'''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 customization ''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'' allows players to customize their [[SPARTAN-IV]] player model. New 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==
''Halo 4'' provides armor customization akin to previous ''Halo'' titles, featuring the ability to swap specific armor pieces on the player's Spartan-IV. The armor is based upon the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor <nowiki>[GEN2]</nowiki>]] model, with some variants being upgrades of previous generational incarnations. Customization slots remain mostly the same as the game's predecessor, ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', however, wrist and leg utilities are replaced with full wrist and leg armor customization, and [[armor effects]] don't make a return. The player can also customize their armor with specific skins, including camouflage patterns and other, more ostentatious designs.
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 a [[Rank (Halo 4)|Spartan Rank (SR)]], while rarer and more elaborate designs require the specific completion of commendations, Challenges, or Halo Waypoint goals.{{Ref/Reuse|customize}} The release of the [[Champions Bundle]] brought an additional four armor sets and one skin to use for players who purchased the DLC, though said armor will display as default Recruit armor in the game's ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' mode due to technical reasons.
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]].


In a first since ''[[Halo 2]]'' in 2004, ''Halo 4'' removes the player's option to use Elites in [[multiplayer]], 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>

|-align="center"
On launch, ''Halo 4's'' port on ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' only allowed for limited armor customization, and the player was limited to choosing a full set of armor and colors, with no ability to swap specific armor pieces, armor skins, or visor colors, while the player was also locked to a red visor. Likewise, the [[Champions Bundle]] armor did not return, and wasn't available to use. This system was employed at launch due to the difficulty of having to run several game engines for customization in the menus.

|-align="center"
Starting with the release of ''Halo: Reach'' in the collection, it and the games leading into ''Halo 4'' began to receive, or were updated to have full armor customization with the implementation of the menu's ''[[Unreal Engine|Unreal Engine 4]]'' component, with ''Halo 4'' receiving its own customization update upon the game's launch on PC and debut of [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] in November, 2020. This update was first alluded to in [[Series 3: Recon]], as a placeholder ''Unreal Engine 4'' render was added to the game's menu. With ''Halo 4''{{'}}s flight and update, full customization was restored to the player, including armor skins, and visor colors. Champions Bundle armor wasn't included on ''Halo 4''{{'}}s launch, but was later included alongside [[Armor effects]] with the release of [[Series 7: Elite]] in 2021.{{Ref/Site|Id=MCCOct2020|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-october-2020|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo: The Master Chief Collection Development Update October 2020}} Season 7 also included the introduction of the [[Project KEYSTONE|Keystone]] helmet, inspired by the design of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] design included in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.{{Ref/Twitter|Halo|1405601698161336320|Halo|Quote=Make sure it fits just right.

Pre-release builds of ''Halo 4'' featured some slight differences in armor texturing, with the neutral white lights present on armor being red. In addition, base armor texturing was also altered for the game's final build. A [[Cut Halo 4 customization|number of]] armor sets and skin variants were additionally considered for inclusion in the game, recieving concept and model passes, including a redesigned [[Project HAYABUSA|HAYABUSA]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV]].

Xbox Live Guest accounts in the original [[Xbox 360]] release of ''Halo 4'' are able to customize their appearance with any and all armor pieces unlocked by their host. This differs from previous titles, in which guests could change their emblem, colors, service tag and gender, but could not customize their armor.
