Every Arbiter's armor is designed and built to fit their shape and size, but the armor itself always follow an age-old traditional design that dates back to before the Covenant. Unlike the sleek, glossy armor worn by most Sangheili, the Arbiter's armor is made of a dark silvery-bronze metal and is more akin to a suit of [[human]] medieval armor. Notably, it includes a distinctive helmet with a curved hawk-like "beak" covering the face. The armor is secured to the Arbiter's combat suit by blue form-fitting straps and is composed of various segmented plates. | Every Arbiter's armor is designed and built to fit their shape and size, but the armor itself always follow an age-old traditional design that dates back to before the Covenant.

Like the standard [[Sangheili combat harness]], the Arbiter's armor is equipped with an [[energy shielding|energy shield]]. It also possesses [[active camouflage]] capabilities, but this feature can only be enabled for a limited time, as opposed to the armor of [[Special Operations Sangheili|Spec-Ops Sangheili]], as the armor and its functionalities are somewhat older than current Covenant technology. | Like the standard [[Sangheili combat harness]], the Arbiter's armor is equipped with an [[energy shielding|energy shield]].
