| Defender returned as an [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The suit is not a fully-original design, and employs several ''[[Halo 4]]'' armor pieces including the [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms and [[LG-50 Bulk]] legs while retaining the standard Defender chest and shoulders. The Defender set has three alternate skin designs; Castle, Redoubt and Fortress.
