The latest update for "Halo 5: Guardians" is launched last year. It is called Cartographer's Gift, which includes various new weapons, armor sets, maps and the return of the Forge Mode. It is a delight to the gamer fans to have wider new options in the game. For instance, some new weapons include the SPNKR rocket launcher, SPNKR EM, SPNKR EX, and SPNKR Prime.  There will also be armor variants such as the Spartan Mark IV Gen I armor.

Meanwhile, the new assassinations included in the updates are dubbed as Nice Try and Oh Snap. The first one allows a curb stomp-style boot smash against the helmet of the opponent while the latter can break an enemy's arm and neck. These new assassinations, violent as they are, will provide better game maneuvers for the players

Gamers will also be excited to know about the four new maps, namely, (1) There are Overgrowth for arena play, (2) Battle of Noctus for warzone play, (3) Entombed and (4) Antifreeze for Big Team Battle play. Some game analysts pointed out that the Overgrowth map is notable for its narrow corridors, which are ideal for ambush attacks. It is also features a bridge that can be used for tactical attacks.

The popular classic Forge Mode update is actually a retrofitting of a previous feature. It allows players to create their own maps. This feature has been purposely rebuilt for the new game according to the developer. It will include more than 1,700 objects that can be manipulated in customizing the maps.
