From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Revision as of 15:22, May 22, 2016 by Crisperstorm (talk | contribs) (added stuff about buffs because I feel like they are important enough to be mentioned but not enough to be a separate page.)

Powerups are gameplay items that enhances player traits for a duration. They are commonly featured in multiplayer maps in Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo 2: Anniversary, and Halo 5: Guardians and 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.

List of powerups
