The machete's grip has a thin gel layer similar to that found on [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], a quad tier design to absorb shock from impacts and a unique layer design that enables the machete to self-sharpen with use.{{Ref/Reuse|H2shield}} | ||

The machete is a part of the "Sword and Board" permutation, featuring the machete with a [[UNSC shield|shield]] and a [[Sangheili]] skull - intended to emulate the Legendary difficulty sigil. During the Season 6 [[flight]], the Sword and Board permutation featured two crossed machetes, though later in the flight and final release the model was updated to only show one, with the shield now inheriting the player's primary color. This marks the first time the machete has been seen in a ''Halo'' game outside the difficulty shield insignia. | ||
