 ===Hardened External Sensor Array - External===

-The Hardened External Sensor Array - External (HESA-E) was a helmet attachment available in the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]''. The attachment is useable on the [[MP-class Mjolnir|Military Police]] helmet, and cost 20,000 [[Credits|cR]] to buy. In the final game, this attachment is still available though under the name of the [[Hardened uplink/remote sensor package|HU/RS]] attachment.

 A lack of official communication about or acknowledgement of the mystery helmet from Bungie or 343 Industries led to a great deal of speculation about how it might be released, with some even suggesting that it could already be unlocked through some esoteric method.{{Ref/Reuse|GRDOrigin}} Eventually, these rumours were proven false when, on [[2012|February 11th, 2012]], [[343 Industries]] employee [[David Ellis]] confirmed that 343 had intended to release it alongside the ''[[Anniversary Map Pack]]'', but that it had been cut due to time and resource constraints.{{Ref/Site|Id=NeoGAF|URL=https://www.neogaf.com/threads/halo-ot-halogaf-evolved.459213/page-166#post-35044917|Site=NeoGAF|Page=Halo <nowiki>|OT|</nowiki> HaloGAF Evolved|Quote=We were prototyping and experimenting with adding new armor variants as part of the Anniversary release. Unfortunately, that feature was cut due to time/resource constraints. The Spartan plushies on the Anniversary Maps are an acknowledgement of that via easter egg.|Quotee=David Ellis|D=15|M=10|Y=2021}} Ultimately, neither the AKIS helmet nor the EXO/TSCS chest piece were ever released for ''Reach'' on the [[Xbox 360]].
-The [[Spartan dolls Easter egg]] in the ''Anniversary Map Pack'' features dolls of Spartans wearing the same armor configuration as the player in the ''Defiant Map Pack'' screenshots, including the AKIS helmet. This was a deliberate acknowledgement of the armor on 343 Industries' part.{{Ref/Reuse|NeoGAF}} This doll object was later made available as a placeable object in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''{{'}} [[Forge]] mode, in which it is known as the "5th Spartan" doll.{{Ref/Mode|Id=H5GForge|H5G|Forge/Halo 5: Guardians|Forge}}

 In [[2019]], it was announced that ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' would be added to ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', and that ''The Master Chief Collection'' would be ported to PC, with ''Reach'' being the first of the games in the collection to release on the platform.{{Ref/Site|Id=MCCPCAnnouncement|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-pc-halo-reach|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=MCC PC & Halo: Reach|D=15|M=10|Y=2021}} This brought with it renewed interest in the unreleased armour, with many requesting that it be included in the game's re-release.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/b2yhk8/mcc_pc_halo_reach_and_halo_insider_ama/eivwxnw/|Site=Reddit|Page=MCC PC, Halo: Reach, and Halo Insider AMA|D=15|M=10|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/f3681fbc78fa43878c4aec9a63a46224/topics/grd-helmet-in-halo-reach/53e23894-7e60-4dba-b563-5b9f7c14c7de/posts|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=GRD helmet in Halo: Reach?|D=15|M=10|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Twitter|Dab1001_|1108429727537262593|Dab1001|D=15|M=10|Y=2021|Quote=My question would be: Will the fan-dubbed GRD helmet and chestplate that was cut from the Defiant Map Pack will be featured in the port of Halo: Reach?<br>Very likely not.|Quotee=Jeff Easterling}} 343 Industries would officially address these requests in a development update in July of that year, saying that they ''"[were] currently investigating it but [could not] commit to it being in the game at [that] time"'' and also noting that they were interested in expanding the pool of customization items in each game, potentially even including new armors.{{Ref/Site|Id=MCCDevUpdateJuly2019|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-june-2019|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=MCC Development Update - June 2019|D=15|M=10|Y=2021}}

-The most famous piece of content developed for this initiative, the helmet named in ''The Master Chief Collection'' as AKIS and dubbed by fans as "GRD" was featured heavily in a handful of promotional materials for the Defiant Map Pack. The helmet went on to be featured in Season 5 with three helmet attachments; one of which named GRD in reference to the fan name. This helmet is the subject of the [[Spartan dolls Easter egg]].
