The '''Weapon Holder''' is a device used by the [[Covenant]] for storing certain weapons, using [[anti-gravity technology]] to keep its weapon held aloft.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|H3|Weapon Holder in-game object}}
The '''Weapon Holder''' is a device used by the [[Covenant]] for storing certain weapons, using either anti-gravity or magnetic suspension to hold its cargo aloft. It is most often encountered in multiplayer levels holding the [[Energy Sword]] aloft, but can hold other weapons. It costs $3 and is available on every map.


==In-game information==
Weapon Holders don't only hold weapons; they can also hold the [[7 Wood]] (technically scenery) or any equipment like the [[Bubble Shield]] or [[Power Drain]], and even some scenery such as the [[Gravity Lift]], but it will only hold it sideways. Weapon holders can also hold the [[Active camo|Active Camo]], [[Overshield]] and [[Custom Powerup]]s.
===''Halo 3''===
The Weapon Holder can be encountered in ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]] both on standard levels and as a [[Forge/Halo 3|Forge]] [[Forge objects in Halo 3/Scenery|scenery object]]. They work similarly to the [[traffic cone]] used to hold up the [[Scarab Gun]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'', holding up any weapon deposited over them to face vertically.


When encountered in regular multiplayer, the Weapon Holder is most commonly seen holding up an [[energy sword]], particularly on the maps [[The Pit]] and [[Construct]]. However, they can be used to hold any weapon dropped above them (be it dropped in Forge or by another player). They can also be used to hold all grenade and [[equipment]] items (including the [[Active Camo]], [[Overshield]] and [[Custom powerup]]) and some smaller scenery objects such as the [[gravity lift]]. It can also be used to hold the [[7 wood]] joke weapon. If used on the central platform of [[Epitaph]] or the [[M313 Elephant|Elephants]] on [[Sandtrap]], they will not work and the object being stored will simply fall down.
==Trivia==
 
*On Sandtrap, the Weapon Holders will not work on the Elephants for some reason. Instead of holding a weapon, the weapon will just fall down.
In Forge, the Weapn Holder costs $3 to spawn, and can be spawned on any map in the game. They have fairly unique physics, and can be balanced on any surface including small tree branches. In the released [[Downloadable content|map packs]], Weapon Holders are usually used to make certain objects float that normally would fall down. Objects usually held in the air by Weapon Holders are active gravity lifts, [[fusion coil]]s, and some other small objects like [[radio]]s, and barrels. They can be used to make traps; for example, holding a gravity lift in place such that any player who walks in front of it may be flung backwards and off the edge of the map.
*Like the Elephants on Sandtrap, the Weapon Holders will not work on the floating platform on Epitaph.
*The Weapon Holders can be balanced on almost any surface, even on a tree branch on [[High Ground]].
*On [[Construct]], if you place a gravity lift in a weapon holder and place it on a corner, all players walking around the corner will be thrust out into the air and killed.
*In the released map packs, Weapon Holders are usually used to make certain objects float that normally would fall down. Objects usually held in the air by Weapon Holders are Active Grav Lifts, [[Fusion Coils]], and some other small objects like radios, drums, and radio packs.
*When a Player deploys any form of equipment near enough from an empty Weapon Holder, it will be held neatly in it. The same works possibly for grenades.
*The Traffic Cone under the [[Scarab Gun]] in Halo 2 works in exactly the same way as a Halo 3 Weapon Holder.
