One of these concepts is famously known as the "G4H-DuSH", derived from the [[wikipedia:Leet|L33t speak]] for "gah-dush", an onomatopoeia of the sound a rocket makes when it is launched or detonates.{{Ref/Book|AoH3|Page=58-59}} | ||

===Spike Pepperbox=== | |||
The "Spike Pepperbox" is an early design for the [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Brute Spiker]] weapon featured in the final game. It fires slower than the final, and has been described as more comparable to a fast-firing pistol or machine gun. The asset was restored to playability in the [[Digsite]] asset drop.{{Ref/Site|Id=DeepDive|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-deep-dive|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Digsite Deep-Dive|D=20|M=06|Y=2023}} | |||
