Forge objects in Halo 3/Equipment

This article contains details on Equipment placeable in Forge mode in Halo 3. For objects in other categories, please see one of the pages listed below.

Equipment

Active Camo

Activated upon contact with a player, Active Camo makes a player invisible.

Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Active Camo can be disrupted when the player attacks or is attacked. Generally, only one Active Camo is placed on a map; it is typically balanced with an Overshield on the other side of the level, if it is not placed near the center.

Bubble Shield

When deployed, a Bubble Shield casts a spherical field that deflects gunshots and grenades used on either side. Players, vehicles, and equipment can pass through the field unimpeded.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2

Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Bubble Shields are useful when camping with a close-quarters combat weapon, or when trying to evade a sniper. However, players hiding in a Bubble Shield can still be splattered.

Custom Powerup

Activated upon contact with a player, a Custom Power-up's effect can be tweaked in Custom Games. The default effect is to increase the player's movement speed by 50%.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Orbital	The Pit	Rat's Nest	Sandbox	Sandtrap	Snowbound	Standoff	Valhalla
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Because Custom Power-ups' settings cannot be set on a per-map basis, they are usually only added for decoration, or in maps that are meant to be used with specific Game Variants.

Deployable Cover

Deployable Covers are solid barriers. Bullets from human weapons will pass through them when fired back-to-front.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows

Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Deployable Covers can be jumped onto to reach higher places, which may be why they were removed from Matchmaking.

Firebomb Grenade

Firebomb grenades will set fire to anything they touch. A player on fire usually dies after a few seconds.

Flare

Flares blind any nearby players who look in their general direction.

Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Flares are good for surprise ambushes on groups. Note that the item was removed from Matchmaking due to Equipment Jumping.

Frag Grenade

A human grenade. It can bounce around corners and it packs a punch, but it does not stick to enemies.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
Max	32	32	32	32	32	32	32	32
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
Max	32	32	32	32	32	32	32	32

Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
Max	32	32	32	32	32	32	32	32

Try to limit the number of frags you place in maps with narrow hallways or confined spaces to avoid causing grenade spamming.

Grav Lift

Grav Lifts can raise players and other objects into the air. They are good for reaching high places.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2

	Orbital	The Pit	Rat's Nest	Sandbox	Sandtrap	Snowbound	Standoff	Valhalla
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Overshield

Activated upon contact with a player, Overshields double a player's shields temporarily.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Orbital	The Pit	Rat's Nest	Sandbox	Sandtrap	Snowbound	Standoff	Valhalla
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Overshielded players can still be killed with grenade sticks. Generally, only one Overshield is placed on a map; it is typically balanced with an Active Camo on the other side of the level, if it is not placed near the center.

Plasma Grenade

One of two Covenant grenades. It has a slight bounce to it and can stick to enemies, but its bright blue glow makes it easy to notice and dodge.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
Max	32	32	32	32	32	32	32	32
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
Max	32	32	32	32	32	32	32	32
	Orbital	The Pit	Rat's Nest	Sandbox	Sandtrap	Snowbound	Standoff	Valhalla
Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
Max	32	32	32	32	32	32	32	32

Placing too many grenades in maps with narrow hallways or confined spaces may lead to grenade spamming.

Power Drain

Power Drains will drain the shields of nearby players and cease the movement of nearby vehicles. Deploying a Power Drain into a crowded area is an easy way to get kills.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Orbital	The Pit	Rat's Nest	Sandbox	Sandtrap	Snowbound	Standoff	Valhalla
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

There is often little warning when a Power Drain is deployed, so they should be placed sparingly to maintain balance. Note also that the item overpowers other equipment, even Regenerators.

Radar Jammer

Radar Jammers show several "ghost" enemies on the Motion trackers of nearby players. Note that Jammers also affect the players who deploy them.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Orbital	The Pit	Rat's Nest	Sandbox	Sandtrap	Snowbound	Standoff	Valhalla
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

Radar Jammers are useful when using Active Camo. Note that the item was removed from Matchmaking due to Equipment Jumping.

Regenerator

Regenerators effectively allow one or more players to safely camp right out in the open with little risk of death.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4
	Orbital	The Pit	Rat's Nest	Sandbox	Sandtrap	Snowbound	Standoff	Valhalla
Cost	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2	$2
Max	4	4	4	4	4	4	4	4

A team may be tempted to congregate inside of a Regen's field. A Power Drain provides for an excellent counter-strategy.

Spike Grenade

One of two Covenant grenades. It has a different trajectory than the Plasma Grenade, and will immediately stick to anything it touches. The explosion pattern is conic rather than spherical.

	Assembly	Avalanche	Blackout	Citadel	Cold Storage	Construct	Epitaph	Foundry
Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
Max	32	32	32	32	32	32	32	32
	Ghost Town	Guardian	Heretic	High Ground	Isolation	Last Resort	Longshore	Narrows
Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
Max	32	32	32	32	32	32	32	32
	Orbital	The Pit	Rat's Nest	Sandbox	Sandtrap	Snowbound	Standoff	Valhalla
Cost	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1	$1
