| | ===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}} |

| ==Equipment==
| |
| Alongside the various cut weapons, a number of [[equipment]] items were cut or significantly altered prior to release.
| |
| ===Bomb===
| |
| The [[Type 14 Magnetic/Anti-Tank Mine|bomb]] used in the [[Assault]] gametype appears in the Beta, similar in purpose to the [[TR/9 trip mine|trip mine]]. The bomb can be picked up and thrown as an equipment, at which point it will roll along the ground while beeping and flashing red. The beeping escalates in frequency, ultimately resulting in an explosion.{{Ref/Reuse|Kidd}}

| ===Covenant trip mine===
| |
| Found in the files of the [[Halo 3 Beta|''Halo 3'' Beta]], this early version of the [[TR/9 trip mine]] boasts a distinctly Covenant themeing as opposed to the aesthetic found in the final game. The metal and lights on the mine have a blue/purple hue rather than the brown-orange seen in the final game.{{Ref/Twitter|Kashiiera|1485054590542307330|Kiera キ|Quote=Today I learned a covenant tripmine exists in the Halo 3 Beta|D=13|M=02|Y=2022}} The files in the Beta only have a model and texture, with no associated gameplay functions.{{Ref/Twitter|Kashiiera|1492585987490426880|Kiera キ|Quote=I could make it different, the H3 beta only had the model and textures leftover not the actual equipment :(|D=13|M=02|Y=2022}}

| ===Bubble shield===
| |
| Various early forms of the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield]] can be found in early builds and trailers. One of the most notable can be found in the ''[[Starry Night]]'' trailer, thrown to the ground by [[John-117]] to avoid incoming [[plasma mortar]] fire. This model seems to be based upon the version found in the March 2007 Beta build of ''Halo 3'', shown below.{{Ref/Reuse|Kidd}}

|
| |
| Another, model of the bubble shield found in ViDocs and the multiplayer beta appears to use a similar design to the [[radar jammer]] and [[power drain]], except yellow. This bubble shield is capable of rolling along the ground, pulling the shield with it.
