Editing Armor customization

{{Era|H3}} {{Ratings}}
'''"Armor Permutations!"''' are a feature in ''[[Halo 3]]'', allowing the player to aesthetically customize their [[multiplayer]] character.

==Introduction== 
Armor Permutations allow a player to customize his/her [[multiplayer]] character as either a [[UNSC]] [[SPARTAN-II]] or a [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili|Elite]], and change between different helmets, shoulder pads, chest armor, and detailed colors (primary color, secondary color, and armor detail). All permutations are aesthetic only and do not change actual gameplay.

They were originally discovered in the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'' hexadecimal codes by modders and were later confirmed to provide high levels of player customization by GamePro's June magazine issue<ref>''"Halo 3's online mode offers new [[armor]] permutations that allow players to redesign and customize their persona from head to toe."'' GamePro June 2007</ref>. Calculated together, there are 187,947,000 combinations for the player to choose from.

Thought,Armor Permutations are available only in Halo 3 (in the earlier parts there is only Mark VI Spartan armor),and are unlocked by achievements in either the Campaign or multiplayer modes of Halo 3 by getting the skulls.

'''SPARTAN Armor Permutations'''

[[Image:MJOLNIR Spartan Variants.PNG|300px|thumb|right|All Spartan MJOLNIR Permutations.]]
There are a wide variety of SPARTAN II armor permutations, with 11 helmets, 8 shoulder pieces, and 8 chest pieces for a total of 6,144 different SPARTAN armor permutation combinations: one helmet, two shoulder pieces, and chest piece per permutation. Another really cool armour is the flaming one. 


====Helmets====
*'''Mark VI:''' Default Unlocked.
*'''CQB:''' Default Unlocked.
*'''EVA:''' Complete Campaign on [[Normal]], [[Heroic]], or [[Legendary]] difficulty.
*'''EOD:''' Complete Campaign on [[Legendary]] difficulty.
*'''Hayabusa:''' Collect all Skulls.
*'''Security:''' Get 1000 of 1000 gamerpoints in Halo 3 (getting all achivements)(Dual antenna is added on the right shoulder only when you have the security helmet equipped)
*'''Scout:''' Unlock the [[Used Car Salesman]] achievement.
*'''ODST:''' Unlock the [[Spartan Graduate]] achievement.(Online only)
*'''Mark V:''' Unlock the [[UNSC Spartan]] achievement.(Online only)
*'''Rogue:''' Unlock the [[Spartan Officer]] achievement.(Online only)
*'''Recon:''' Bungie Employees, winners of tournaments/double exp weekends, and those that impress Bungie in any other way and sometimes getting on the Bungie favorites.
*'''Flaming Helmet:''' Bungie Employees only. Rather than the actual helmet generating the flaming effect, it is a unique chest piece that can reproduce the effect on any helmet. Bungie did state that they may release details on how to get this permutation in their podcast.

====Shoulder Pieces====
*'''Mark VI:''' Default Unlocked.
*'''CQB:''' Default Unlocked.
*'''EVA:''' Complete [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]] on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary difficulty.

*'''EOD:''' Complete [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]] on Legendary difficulty.
*'''Hayabusa:''' Collect at least 9 skulls.
*'''Security:''' Get 700-800 of 1000 gamerscore on Halo 3. Due to inconsistency, this armor permutation is not always given at 750, whereas there are some reports that the Security Shoulders need a minimum of 800 gamerscore, but the official guide to Halo 3 lists the requirements as 750. Sometimes it is unlocked even before that. It may appear and/or disappear temporarily from the armor list. Also, some have reported that if you get marathon man you unlock it, this may not be exact but some profiles have been examined that only have a gamerscore of 550 that have security armor. Sometimes there is a glitch where you don't get them at all. More info still to come
*'''Scout:''' Unlock the [[Mongoose Mowdown]] achievement. Some people wrongly say that this armor is only unlockable by getting the 'Used Car Salesman' achievement.  This is false.
*'''Recon:''' Bungie Employees, winners of tournaments/double exp weekends, and those that impress Bungie in other ways.

====Chest Armor====
*'''Mark VI:''' Default Unlocked.
*'''CQB:''' Default Unlocked.
*'''EVA:''' Complete [[Tsavo Highway (Level)|Tsavo Highway]] on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary difficulty.
*'''Hayabusa:''' Collect 5 skulls.
**'''Katana''' (Add-On): Get all [[Halo 3 Achievements|achievements]] in Halo 3. (''Note, Katana is a sword on the back of your armor . Not a chest plate.) <ref>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/09/30/the-hayabusa-saga-continues-sword-time/</ref>
*'''EOD:''' Complete [[Tsavo Highway (Level)|Tsavo Highway]] on Legendary difficulty.
*'''Scout:''' Unlock the [[Too Close to the Sun]] Achievement.
*'''Recon:''' Bungie Employees, winners of tournaments/double exp weekends, and those that impress Bungie in any other way.( please note, it is believed that only four non-Bungie players have access to this armor as well as Flaming Head).
*'''Flaming Helmet Chest Piece:''' Bungie Employees only.

-'''Armor customization''' is a feature in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''Halo 4'', ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' that allow players to customize their [[multiplayer]] character's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|armor]] to their liking. Almost every game featuring this aspect of customization allowed players to change various pieces of armor worn by their multiplayer character. In ''Halo 3: ODST'' specifically, the player was allowed to choose members of [[Alpha-Nine]] to play as for the game's [[Firefight]] component. The player was still given color choices, and the option to play with or without a helmet was available.
-In ''Halo 3'', options were limited to helmets, shoulders, and chest plates, ''Halo: Reach'' added onto this selection and offered various helmet attachments, along with newly implemented wrist, utility, knee pad, and visor color options. ''Halo 4'' would continue this trend, but instead of wrist attachments and leg utilities, offered full customization of both forearms and legs. ''Halo 5: Guardians'' regressed and only allowed players to swap full body armor sets and helmets. ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' initially launched with static armor sets for ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', but was eventually updated to return ''Halo 4''{{'}}s customization to how it was on the Xbox 360. ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' were also given helmet, shoulder, chest, forearm, and leg options. ''Halo Infinite'' went back to a ''Halo: Reach'' style of customization, but with the addition of armor cores where different armor pieces can be attached to a specific base armor set.

All permutations are aesthetic only and do not change actual gameplay.
-Beginning with ''Halo 3'', the player was allowed to swap genders for their Spartan in the form of a voice option. ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' would carry this forward with male and female player models being distinct, while ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' would drop the option.

-In a unique twist, ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'', ''Halo: Reach'', and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' allowed the player to choose between being a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] or [[Sangheili|Elite]]. ''Halo 2'' didn't allow for specific armor swapping, but ''Halo 3'', ''Halo: Reach'', and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' featured varying levels of armor customization for the Elites. ''Halo 4'', ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and ''Halo Infinite'' dropped this aspect of player customization altogether.
