changed the Sword and Board back accessory to be color-coded to the player primary color, replaced the crack in the skull on the shield with lacerations, and removed one sword and raised the model to prevent it from clipping with chestpieces.

Players can now use the Exchange to spend season points on unique customizations from past Seasons or limited-time challenges. Visit the Exchange from the main menu to see what’s currently available.

=====New Halo 3 Map: “Waterfall”=====
Originally made for Halo Online, the map Waterfall is now available in Halo 3 Custom Games. Waterfall is a symmetrical map that supports all major game variants in Halo 3.

Waterfall received significant updates after flight testing, but we would like to gather more data from players around performance or bugs so we can make sure Waterfall is ready to enter the regular rotation in matchmaking.

=====New game variant: “Escalation Slayer”=====
In Escalation Slayer, players progress through a series of weapons by earning kills with each one. When a player gets a kill with the final weapon, they win the round. You can also downgrade opponents to the previous weapon tier by assassinating them or sticking them with a Plasma Grenade.

Escalation Slayer will be available in Halo: Reach, Halo 4, and Halo 2: Anniversary. Players can configure game settings to customize the experience and create unique variants.

==Cut Season content==
Season 6 was originally slated to release with two former-''Halo Online'' maps. While Waterfall made it into the final release, the map [[Edge]] was cut from Season 6 during the season flighting, as [[343 Industries]] felt the map needed "fundamental improvements" before release.{{Ref/Site|Id=FlightUpdateM04|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/243780d3b80b4bb6ac7917a8942286db/topics/mcc-development-flighting-updates/3e3252e1-297a-4590-a7ab-67c133b3d37d/posts?page=4#post72|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=MCC Development & Flighting Updates|Detail=Page 4, Post 72|D=05|M=3|Y=2021}} The Custom Game Browser and the View Model Offset were also originally intended to debut in Season 6, though were eventually cut. The Sword and Board backpack piece for ''Halo 3'' originally appeared in the flight with two crossed [[machete]]s and a blue [[UNSC shield|shield]], though in the updated flight build this was updated to just one machete and a shield inheriting the player colour.
