In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the Banished, a relatively new antagonist faction in the Halo universe, distinguishing them from the Covenant through their unique ideological differences and scavenged, aggressive design aesthetic. Despite their rugged appearance, the Banished’s technology is far from primitive, having capitalized on the power vacuum and surplus of weapons and technology left after the Covenant’s fall. The video then introduces the Armory, a segment where weapons from Halo lore are analyzed in detail, specifically focusing on the Banished’s equipment in preparation for Halo Infinite. It mentions that while some Banished weapons remain unchanged from their Covenant origins, others have been significantly modified to align with their more aggressive and innovative tendencies. The type 25 Spiker is introduced as one of the notable weapons, first used by brute forces against UNSC forces.

In this segment, the discussion centers on the evolution of certain weapons used by the Brutes and the Banished factions, primarily during the human-Covenant war and beyond. The Type-25 Spiker, initially a primitive weapon, has been enhanced with tungsten blades and improved projectile technology to increase its effectiveness in melee and ranged combat. Similarly, the Type-25 grenade launcher, known as the Brute Shot, has remained unchanged and is still in use. The Type-2 gravity hammer, a powerful melee weapon, has seen various unique modifications by certain warlords, including the addition of red energy blades and fuel rods. The Type-25 brute plasma rifle is still in use, with its red projectiles indicating lower energy despite causing more damage in gameplay.

In this part of the video, various weapons and vehicles used by the Banished are detailed. The bayonets, despite their red color, suggest lower energy impedance which could imply lower damage potential, although the coloring might be more about design aesthetic. Specific weapons like the type 33 fuel rod gun, type 1 energy sword, type 51 carbine, and type 25 plasma pistol are discussed, noting that they remain largely unchanged from their original versions used by the Covenant. Additionally, Atriox’s signature weapon, the Chainbreaker, a gravity mace made from a type 2 gravity hammer, is highlighted for its devastating effectiveness.
The video then shifts focus to the Banished vehicles. The Blisterback, a new heavy air vehicle, is detailed with its capability to bombard from the air and enter a lockdown mode to fire long-range missiles. Variants, such as the Enduring Blisterback and Ironclad Blisterback, are described as more heavily armored. Lastly, the Shroud is introduced as a support vehicle with sophisticated active camouflage and a point defense system, allowing it to cloak and protect nearby forces.

In this segment, the video discusses various vehicles and weapons used by the Banished, detailing their specifications and roles. The Marauder, a medium-sized vehicle with a pilot and gunner, is used for infantry combat and has a pre-Covenant design. The Riva is an anti-aircraft walker with missile capabilities for both offense and rapid movement. The Spike Turret fires plasma bolts, and the Skitterer serves as a quick scout and support vehicle with beam cannons. The Banished Chopper and other Covenant war vehicles have been heavily modified for the Banished. These modifications often lead to instability due to the overclocked power sources needed to handle additional armor. The segment also challenges the stereotype of Brutes as unintelligent, suggesting their technological innovations were previously suppressed by the Elites and Prophets. The video highlights the adaptability of humanity’s technology as a crucial factor in winning the war against the Covenant, contrasting it with the Covenant’s stagnant technology.
