The '''Spartan | The '''Spartan doll easter egg''' is an easter egg that can be found in each of the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[multiplayer]] levels of the [[Anniversary Map Pack]] included in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''. These [[toy|dolls]] are roughly the same size of the teddy bear seen in the [[campaign]] level ''[[Exodus]]'', but which wear the [[PRESERVE-class Mjolnir|PRESERVE-class helmet]] and [[CONDEMNED-class Mjolnir|CONDEMNED-class chest piece]], which were previously thought to have been part of the same set, nicknamed "GRD" by the community.<ref name="GRDOrigin">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/cdecc00475c645b9a4d0a156fb542d59/topics/the-only-thread-about-that-helmet/f1f8c897-0de0-4c0f-a2e6-e4d06f3845c8/posts?page=7#post126 '''''Halo Waypoint''' - Forums'' - The *only* thread about that helmet!] {{C|This thread features the first known use of the name "GRD"}}</ref> They are required to be either knocked down from wherever they are located to be seen clearly in gameplay or to use certain methods to access certain areas. | ||

*'''[[Breakneck]]''': Head to the Construction Stairwell and head to the top of the stairs. Look above you and notice the ceiling is not completed. The doll is above the tiled sections and it is hard to see because of the dark. Shooting it down with either a typical gun or some form of explosive will do the trick. | *'''[[Breakneck]]''': Head to the Construction Stairwell and head to the top of the stairs.

*'''[[High Noon]]''': This doll depends a lot on luck. The doll is well out of bounds above the Blue Base area on the top of the left side of the large Forerunner structure. Barely visible without a scoped weapon, a [[Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]] or [[Type-52 Special Applications Rifle|Focus Rifle]] is necessary to shoot it down. The tricky thing is shooting it so it falls correctly, as it can fall where it cannot be obtained outside the map. If hit correctly, it should land around Blue Base. | *'''[[High Noon]]''': This doll depends a lot on luck.

*'''[[Installation 04 ( | *'''[[Installation 04 (level)|Installation 04]]''': Perhaps the most difficult due to the kill boundary, the player will first need a [[Series 8 jetpack|jetpack]] (playing a custom [[Firefight]] match and setting the equipment to unlimited would be a great help) to reach the doll, which is located on top of the cliff in the East Drop Zone area. To the right of the mass of smaller rocks on the cliff face is the doll near the cliff edge, laying against a small boulder with plants growing out of it. You have only ten seconds to reach it before you die. If you fail to get up there the first time, it is recommended you hang back and let the clock build back up to ten seconds. Having less enemies to fight or making yourself invulnerable may also be a good idea. | ||
*'''[[Penance]]''': This doll is hidden behind the circular panel at the far right at the top of the stairs in the Control Room area. It is incorrectly believed that you have to use a phased [[Gravity Lift]] in [[Forge]] to obtain this doll, but it is as simple as holding X/RB while standing in front of the control panel closest to the circular panel the doll is behind. It triggers a switch and the panel opens, pushing the doll out. | *'''[[Penance]]''': This doll is hidden behind the circular panel at the far right at the top of the stairs in the Control Room area.

*'''[[Ridgeline]]''': In the Overlook area near the cliff edge to the West, the doll is inside the only crate you are not able to delete in Forge (the crate is of the CRATE, HEAVY, SMALL variety). Blasting off the lid with an explosive or meleeing it reveals the doll. A large enough explosion will actually throw it out of the box. | *'''[[Ridgeline]]''': In the Overlook area near the cliff edge to the West, the doll is inside the only crate you are not able to delete in Forge (the crate is of the CRATE, HEAVY, SMALL variety).
