During the [[Human-Covenant War]], at least two Headhunters wore a more advanced version of the standard-issue [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]] used by most Spartan-IIIs. This armor included [[motion tracker]]s, [[energy shielding]], [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] technology, and a prototype [[active camouflage]] module. The active camouflage system could be sustained for only three-and-a-half to four minutes and diverted power from other systems while it recharged.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Headhunters" ; '''Volume 1''', ''page 212''</ref> Some of the first Headhunter teams also field tested the [[ZACHARIAS-class Mjolnir|Mk.IV/Z suits]].{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Zacharias - Helmet Description|Quote=Mk. IV/Z suits were field tested by the first Headhunter deep strike teams, proving the deployment concept which would prove highly effective during the Covenant War.}}
