Halo: Reach is a first-person shooter originally released in 2010 for the Xbox 360. As with any good multiplayer shooter, Halo: Reach had a large array of powerful weapons and maps for players to interact with. Each of these powerful weapons spawns in a specific location on each map, and being the first one there can turn the tides of battle in their favor. Despite the game being launched about 10 years ago, it has become important to know the locations of powerful weapons in Halo: Reach again thanks to Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection has brought life to older Halo games by giving them major visual updates on the newest consoles and is now seeking to bring those same titles to PC. These titles will be released onto the new platform slowly over time, but they recently started the process with the newest addition to the collection: Reach. This guide will tell the locations of all the power weapons that can be found on a majority of the currently playable Halo: Reach maps in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

This guide will cover all the non-Forge World multiplayer Halo: Reach maps that are playable in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Each weapon will have the spawn location that is displayed in the bottom left of the player’s screen and a description of where it will be within that location. These locations are good to learn and are very useful when trying to communicate with teammates about enemy or weapon locations.
