| |
| ===''Halo 4''===
| |
| Pathfinder was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. Players need to first reach [[Rank (Halo 4)|SR-50]] to unlock Pathfinder and seven other [[Specialization]]s. Progression through the Pathfinder Specialization ranks grant players with the Pathfinder armor permutations, Pathfinder [[multiplayer emblems|multiplayer emblems (foregrounds and background)]], the [[Support upgrades#List of upgrades|Gunner support upgrade]], and the [[MA5D assault rifle]] PREDATOR (PRD) weapon skin. In ''The Master Chief Collection'', the Pathfinder set, its Core (CORE) skin, and associated customizations are available by default.

| ==Production notes== | | ==Production notes== |
| During the development of ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', the Pathfinder armor was codenamed "''A021''" when it was conceived.<ref>[[:File:H5G_-_Pathfinder_concept_art.jpg|''Halo 5: Guardians'', Pathfinder armor concept art]]</ref>
| | The armor utilizes the Gunner armor mod, which decreases weapon overheat time when in a vehicle gunner position and allows faster movement speed when carrying detached turrets. |
| | The armor has a variant called Pathfinder CORE (CORE), which is unlocked in the order Torso, Shoulders, and Helmet from ranks Pathfinder-7 to Pathfinder-9. |
