During the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]], the Marines of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} employed a heavily armored variant of the UNSC Marine BDU. This model shares similarities with the standard post-war BDU, notably in the helmet design. It features heavy and bulky armor plating covering the entire body and extremities. This BDU model is commonly employed in dark green coloration.{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}} Variations on this armor are notably employed by the [[Extractor Marines|Extractor]] and [[Armored Marines]]. | During the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]], the Marines of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} employed a heavily armored variant of the UNSC Marine BDU.

===2559 BDU=== | |||

By [[2559]], Marines aboard the [[UNSC Infinity]] were equipped with a new variant of the battle dress uniform, most resembling the Cross-Branch BDU. This variant was highly modular, with Marines able to switch out components of their armor, such as shoulder and kneepads. Almost all variations featured hard-knuckled tactical gloves and additional padding on the lower abdomen and groin area, and some also wore padding on their upper arms. Common accessories included holsters for sidearms or flare guns, additional storage pouches, knife sheaths and up-armor plating. | |||
The fatigues used with this armor varied highly, with options including green camouflage, green-brown camouflage, blue camouflage and desert camouflage. The sleeves could be rolled up for better ventilation. All marines were also outfitted with a tan t-shirt underneath their fatigues. | |||
The 2559 BDU included the rounded CH252 helmet, which could mount several attachments. Marines also had the option of gold-tinted eyewear. | |||
