Template:Ratings Template:New Content Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox Template:Article QuotePowerhouse, formerly known as Settlement,[1] is an asymmetrical multiplayer map appearing in Halo: Reach. It is set in a hydroelectric facility on planet Reach.[2]

Overview

Powerhouse was formerly utilized to provide alternative power supply to the rural settlers nearby, but has now been repurposed to support the military war efforts.[1] The map is primarily designed for 4v4 gametypes and appeared in the Grab Bag and Arena playlists during the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta.

Weapons

  • The Rocket Launcher is located in the Spillway, under the bridges between the Powerhouse and the Boiler
  • The Focus Rifle is located in the Yard, between the Powerhouse and the Dormitory, immediately below the Ridge.
  • The Grenade Launcher is located in the shower stall of the Lockers, below the Office.
  • The Shotgun is located on the Cliffside, near the Dormitory, on the opposite side from the Ridge, notably near Blue Team's spawn area.
  • The Gravity Hammer is located in the Shed, off the Cement Path, above the Cliffside.

Trivia

  • Like almost all Halo: Reach multiplayer maps (excluding Forge World), the map has been repurposed and used in single player, although the campaign level takes place at night instead of day.[3]
  • Powerhouse's art style and environmental layout is very similar to that of Halo 3's Template:Levelname multiplayer level.
  • Near the red team spawn point, there is a spot on the wall that resembles the shape of a pig. This easter egg can be seen on the side of one of the staircases.
