The Rig is a Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer map set on a mobile mining platform on the colony of Meridian.^[2] The remix of this map is Molten.^[3]

Gameplay[edit]

Codenamed 'Towers'^[4] during development, The Rig is an asymmetrical map set on a Liang-Dortmund mining rig. It is a vertically-focused map, with many nooks and crannies that players can exploit with their spartan abilites in order to ambush opponents or find efficient routes around the platform-heavy playing area. The focal power weapons are the Tufasumo-pattern plasma caster and Sniper Rifle. A Scattershot and active camouflage also spawn on the map.

Trivia[edit]

An easter egg can be activated on this map which shows a sandworm devouring a mining platform in the distance. This is a reference to the 1965 novel Dune. To trigger the easter egg, the protruding platform in the center pit of the map must be broken (such as by a ground pound). This will raise two explosive cores from their cowlings on the perimeter of the map. Destroy both of these cores and watch the mining platform by the sunset.
