Amazing-Looking $600, 15-Pound Halo Plasma Rifle Replicas Revealed

Reserve one today from TriForce.

Here's something for Halo fans to do while they wait for Microsoft to fix Halo: The Master Chief Collection's matchmaking issues. TriForce has revealed a pair of Halo 2: Anniversary Plasma Rifle replicas, which are available for preorder from the company's website today, though they aren't cheap.

No Caption Provided

To secure the red "Brute" model you see above, you'll need to pay a $162.50 non-refundable deposit of the total $650 price. A blue version is available for $600 with a required deposit of $150.

Both are described as "full scale" replicas, measuring 24.5" tall and weighing 15 pounds. They are hand-painted and finished, and even feature working LED effects. Only 150 of the red units will be made, while TriForce will create 500 of the blue version.

TriForce is also behind the $750, 35-pound Evolve statue series.

The Master Chief Collection was released last week on Xbox One. Problems with the game's matchmaking immediately came to light, with many users reporting long wait times to find matches. Developer 343 Industries is aware of the trouble, and is working on a fix, which should be deployed on Wednesday, November 19.

Check out the image gallery below for a closer look at the Halo 2 Anniversary replica plasma rifles.

15 pounds? Are you kidding me? Have fun trying to hold it up. Actual rifles don't weigh that much. That's a deal-breaker alone.

So what is this thing actually made of? For $600, it better be durable as hell.

These DON'T actually fire plasma?! BOOooo, at least make it shoot BBs for crying out loud. Partner up with AirSoft or something, this is the most expensive laser pointer I've ever seen. If you can afford a 600$ piece of s**t that you can only LOOK at, you have too much disposable income. Make sure you hang it by a window low enough to the ground so the homeless can see what exactly is more important than them having supper... ever.

"Here's something for Halo fans to do while they<< LINK REMOVED >> " I find that comment very condescending and downright rude. What the hell is Gamespots problem with Halo MCC? I know what I will do while waiting for the fix. I will be playing the game as it works perfectly fine for me. Honestly, so occasionally you might have to wait as long as 4 whole minutes for a match. OMG. Take it out to the back of the barn and shoot it!


You guys are taking your credibility and throwing it out the window over one minor issue with one game. I can see why this site is losing traffic.

@Zombrex @mr3lefturns BF4 had much worse issues. 8/10. Also the fact remains, there is no reason to start a story about a replica gun with a line like that. It is completely irrelevant to the story at hand.

@irishrizo @mr3lefturns I hear people say that a lot on here and, I normally ignore it because there usually is some relevancy to the news they are reporting. Yes 1080p is a click bait thing but, it really does have some relevancy.


However, this here is just plain bad writing and bad journalism. There is no excuse for that line being there. This place is turning into the Enquirer of gaming sites.

Or you could spend $600 on a real weapon that could actually serve a purpose.

Halo Investment Plan:


1) Purchase replica rifle.


2) Take to landfill, have them run over it a few time with excavation equipment and bury it.


3) Return to landfill in 30 years and have them dig it back up.


4) Sell on Ebay for $600,000.00

Wonder if you buy the red one, then years later, it becomes extremely valuable- After all, Halo is a huge franchise. hmmm...
