Power-ups can be added via [[Forge]] in ''Halo 3'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''Halo 4'', ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians''. They are also featured in the [[campaign]] of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2''.

"'''Power-ups'''" give you an advantage over the other players in a [[multiplayer]] battle in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]]. On a few occasions, they're also found in [[Campaign]], though they are not found in [[Halo 2]] and are only available in [[Halo 3]] as [[invincibility]], which is technically counted as an [[equipment]] piece. You activate them as you walk into them, unlike [[Equipment|equipment]] which is not activated instantly, and they can not be held like equipment; they are instant, one-time uses.
