The Recon armor was first unveiled on [[Bungie Day]] 2007, in a piece of artwork created by [[Isaac Hannaford]]. This followed the unveiling of the new [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor permutations]] system, though only the Mark VI, [[EVA-class Mjolnir|EVA]] and [[CQB-class Mjolnir|CQB]] sets were detailed. The Recon armor remained a mystery until launch, when it was revealed as an exclusive set awarded by Bungie to community members for specific accomplishments that impressed the Bungie staff. The launch of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' in late 2009 saw the [[Road to Recon]] challenge unveiled; players who unlocked all of the [[Vidmaster Challenge]]s across ''Halo 3'' and ''ODST'' were prompted to visit [[Bungie.net]], whereupon they would be able to click an "Unlock My Recon" button in their service record.

The Recon set returns in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', though largely unrelated to its ''Halo 3'' predecessor in visuals. The Recon helmet was the subject of the game's pre-order bonus, with such purchases allowing players to use the Recon helmet with the UA/HUL[3] attachment on day one - this specific helmet variant cannot be unlocked any other way. The other Recon helmet, chest and shoulder armor types are unlockable in the game's purchase system via the use of [[Credits|cR]]. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the Recon set (including pre-order bonus) is attainable in the [[Season 1: Noble]] progression system, with an additional [[Artificial limb|robot arm]] variant of the Tactical/Recon chest introduced in [[Series 5: Anvil]].
