The latest installment in TurboGen's line of all-terrain transport vehicles, the Spade is a versatile, rugged, and rather affordable vehicle, making it very popular among colonial settlers. the vehicle is named after the [[Spadehorn]], a bovid indigenous to [[Reach]], which belies the truck's use among farmers.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | ||
== Overview == | ==Overview== | ||
===Design details=== | |||
As its name suggests, the Spade features an independent-wheel drive system, giving it the ability to traverse difficult terrain with relative ease. It is powered by an [[M96 methane engine]] which uses compound energy, capable of powering the truck for long periods of time in physically demanding locales. The Spade's flatbed can carry large quantities of supplies, and a tow cable is mounted to the front grille, adding to the vehicle's utility. The Spade is available in a wide variety of colors.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | |||
The Spade is designed for operations on rugged colonial worlds that possess only minimal infrastructure. The Spade and its sibling frontier trucks share parts – and handling characteristics – with the ubiquitous [[M12 Warthog]], which meant that many recruits were already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=10|M=5|Y=2021}} | |||

===Usage=== | |||
The Spade is primarily used among heavy-industry workers and farmers who operate in rugged environments.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Before [[Reach]] [[Fall of Reach|fell]] to the [[Covenant]] in [[2525#August|August 2552]], Spades were a common sight in the rural town of [[Visegrád]], [[Eposz]] and in industrial facilities based out of [[Ütközet]].{{Ref/Level|Id=Winter|HR|Winter Contingency}}{{Ref/Level|Id=TOTS|HR|Tip of the Spear}} They were also used by civilians on [[Tribute]].{{Ref/Map|Id=landf|H4|Landfall}} | |||
After the [[Human-Covenant War]], Spades were a common tool of the pioneers who took it upon themselves to resettle and [[Terraforming|re-terraform]] worlds that were [[glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}} One of these worlds was Reach itself, where Spades were used by the pioneers as they worked to bring life back to the ruined world.{{Ref/Site|Id=BaconTweet|URL=https://twitter.com/_darrenbacon/status/1437522810906103810|Site=Twitter|Page=Darren Bacon - It was a piece done for the franchise team depicting a glassed section of Reach...|D=13|M=09|Y=2021}} | |||
==Gameplay== | |||
The Spade is a usable vehicle on the ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. First appearing in the level ''[[Winter Contingency]]''. It functions identically to a gun-less Warthog, although with [[Jorge-052]] on the team, he will use his [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun]] as a makeshift turret. | |||
It was also added to [[Forge/Halo: Reach|''Halo: Reach''{{'}}s Forge]] in the ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' version of the game. In this addition to the Forge, it is referred to as "Pickup" and can be recolored to numerous options. | |||
==Production notes== | |||
The Spade was known as the "Pioneer" in early concept art.{{Citation needed}} | |||

*In-game, the Spade uses the Warthog's entity tags. If the player approaches [[Jorge-052]] while he is riding the vehicle, the message ''"Hold X to ride in Warthog"'' will appear instead of the vehicle's own tag. In addition, in the meta-game stats, Halo Waypoint stats, and on ''Bungie.net'', kills with the Spade appear as Warthog kills. | *In-game, the Spade uses the Warthog's entity tags.
