Gameplay
Civilian vehicles generally appear as scenery objects in Campaign and Multiplayer of various Halo games. In Halo: Spartan Strike, it is noted that when Grizzly tank or Wraith Tank runs over an intact vehicle, the armor will suffer minuscule damage. Destroying the vehicle before running it over is recommended to maintain a high score.

Drivable
In Halo: Reach, a number of civilian vehicles are actually drivable. This includes the Cart, the S-2 Traxus Cargo Transporter, the Spade, and the HC1500. None of them have weapons and are quite easily destroyed. However the Spade actually allows Jorge-052 to stand on the rear platform and mount his chaingun to the roof.

In Halo 2: Anniversary's multiplayer, the Hog is a drivable vehicle.

Forge
A number of civilian vehicles appear as Forge objects. In Halo 3, two vehicles appear as placable scenery items. In Halo 5: Guardians, three vehicles are forge objects; the Fossa, the Dewmax, and an unnamed truck.

The version of Halo: Reach in Halo: The Master Chief Collection added several civilian vehicles to Forge.

Production notes
During the production of Halo 3, several civilian Corporate starship designs were sketched.
