==Trivia== | |||
* The "Scorpio" skin for the SMG, along with its black and green color palette, is a reference to the Xbox One X and its production codename "Project Scorpio". | |||
* The "Keeper" skin for the Plasma Rifle is a reference to the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and their official colors of blue and gold. | |||
* The colors and name of the "Dear John" skin for the Flamethrower are a reference to the [[Wikipedia:John Deere|John Deere]] manufacturing company. The skin's description is a play on ''[[Halo: Glasslands]]'', with "Grasslands" likely referencing the lawn mowers for which John Deere is most famous for. The skin is also [[Skins (Halo: Combat Evolved)#Flamethrower|available for the flamethrower in the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' portion]] of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. | |||
* The name of the "Hot Pepper" skin for the Flamethrower is likely a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Red Hot Chili Peppers|Red Hot Chili Peppers]]. This is further evidenced by the skin's description which mentions "scar tissue," the name of [[Wikipedia:Scar Tissue|one]] of the band's most popular songs. | |||
* The description of the "Splendor" Carbine skin mentions the [[Writ of Union]], the founding charter of, and an oath of service to, the [[Covenant]]. | |||
* The description of the "Amethyst Raven" Mongoose skin is a reference to the "Red Ones Go Faster" trope which, in fiction, states that anything painted red (mainly vehicles) goes faster. | |||
* The "Grim Reaper" Scorpion skin features the text "ONE-38" and a skeletal face motif in reference to horror-punk band [[Wikipedia:Misfits (band)|Misfits]], notable for their "Fiend Skull" mascot and song titled "[[Wikipedia:We Are 138|We Are 138]]". | |||
*The “Scarlet Thorn” Battle Rifle skin appears to be directly based off of the “Pioneer” Battle Rifle variant from [[Halo Online]]. | |||
* The name and designs of the skins: "Vexing Tomorrow" & "Scorned Fate" are most likely references to the enemy races, [[Destinypedia:Vex|Vex]] & [[Destinypedia:Scorn|Scorn]] repectively, from the game series [[Destinypedia:Destiny|Destiny]]. Which [[Wikipedia:Bungie|Bungie]] made after leaving the Halo franchise. | |||
