'''Armor permutations''' are customizable features on the player character in ''[[Halo 4]]''. More options are available than in previous titles.<ref name="Official Site">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!halo-evolved/gameplay/31afe32b-0e07-45c0-9424-3adc6e1eadca '''Halo 4 Official Site:''' ''Gameplay'']</ref>  
Armor permutations in ''Halo 4'' allows players to customize their [[SPARTAN-IV]] player model. These armor sets can only be unlocked by reaching certain [[Rank (Halo 4)|ranks]] and completing specific in-game [[commendation]]s, [[Challenges]], or [[Halo Waypoint]] goals.<ref name="customize">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/b0fa6f7c-b7dc-4486-887e-8d2e6e0034cf/customize?category=Basics '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Customize''</ref>


==Overview==
== Overview ==
Unlike in previous ''Halo'' titles, players can customize specific armor color skins such as camouflage patterns and other, more ostentatious designs. Players are able to customize the same areas that can be altered in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'',with the exception of [[armor effects]]. The armor customization of the [[SPARTAN-IV]]s aboard the [[UNSC Infinity|''UNSC'' Infinity]] are based upon the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] model and some variants are upgrades of previous generational incarnations. In ''Halo 4'' players are no longer able to use Elites in Matchmaking, or customize their armor as an emphasis was placed on "[[Infinity (mode)|Infinity]]" multiplayer which focuses on [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV's]].<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/122/1222537p1.html?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social '''IGN.com''': ''Spartan Ops and Infinity Change Halo 4 Multiplayer'']</ref>

As stated above, common armor sets can be unlocked by reaching certain [[Rank (Halo 4)|Spartan Rank (SR)]] while rarer and more elaborate designs require specific completions of commendations, Challenges, or Halo Waypoint goals.<ref name="customize"/>


In addition, unlike ''Halo: Reach'' but similar to ''Halo 3'', pieces cannot simply be bought with in-game [[Credits]]. The rarer and more elaborate designs require specific completions of [[Commendations]], [[Challenges]], or [[Waypoint]] goals, while the rest are unlocked by reaching a specific [[Rank (Halo 4)|Spartan Rank]].
Unlike ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'' removes player's option to use Elites in [[matchmaking]], or customize their armor as an emphasis was placed on "[[Infinity (mode)|Infinity mode]]" which focuses on SPARTAN-IVs.<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/122/1222537p1.html?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social '''IGN.com''': ''Spartan Ops and Infinity Change Halo 4 Multiplayer'']</ref>

For other uses, see armor permutations.
Some of the armor variants in Halo 4.

Armor permutations in Halo 4 allows players to customize their SPARTAN-IV player model. These armor sets can only be unlocked by reaching certain ranks and completing specific in-game commendations, Challenges, or Halo Waypoint goals.[1]

Overview

Unlike in previous Halo titles, players can customize specific armor color skins such as camouflage patterns and other, more ostentatious designs. Players are able to customize the same areas that can be altered in Halo: Reach,with the exception of armor effects. The armor customization of the SPARTAN-IVs aboard the UNSC Infinity are based upon the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] model and some variants are upgrades of previous generational incarnations. As stated above, common armor sets can be unlocked by reaching certain Spartan Rank (SR) while rarer and more elaborate designs require specific completions of commendations, Challenges, or Halo Waypoint goals.[1]

Unlike Halo: Reach, Halo 4 removes player's option to use Elites in matchmaking, or customize their armor as an emphasis was placed on "Infinity mode" which focuses on SPARTAN-IVs.[2]
