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.{{Ref/Reuse|h3description}} The Assault harness shares a distant origin with some variants of the [[Ranger harness]],{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=58}} though both are now different armor systems.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/ | 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.{{Ref/Game|Id=h3description|H3|In-game description}} A [[Unidentified Sangheili bridge operator|bridge officer]] aboard the ''[[Resplendent Fervor]]'' wore the Assault armor during [[Operation: WARM BLANKET]]{{Ref/Film|HLeg|Episode=The Package (animated short)|EpLinkText=The Package}} | The Assault harness is a pre-Covenant [[Sangheili]] design, restricted from use following the signing of the [[Writ of Union]] due to its effectiveness.

* 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.
