Cut Halo 5: Guardians weapons: Difference between revisions

Concepted by [[:Category:Images by Paul Richards|Paul Richards]], the "UNSC Arm-Mounted Railgun" appears to be a [[railgun]] weapon intended for mounting in the back compartment of a [[D79-TC Pelican]]. The weapon is equipped with an arm connected to the dropship, as to support the Spartans holding it.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://thepaulrichards.tumblr.com/post/131981842894/for-freelance-inquiries-contact-paul-richards-at|Site=Tumblr|Page=Paul Richards|D=26|M=01|Y=2021}}

The glass cutter was likely intended to be a [[support weapon]] based around the concept of a tool developed for cutting through the [[Lechatelierite|glass]] on [[Meridian]]. The weapon was concepted by [[:Category:Images by David Bolton|David Bolton]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/human-glass-cutter|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo 5: Guardians concept art|D=09|M=6|Y=2016}}

The initial release of the [[Warzone Firefight]] update saw the inclusion of the [[Type-52 plasma launcher]] into ''Halo 5'' for a brief time. The weapon was featured as used by Grunt enemies in the [[Warzone Firefight (gametype)|Warzone Firefight]] gamemode, and could be picked up and used by players. The weapon had no first-person model, but could be viewed in third-person. When fired, the plasma shots had no visible model or effect. The weapon was eventually removed from the game.

Intended as the Brutes' [[support weapon]], the gatling mortar uses the model of the [[assault cannon]] as a placeholder. The weapon does not have an ammunition count, instead displaying the HUD icon for the [[Type-58 plasma cannon|plasma cannon]] and its ammo percentage meter. Despite the presence of this HUD element, the meter does not count down while firing, likely due to the weapon's unfinished nature. The projectiles that are fired from the gun are fast firing explosive bolts. It takes only five of these rounds to drop a fully shielded player, when hit anywhere on the body.{{Ref/Reuse|GCREQs}}

Interestingly, the gatling mortar has some broad similarities to the [[Scrap Cannon]] featured in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.

The mine layer employs an untextured model of the [[Concussion Rifle]]. When fired, it launches a small projectile that bounces on the ground before exploding. If the projectile hits a character, it will stick to them like a [[Plasma Grenade]]. Given these effects, the mine layer may have been an early test for the [[Plasma Caster]].{{Ref/Reuse|H5Test}}

The multi lock uses the [[Railgun]] model. When fired, it launches three small projectiles that stick to surfaces and characters, and detonate after a small time.{{Ref/Reuse|H5Test}}
