'''Armor | '''Armor permutations''' in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' allow players to customize their [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] player model. These armor sets can be obtained by getting to a certain rank in the game along with unlocking achievements in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' and obtaining armor in [[Requisition system|REQ packs]]. Unlike ''[[Halo 4]]'', armor customization in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' is limited to the helmet, armor, and visor.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> In addition, new armor permutations were released post-launch via REQ content updates as was the case for Mark IV and Mark V sets, for example. | ||

The three slots available for armor customization include the '''Helmet''', the '''Armor''', and the '''Visor''' with previously player decided armor pieces (such as legs, wrists, and shoulders) being determined by the base armor the player chooses. Aesthetically, the armor of ''Halo 5: Guardians'' is based upon the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]] model, much like ''Halo 4'', and also allows for armor skins, enabling further unique customization options. ''Halo 5'' doesn't allow the player to switch to an Elite, be it for multiplayer, [[Forge]], or custom games. | ||
Unlocking armor can be done in a few potential ways; for example, earning achievements present in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' such as "[[Legend (Halo: The Master Chief Collection achievement)|Legend]]", which grants the player [[HELIOSKRILL-class Mjolnir|Helioskrill]] armor. It should be noted that armor unlocked by achievements in ''The Master Chief Collection'' were later able to be obtained in the general REQ pool. | Unlocking armor can be done in a few potential ways; for example, earning achievements present in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' such as "[[Legend (Halo: The Master Chief Collection achievement)|Legend]]", which grants the player [[HELIOSKRILL-class Mjolnir|Helioskrill]] armor.

The [[Halo Channel]] app on the Xbox One platform also allows players to unlock [[Nightfall armor]] by watching ''[[Halo: Nightfall|Halo: Nightfall's]]'' five episodes.

Another method of unlocking permutations involves the use of REQ packs, which provide randomized armor and visor unlocks to the player, among other things. Certain REQ packs also exist that can grant truly exclusive armor to the player. These include the HCS pack, which contains a specific variant of [[ATHLON-class Mjolnir|Athlon]] armor known as "Champion", and the Halo World Championship 2016 pack, which was only available if the player watched the event on a stream with their Xbox Live account linked to said stream during a certain time frame.
