| The Ricochet armor was one of four new [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|permutations]] added into ''Halo 4'' with the release of the ''[[Champions Bundle#Bullseye Pack|Bullseye Pack]]'', purchasable separately or as part of the [[Champions Bundle]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/07/10/The-Halo-Bulletin-71013.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin 07/10/13|D=10|M=07|Y=2013}} The Ricochet armor is unlocked immediately upon purchase of the pack, though cannot be used in [[Spartan Ops]]. In Spartan Ops, the Ricochet armor is replaced with a default set of [[RECRUIT-class Mjolnir|Recruit]]. The Ricochet armor has one skin available for its helmet-only - Hometeam (HMTM).
| | '''Available skins''': Home Team (HMTM)<br> |
| | | '''Default unlock''': Purchase the ''[[Champions Bundle#Infinity Armor Pack|Infinity Armor Pack]]''. This is not usable in Spartan Ops.<br> |
| In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the Bullseye Pack armors were not available for the game's ''Halo 4'' component at launch, though were eventually added as part of the content available in [[Series 7: Elite]]. As part of this content update, the Ricochet armor was made unlockable in the season's unlock tree. As part of this update, Ricochet was made useable in Spartan Ops.
| | '''Home Team unlock''': Purchase the ''Infinity Armor Pack''. This is not usable in Spartan Ops. |

| ===''Halo 5: Guardians''===
| |
| While ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' does not contain Ricochet armor specifically for Spartan customization, the following sets make use of the Ricochet forearms: [[AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir|Air Assault]], [[CIO-class Mjolnir|CIO]], [[COMMANDO-class Mjolnir|Commando]], [[DEFENDER-class Mjolnir|Defender]], [[ENFORCER-class Mjolnir|Enforcer]], [[EVA-class Mjolnir|EVA]], [[PATHFINDER-class Mjolnir|Pathfinder]], [[PROTECTOR-class Mjolnir|Protector]], [[RAIDER-class Mjolnir|Raider]], [[RANGER-class Mjolnir|Ranger]], [[RECRUIT-class Mjolnir|Recruit]], [[TRACKER-class Mjolnir|Tracker]], [[STRIDER-class Mjolnir|Strider]], [[ARGONAUT-class Mjolnir|Argonaut]], and [[CHALLENGER-class Mjolnir|Challenger]].

| ===Production notes===
| | *The armor was available in the [[Bullseye Pack]].<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/07/10/The-Halo-Bulletin-71013.aspx ''Halo Waypoint'' – The Halo Bulletin 07/10/13]</ref> |
| *The concept art for Ricochet is directly overlaid on top of a promotional render for Air Assault, resulting in an erroneous visor and shoulder depiction. Also, of note, is the additional armor pieces added onto the thigh armor in concept art that didn't make it into the armor's final design. Despite this, the armor would reuse or retool many of Air Assault's armor assets, including the lower frontal chest armor, the backside of the torso armor, and the bicep armor. | | *The chest piece resembles the front of the [[CIO-class Mjolnir|CIO]] chest, and the back of the [[AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir|Air Assault]] chest. |
| ===Mistakes===
| | *The helmet resembles 20th/21st century American football gear. |
| *Prior to ''Halo 4's'' update and launch on PC, renders for the male version of Recruit in ''Halo 4'' on ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' would feature Ricochet forearms, despite the in-game model using Recruit forearms.
| | *The forearms are actually featured on the [[Spartan IV]]s in ''[[Halo 4]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s campaign, as well as many of the renders for ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s armor long before they were added officially into the armor customization suite. |
| ===Miscellaneous===
| | **The forearms would later appear in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' on many of the sets that were in ''Halo 4''. |
| *The armor's helmet and shoulder design alludes to 20th/21st century American football gear. | | *Like all DLC armours, Ricochet is not available in the Halo 4 customization options for the Master Chief Collection. |
| *The forearms for Ricochet are featured on the [[Spartan IV]]s in ''[[Halo 4]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s campaign, as well as many of the renders for ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s armor, long before they were added officially into the armor customization suite. | |
