Gameplay
The Honor Guard Wraith is a special skin available for the Wraith unit in Halo Wars. In the original game release, it is included as a downloadable code alongside the Fireball Warthog with a purchase of the Halo Wars Limited Edition, though was included for all players in the release of Halo Wars: Definitive Edition. The skins for both vehicles can be toggled on/off as a setting in the in-game menus, in which the Honor Guard skin will replace all player-owned Wraiths, no matter what upgrade stage they are at.
