'''Armor abilities''' are gameplay items featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', and ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''. Similar to Halo 3's [[equipment]] pieces, these items can be picked up and activated by players. Unlike ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s equipment pieces, however, they are reusable. They are replaced in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' by the universally available [[Spartan abilities]]. | '''Armor abilities''' are gameplay items featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', and ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''.

*Hologram and Active Camouflage are great armor abilities to use during [[Infection]] gametypes as hologram can confuse zombies and active camo will straight up hide from them. These work well as they, to an extent, depend on the enemy not looking hard enough, something zombies don't have time to do. However, both become useless the moment the operator becomes the Last Man Standing, as a massive skull appears over their head. | *Hologram and Active Camouflage are great armor abilities to use during [[Infection]] gametypes as hologram can confuse zombies and active camo will straight up hide from them.

*It is often advantageous to have a teammate using the Drop Shield ability in both Firefight and standard Multiplayer modes (mainly Invasion, as few other gametypes allow it for balancing reasons). This is due to the fact that this ability will heal wounded teammates without wasting [[health pack]]s. | *It is often advantageous to have a teammate using the Drop Shield ability in both Firefight and standard Multiplayer modes (mainly Invasion, as few other gametypes allow it for balancing reasons).

*When one's Energy Shields are low or completely depleted, use Armor Lock until the energy shields recharge as much as they can before Armor Lock deactivates. This will ensure that a sudden ambush after a battle that left the shields depleted will not overwhelm one. Be wary of an enemy standing back, however. | *When one's Energy Shields are low or completely depleted, use Armor Lock until the energy shields recharge as much as they can before Armor Lock deactivates.
