The '''machete''' is a bladed [[melee]] weapon employed by the [[UNSC]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H2shield|H2V|Normal and Heroic difficulty shields}} | |||
==Design details== | |||
The machete is a standard UNSC field issue tool for use in jungle environments. The machete's grip has a thin gel layer similar to that found on [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], a quad tier design to absorb shock from impacts and a unique layer design that enables the machete to self-sharpen with use.{{Ref/Reuse|H2shield}} | |||
==Production notes== | |||
The machete is featured as the sword found on the difficulty emblems for [[Normal]], [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulty in all currently-released ''Halo'' games aside from ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', which replaces the machete with [[M7S SMG]]s and [[Type-1 energy sword|energy swords]]. It is given some in-universe flavour text in the menus for ''[[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|Halo 2's PC port]]'' alongside the [[UNSC shield]]. | |||
During the [[Development of Halo: Combat Evolved|development of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'']], a weapon bearing visual resemblance to the machete was intended for inclusion in the game. Known as the [[Pattern-2 Composite Sword]], it is likely that the difficulty shield machetes are based upon this cut design. | |||
