They are prominently featured in the [[Warzone]] gamemode as [[List of REQ cards|REQ upgrades]] unlockable via the [[requisition system]] for use in a player's [[loadout]], and in the [[Cooperative play|co-operative campaign]] of the game. In co-op, the various upgrades are used by the [[Spartan (co-op)|co-op Spartan]] NPC characters, as a way to differentiate the individual members of [[Blue Team]] and [[Fireteam Osiris]]. |

| In ''Halo 5: Guardians''{{'}}s multiplayer, armor mods are available for use in the Warzone gamemode and its various variants ([[Warzone Firefight (gametype)|Warzone Firefight]], [[Warzone Assault]], [[Warzone Turbo]], etc). They can be unlocked for use as part of the game's RNG REQ system - the individual REQ cards and their unlock requirements are listed further down this article. Below is a list of the general effects of each armor mod and what gameplay alterations they do - for full statistics, see further down this page.

| ===Campaign=== | | ===Campaign=== |
| In the ''Halo 5: Guardians'' campaign, every level features four [[Spartan (co-op)|co-op Spartan]] characters from one of two Spartan teams. Each member of each team has a unique loadout of weapons and armor mods, the latter of which are listed below. Characters can only have one armor mod equipped at a time-for this reason the characters of Fireteam Osiris and Blue Team each have their own armor mods that combine multiple abilities, in addition to balancing tweaks exclusive to campaign.
