The Assault harness is a reissued pre-[[Covenant]] Sangheili harness that features reinforced aligned composites and buttress principal protective stratum to preserve structural coherence of underlying tissue, and ultra resilient deltoid protection to aid in the concussive shock force and direct kinetic energy. Much like the [[Combat harness|standard combat harness]], the Assault harness is also designed to be intimidating and damage the enemy's psyche and morale. | The Assault harness is a reissued pre-[[Covenant]] Sangheili harness that features reinforced aligned composites and buttress principal protective stratum to preserve structural coherence of underlying tissue, and ultra resilient deltoid protection to aid in the concussive shock force and direct kinetic energy.

The helmet is completely sealed unlike the combat harness and its main feature is a rounded plate around their forehead and head. It then features a pair of orange goggle like lenses. Both mandibles are protected by an angular guard and features a neck ring to the back with a pair of lights on each side. Unlike most other Sangheili armors, this helmet only has two mandible guards instead of four separate ones. The helmet also has metal plates along the Sangheili's neck. | The helmet is completely sealed unlike the combat harness and its main feature is a rounded plate around their forehead and head.

The Assault harness is a pre-Covenant [[Sangheili]] design, restricted from use following the signing of the [[Writ of Union]] due to its effectiveness. Throughout the Covenant empire, the armor remained in use in only limited quantities, though the onset of the [[Great Schism]] ultimately saw the design brought back into service. | The Assault harness is a pre-Covenant [[Sangheili]] design, restricted from use following the signing of the [[Writ of Union]] due to its effectiveness.

== | ==Trivia== | ||
* In the ''Halo 3'' level [[Floodgate]], some Sangheili corpses have an Assault helmet, but due to a glitch, the Combat helmets are on them as well, making a combination helmet. These corpses only appear toward the end of level in the [[Indulgence of Conviction|crashed Flood ship]]. | *The Assault harness is the only [[Armor permutations (Halo 3)|Sangheili armor variant]] unlocked by default in the multiplayer of ''[[Halo 3]]''—besides the default Combat harness. | ||
* In concept art released for ''[[The Package (animated short)|The Package]]'', the Assault harness was incorrectly labeled as the [[Flight harness]]. | *In the ''Halo 3'' [[co-op]] [[campaign]], the fourth player controls [[Usze 'Taham]], a Sangheili wearing the Assault harness. | ||
