Equipment

Line 2:

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', [[Spartans]], [[Brutes]] and [[Elites]], can carry one extra item of '''equipment''' – deployed using the “X” button on the [[Halo 3#Controls|XBOX 360 controller]]. Equipment types vary dramatically in purpose, functionality and appearance, but all can be used with deadly or strategic force. To follow is a simple explanation of what each does, and where you can find at least one of them. There may be more to find and their availability is subject to [[matchmaking]] rules.

The philosophy of equipment is simple – add variety to the combat in Halo 3 without displacing balance. The simple fact is that Equipment items, once deployed can be used by both attackers and defenders. Someone on your team might accidentally activate your Trip Mine, and a Bubble Shield is a geometric spherical shield – sure they can’t shoot in, but you can’t shoot out either. A good tactic involving the bubble sheild is to run in, through a grenade, and run out again, instantly killing all in there. Suffice to say that equipment can turn the tide of battle if used correctly.
