''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' adds sound-suppressed weapons, namely the [[M7S SMG|Silenced SMG]] and the [[M6C/SOCOM|Silenced Pistol]], which replaces the [[BR55 battle rifle|Battle Rifle]] from ''Halo 3''. Also, the game does not contain dual wielding, and equipment is no longer usable by players; Equipment can now only be used by enemy Brutes.

''[[Halo Reach]]'' replaces quite a few weapons with different variants, like the [[M392 DMR|DMR]], replacing the BR, and the [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle|Needle Rifle]] replacing the [[Vostu-pattern carbine|Carbine]] from ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3''. It also goes over a massive overhaul with the Assault Rifle, as it is now an [[MA37 assault rifle|MA37]] rather than an MA5B. It also adds a play off of equipment called [[armor abilities|Armor Abilities]]. These can be used repeatedly with a brief "cool down" time added. | ''[[Halo Reach]]'' replaces quite a few weapons with different variants, like the [[M392 DMR|DMR]], replacing the BR, and the [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle|Needle Rifle]] replacing the [[Vostu-pattern carbine|Carbine]] from ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3''.

''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' introduces variants of weapons in the game: for loadout weapons, these include attachments like [[Kinetic Bolts]] and [[Stabilization jets|Stabilization Jets]], as well as new scopes (e.g. [[Morph sight]], [[Holoscope|Hybrid sight]]); and for power weapons, there are usually two upgraded variants, an improved one and an advanced one. [[Mythic weapon]]s are also introduced, with these weapons being extremely rare but powerful and historically significant (e.g. ''[[Oathsworn]]'' by [[Kelly-087]], ''[[Nornfang]]'' by [[Linda-058]]).

All of the Forerunner weapons have been drastically overhauled as well. | ||
''[[Halo Infinite]]'' introduces shock weapons that deal electrical damage over time with consectutive hits and stun vehicles. Several weapons are replaced with new ones, possibly in an attempt to make each gun feel significantly different. Weapon ammo is classified in 5 types (Kinetic, [[Plasma]], Shock, [[Hard light|Hardlight]] and Power), and can be replenished in appropriate Ammo Dispensers. Battery weapons can now replenish their ammo by taking it from discarded weapons. Equipment returns in a different form, now being pickup items with a set number of charges in Multiplayer, or switchable on the fly in Campaign. Finally, [[Fusion coil]]s can be picked up and thrown, and come in 4 types like weapon damage types. | ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' introduces shock weapons that deal electrical damage over time with consectutive hits and stun vehicles.

[[:Category:Melee weapons|Melee]] attacks are always available; if the player is able to get in range of an enemy, that can cause heavy damage. And melee attacks are very dangerous when you hit an enemy in the back, this will kill almost any enemy. Most times, a single melee attack is sufficient to completely deplete an enemy's shields. These are also used to take control of an enemy vehicle, by Melee attacking the craft, then planting a grenade to kill its driver. | [[:Category:Melee weapons|Melee]] attacks are always available; if the player is able to get in range of an enemy, that can cause heavy damage.

Heavy weapons, such as [[turrets]], are also present within ''Halo'' levels, either stationary, or mounted on Vehicles. Some turrets can be removed from their stands and used as hand held [[Support Weapons]], but it makes the player move slower and gives the turrets limited ammunition. Only when driving a vehicle, controlling the Flamethrower, and controlling a turret, does the game switch into third-person view.
