Rat's Nest is an upcoming Halo-based machinima miniseries that serves as a prequel to Guard Duty. It will be directed by Syp The Mighty from a screenplay she wrote with Revoltge. This series will center on Trooper just prior to his introduction in Season 1 during an encounter with the guards stationed on Outpost Rat's Nest.

It is planned to release summer 2025, with no specific date being given until production wraps. A teaser clip was included at the end of a special video announcing the cast of Nine to Five, which featured Revoltge in-character as Trooper sending an audition for the lead role. On May 2, 2025, the official poster illustrated by jaxbeetle was unveiled as well as its release window upon the end of filming.
