===Excavator===
The <code>c excavator</code> is another weapon found in the 2000-era builds, and jokingly referred to as the "boring device".{{Ref/Reuse|Evolution}} The has a tilted, rotating magazine near the front and was intended to be used by the UNSC. The Excavator would eventually form the basis for the design of the [[Type-52 Mauler|Mauler]] in ''Halo 3''.{{Ref/Book|Id=AoH3|AoH3|Page=61}}

===Gravity rifle===
===Gravity rifle===
The gravity rifle can be found in the files for released builds of ''Combat Evolved'', though lacks textures, first-person models, animations, stats or projectiles. The weapon can be enabled on some maps in ''[[Halo Custom Edition]]'' by using the command <code>cheat_all_weapons</code>. When firing, the weapon emits a bright light and produces flames on its target, and is extremely accurate.

When firing, the weapon emits a bright light and produces flames on its target, and is extremely accurate.
Data gathered from the game files of ''Combat Evolved'' reveal a few more details about this weapon;
*It has the maximum rate-of-fire possible in ''Combat Evolved'' - essentially acting as a beam weapon similarly to the [[sentinel beam]].
*The weapon has a magazine set up, with a 200 round capacity before needing to reload, and capable of carrying 200 spare rounds.
*The weapon has no additional properties such as spread or magnification set up.
In this manner, the gravity rifle appears to be somewhat of a spiritual successor to the microwave gun featured in the 1999 builds, and somewhat of a precursor to the [[Cut Halo 2 weapons#Disintegrator|Disintegrator]] later cut from ''Halo 2''.
