The ''' | The '''GRD 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 dolls are roughly the same size of the teddy bear seen in the [[campaign]] level ''[[Exodus]]'', with the GRD helmet on their head. They are required to be knocked down from wherever they are located to be seen clearly in gameplay. | ||

*'''[[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.

*'''[[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.

*'''[[Installation 04 ( | *'''[[Installation 04 (level)|Installation 04]]''': Perhaps the most difficult due to the kill boundary, the player will first need a [[Portable jump-jet|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 GRD 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 GRD doll is inside the only crate you are not able to delete in Forge (the crate is of the CRATE, HEAVY, SMALL variety).

*'''[[Solitary]]''': This can only be done through use of Forge and is the most complex method of getting a doll, though guaranteed to work in one go if done correctly. Go to the 2nd Floor area, stand on the bridge above the Forerunner crate and go South. You will see a window with blue tubes on the other side. The doll is in there. Spawn a teleporter (TWO-WAY or RECEIVER), set it to PHASED, place it inside the room (coordinates may need to be used), then spawn another (SENDER or TWO-WAY) and walk through it. In the right side of the room is the doll in the only section without a tube in it. | *'''[[Solitary]]''': This can only be done through use of Forge and is the most complex method of getting a GRD doll, though guaranteed to work in one go if done correctly.

[[File: | [[File:New helmet.jpg|thumb|The GRD helmet seen in the Defiant Map Pack's official screenshots.]] | ||
*The | *The helmet was rumored to be be a new unlockable item in ''Halo: Reach'', having been seen in screenshots of the upcoming [[Defiant Map Pack]] being worn by players and even in [[Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|the Armory]] of a [[Bungie]] employee on [[Bungie Day]], but the rumors were apparently false. However, [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant|Recon]] armor for ''[[Halo 3]]'' was not unlocked to the public until 2010, three years after ''Halo 3'' came out. It is possible the GRD dolls are meant to take the place of the [[Halo 3 Skulls#Mythic Skulls|Mythic Skulls]] and that a new [[achievement]] similar to [[Vidmaster Challenge: Brainpan]] could be coming in the future. | ||

Below it are the characters, "GRD M01408-G."<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=20933986 Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details]</ref> Whether or not this is some kind of code hinting at when the GRD helmet will become available is yet to be seen. | ||
