'''Unlock''': Rare [[REQ]] card
The CIO set returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor includes the Aviator chest and shoulders, [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms, and [[RECRUIT-class Mjolnir|Recruit]] legs. The  CIO set has no alternate skins.
*'''Helmet Description''': The neural interface bypasses in the CIO helmet allows the wearer to create custom synesthesis profiles to remap the suit sensors with their own senses.
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 75%;"
*'''Body Description''': CIO's niche is information denial missions: hunting down enemy scouts and preventing them from acquiring data of tactical or strategic importance.

==Production notes==
Promotional images for the "Ruin" skin also included the pattern on the [[Inner-plated]] wrist armor and [[Over-locking]] leg armor. The final release version of the "Ruin" skin only added the skin on the CIO's helmet, chest, and shoulder armor, leaving out the wrists and legs.
