Throughout its history, Halo: The Master Chief Collection has seen a huge variety of player customisation options. Many of these options have been removed from the game in subsequent updates, though several have never been useable.
Armor
Preserve
- Main article: Preserve
One of several pieces of equipment cut from the original release of the Anniversary Map Pack for Halo: Reach in 2011, the "Preserve" chest can be found in the files of the collection, fully-textured. Unlike its siblings in the EXO/TSCS chest and AKIS & Mariner helmets, this chest has yet to be implemented for use as an armor permutation.
A custom render of this cut chest.
Blackguard Tearful Bishop
- "The faith of the newly converted burns bright enough to consume any truth.[1]"
The Tearful Bishop helmet was available as part of the flighting test for Season 8: Mythic, though was cut from the final release for unknown reasons. The helmet would have been available as part of the Blackguard series of Fractures armor for Halo 3 and Halo: Reach.[1] The helmet would be re-added into the MCC in the November 3 update, but the name was changed to "Blackguard Fallen Equerry", and the cross-shape visor and description were altered.
