'''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.

{{References}}


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.
'''Armor Permutations''' are a feature in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' that lets players customize their [[multiplayer]] character's armor to their liking. In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'', this feature allows players to change the helmet, shoulders, and chest armor pieces worn by their multiplayer character. Players also have the option of choosing between being a [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] or [[Sangheili|Elite]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and Halo 3.


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.
==Halo 3 Permutations==
===SPARTAN Armor Permutations===
There are a wide variety of [[SPARTAN-II]] armor permutations in ''[[Halo 3]]''. There are eleven helmets, eight shoulder pieces, and eight chest pieces, for a total of 5,632 different SPARTAN-II armor permutation possibilities: one helmet, two shoulder pieces, and one chest piece per permutation, not including the [[Recon]] Armor chest piece. It should be noted the [[Rogue Armor|Rogue]], [[MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor#MJOLNIR_Mark_V|Mark V]], and [[ODST Battle Armor|ODST]] armor have only helmet pieces, and [[Security Armor]] has both helmet and shoulder pieces but no chest permutation. All armor permutations do not show in [[Campaign]]


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.
{{MJOLNIR Variations}}


''Halo Online''{{'}}s customization required players to purchase armor pieces with in-game currency, similar to ''Halo: Reach''.
===Sangheili Armor Permutations===
There is a wide variety of Sangheili armor permutations, with five helmets, five shoulder pieces, and five chest pieces for a total of 625 different Sangheili armor permutations, with one helmet, two shoulder pieces, and one chest piece per permutation.

==ODST Permutations==
[[File:Nohelmet.jpg|thumb|Choosing not to wear a helmet will not affect gameplay.]]
[[Halo 3: ODST]] features armor customization, though it is not as complex as ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s. One can play as each member of the squad having their own unique aesthetic Bungie-created armor. Players can choose primary and secondary armor colors, but the armor's main color remains the same (dark gray). Players can also choose whether or not to wear a helmet, unless they are playing as the [[Rookie]] or [[Sergeant Johnson]], who cannot remove his helmet and cannot put one on, respectively. Choosing not to wear a helmet does not affect gameplay. Without a helmet, the player still has the same health and stamina, and they can still use [[VISR]] mode.
 
===Characters===
*'''[[The Rookie|Rookie]]''': Unlocked by default.
*'''[[Veronica|Dare]]''': Complete the [[Campaign Mode #Halo 3: ODST Campaign levels|Campaign]] on Legendary.
*'''[[Edward Buck|Buck]]''': Unlock the [[Tayari Plaza (Achievement)|Tayari Plaza]] Achievement.
*'''[[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]]''': Unlock the [[Uplift Reserve (Achievement)|Uplift Reserve]] Achievement.
*'''[[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]''': Unlock the [[NMPD HQ (Achievement)|NMPD HQ]] Achievement.
*'''[[Michael Crespo|Mickey]]''': Unlock the [[Kizingo Boulevard (Achievement)|Kizingo Boulevard]] Achievement.
*'''[[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]]''': Came with the pre-order of ''Halo 3: ODST''.
 
==The Armory (Halo: Reach Permutations)==
[[File:RE-Full Armory Customization.jpg|thumb|The Armory now allows players to customize their ''Spartans'' in a much broader manner, including Knee Guards, Gender, Visor Colors, Armor Effect, Utility, Wrist, and Firefight Voice.]]
Player customization returns in ''Halo: Reach'', but with far deeper customization options than ''Halo 3''. In ''Halo 3'', unlocking armor permutations involved getting a certain [[List of Achievements for Halo 3|Achievement]], or a group of achievements. In ''Halo: Reach'', armor is acquired by purchasing it with "[[credit]]s" (cR) in '''The Armory''', although some armor permutations may have to be unlocked through <i>Halo: Reach</i>'s [[List of Achievements for Halo: Reach|Achievements]], previous purchases, or by reaching a certain rank. ''Credits'' are earned by winning or finishing games in [[Campaign]], [[Matchmaking]], [[Firefight]], and [[Forge]], or by completing Achievements, getting [[Commendations]], or completing daily and weekly challenges.
 
In ''Halo: Reach'', there are ten available slots for Spartan armor customization. The ten available slots customizable to Spartans feature the '''Helmet''', '''Left''' and '''Right Shoulder''', and the '''Chest piece''', returning from ''Halo 3''. The new slots for customization include '''Wrist''', '''Utility''', '''Visor Color''', '''Knee Guards''', '''Armor Effect''', and '''Firefight Voice'''. In addition, the player's helmet can be "upgraded" with various gadgets, known as ''Helmet Variants''. The player will also be able to choose their character's gender, but unlike ''Halo 3'', the Spartan's gender will also be reflected in their body type, instead of just their voice. Additionally, the player's character will also appear in [[Campaign]] mode, as [[Noble Six]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061810 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 06.18.10'']</ref>
 
In ''Halo: Reach,'' players will no longer be able to use ''Elites'' as their default player model in Matchmaking, likely for balancing reasons. Instead, Elites will be used in Matchmaking for the new Spartan-vs-Elite gametypes, and will still be able to use Elites in ''Custom Games'', through a "Preferred Species" setting. Elite armor customization in ''Halo: Reach'' has been downgraded from ''Halo 3''  to a complete model swap. Elite armor does not cost additional cR, but instead requires the player to reach a certain rank for certain armor; for example, to obtain the armor of an Ultra Elite, the player must reach the rank of [[Warrant Officer]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061110 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 6/11/10'']</ref>
 
Additionally, the [[Halo: Reach Limited Edition|Limited]] and [[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Editions]]  of ''Reach'' include exclusive armor permutations/effects for your player character. The Limited Edition comes with the "Sangheili Officer" Elite permutation, while the Legendary Edition includes the aforementioned permutation, along with a Spartan "Flaming Head" effect. A redeemable token that gives the player access to the Recon Helmet is bundled with the game to all sales made on the release date, and with all pre-orders outside of North America. However, if the player is equipped with the exclusive flaming helmet effect, the flames will be visible during gameplay but will not be shown in cinematics.<ref name="update">[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_060410 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 6/4/2010'']</ref> As with ''Halo 3'', every armor permutation in ''Halo: Reach'' is purely for aesthetic purposes and do not impact gameplay whatsoever.
 
The last two sets of helmets for Halo: Reach are available through [[Halo Waypoint]] only. Using Waypoint will show you how to unlock said armour pieces, which each have a base and two additional styles. The unlocks are linked to overall Halo [[Career Milestones]] (linked to universal Halo Gamerscore) and specialist acheivements throughout the Halo game. For example: the ''Military Police'' helmet requires the user to have completed ''Halo: Reach'' on Normal Difficulty, Stage two of the helmet requires the user to have the [[A Spoonful of Blamite]] achievements and Halo 3 [[Fear the Pink Mist]] achievement (accompanied by the right Career Milestone award and the base helmet variant).

==Trivia==
*There was originally going to be an [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] Armor Permutation in ''Halo 3'', but it was taken out before the game<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release. Bungie, however, did not explain why. Many fans expected it to be released as DLC, but due to the nature of the game that wouldn't be impossible.
*In ''Halo 3'', the neck of an Elite (regardless what Armor Permutation used) is completely immune to any form of damage except for a shot from a charged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]]. In addition, the projectile will simply pass through the neck, as though the neck wasn't there, without a blood spatter. This is because both Elites and Spartans have similar models.
*Many people speculate that hitboxes of the Spartans and Elites are shared but this is not true. While Bungie has officially commented on the hitboxes, they regard the size of the hitbox not the arrangement. Hitboxes are an unseen registry mechanic, which fall into the player models. They determine whether or not something has collided with the player. If an Elite is facing profile (sideways), and a shot is fired underneath the head (to where a Spartan's chest would be), the game will not register a hit. The head "hitbox" is forward more on Elites than it is Spartans.
*Each Elite also has a modified neck, either sleek black or a different model such as scale-like plating at the back of the neck.
*The armor in Halo 3 was originally planned to be more detailed, with dents and other details in the armor, but this detail was never implemented. The detail was added into Halo reach, though.
*Some exclusive Spartan armor permutations for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' are available on Halo Waypoint by earning achievements.
*The description of the black visor in ''Halo'': ''Reach'' states, "You can have it in any color you want... as long as it's black." This is a reference to a quote made by Henry Ford, speaking about the [[wikipedia:Ford Model T|Ford Model T]] in 1909.
*The description of the silver visor in ''Halo: Reach'' states "Jumping feet first into hell isn't your job; making sure it's crowded when you get there is." This is an obvious reference to the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
*There is a total of 12,899,450,880 different combinations of armor in ''Halo: Reach'' excluding the choice of gender. Including gender, there are 25,798,901,760 different combinations.
*The current cost of all the armor pieces in the ''Halo: Reach'' armory combined is 9,634,201 cR. {{Verify}}
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the mandibles of an AI Elite will stick out of the helmet in the Ultra, Spec Ops and Ranger permutations after their deaths.
*The player's [[Combat Knife]] is not visible during cutscenes in Halo: Reach.
