The second program, known as ''Guerilla'' and labeled with a gorilla (pun intended), opens tags and edits them. Tags are files that make up everything in a Halo map: weapons, vehicles, etc. Guerilla can edit them so that mappers can alter what a specific item, what it does and how it looks (such as change a vehicle's color). Guerilla tends to crash wehn it encounters corrupted tags.

The third program is ''Sapien'', continues the primate naming scheme. ''Sapien'' opens scenario tags (the early map files) and creates a visual representation of the final map. Mappers can insert vehicles and weapons, place spawn points, and make camera points for cutscenes. Everything that can be positioned in the map physically is done with Sapien. This is widely considered the easiest program of the three, and is comparable to [[Halo 3]]'s [[Forge]]. Sapien is slow-loading, and crashes often; its ''debug.txt'' file is useful when attempting to diagnose such problems.
