== | ==In-game information== | ||
The CNM serves as a cosmetic option and has no impact on gameplay. | |||
===''Halo: Reach''=== | |||
The [[Tactical attachments|TAC/RS/STARLIGHT]], identified as a CNM in ''Halo: Reach'', and the FARNDALE variant of the CNM are available as attachments on several helmets in the [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor permutations]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The device is priced at different levels of [[Credit]]s, depending on the base helmets. In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the same CNM-attached helmets are unlockable in [[Season 1: Noble]]. | |||
===''Halo Infinite''=== | |||
CNM attachments are as [[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|customization options]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. The release of ''Halo Infinite'' was accompanied by a series of retcons, with a CNM variant being changed into the [[Tactical attachments|TAC/RS/STARLIGHT]] attachment, while a HUL variant being changed into the CNM/BNR/FARNDALE. | |||
