During the production of Halo: Reach, several weapons were concepted and implemented - though ultimately cut for various reasons.

Civilian weapons

These weapons were concepted and modelled, though seemingly intended to simply appear as decor rather than weapons useable by any character or player. The weapons remain in the files of the Halo: Reach Alpha build, listed with the following names;[1][2]

  • decor_gun_shotgun
  • decor_gun_shotgun_short
  • decor_gun_rifle_scopes
  • decor_gun_rifle

It is likely these were intended for use by the farmers and Reach militia encountered in the third level of the game, Nightfall.

The shotgun design was later featured in Issue #18 of Halo: Escalation.

Forerunner staff

The object named forerunner_staff can be found in the files for the Halo: Reach DLC tag build. It is unclear as to what purpose the staff would have served, given the game's predominantly-human focus - though it may have been intended for usage on the game's DLC maps.[3]
