Is there a way to modify weapon tags in gametypes so that players would spawn with a battle rifle, DMR, or any other weapon tags that have been uploaded here?

I'm new to modding and have no idea what I'm doing; I just want to give Battle Rifle/DMR starts for use on custom recreated maps from other Halo games, and I'm not sure if I can just edit a gametype or if I have to actually edit the map files. I've tried searching, but due to my own lack of knowledge it's really not helping me much.

Or maybe a way to switch the assault rifle tags with a custom weapon tag so that choosing picking up an AR on ANY map whether it's a multiplayer or campaign map would put a BR in your hand?

Any help would be much appreciated, I can't seem to find anything recently posted about how to use weapon tags.

You would have to recompile the map with the weapons you want in it.
To change the starting weapons, you would have to create an item_collection tag for your weapon and then change the "starting equipment" section of the scenario tag for the gametype you want. For singleplayer, the gametype is "none".


This will not work. The weapon tags are separate for each map.
