This article contains information from the Firewall Fractures universe, and is not a part of the established Halo canon. To learn more information about the Firewall universe, see its article. |
“ | Born from the ashes of a failed AI uprising, the CHIMERA core offers a unique vision of a potentially dangerous digital future where artificial minds and augmented bodies become one.[1] | ” |
The Chimera is an armor core employed by Executors in the canon Firewall Fracture.
In-game information[edit]
Unlike the Yoroi or Eaglestrike armor cores, the Chimera armor core was available by default during Season 03: Echoes Within, the third season of Halo Infinite multiplayer. Customization options for the Chimera core are unlocked by attaining levels of the Event Pass or purchasing Shop Bundles from the Halo Infinite in-game shop. Also unlike prior seasons, Chimera-themed shop bundles aren't only available during weeks the Fracture: Firewall event is available, and will rotate in anytime.
Armor core[edit]
Armor Kits[edit]
Armor core | Manufacturer | Lore | Rarity | Unlock Requirements |
---|---|---|---|---|
Wendigo |
Fracture: Firewall | Rampancy is a form of cancerous insanity unique to infolife, by which an AI's personality matrix unravels as it uncontrollably bloats to fill all available processing resources. In rare cases a rampant AI can maintain a semblance of sanity by continuously shedding corrosive shards of its ego into everything it touches through the hyperlink. The most malicious of these shards are vomited into Executor manufacturing clusters to spawn horrors known as WENDIGO units, biomechanical proxies who act as antenna to spread their creator's viral machine code. | Legendary | Purchase the "Wendigo" Bundle from the Shop for 1,800 cR |
Helmets[edit]

These prizes are then fed into the next generation of cybernetic war machines. | Epic | Season 03: Echoes Within | Purchase the "Skinned Reflexes" bundle from the Shop for 1,500 cR |
GRENDEL |
Fracture: Firewall | Both more and less than human, Executors wearing GRENDEL helmets are marked by unbound infomorph masters to be their hands, eyes, and sacrifices outside the network. | Legendary | Season 03: Echoes Within | Purchase either:

Trivia[edit]
- Chimera, alongside MIRAGE IIC are the first armor cores to feature entirely unique default armor coatings, those being Domain Framework and Front Lines, respectively. Mark VII, and Yoroi utilize variants of Cadet Grey, while Mark V [B] uses Cadet Blue. Eaglestrike and Rakshasa both utilize Sandgrass Fields.
- Chimera and MIRAGE IIC are also the first armor cores in Halo Infinite to not feature a unique default visor, with both armor cores defaulting to the "Enlisted" visor utilized by the Mark VII armor core if another isn't owned. One render created for the Firewall Fracture's Story Shards would instead opt to use the "Dragoon" visor to portray an Executor wearing the armor, while another would utilize an unreleased red visor.
- The Savior Protocol, Karmawall Augmentor, TAG Plugin, and Experiment 21C armor pieces in the Chimera armor core, as well as the TAC/Aegis Puck chest of MIRAGE IIC, are the only armor pieces in Halo Infinite that change their color and pattern based in the player's visor color.
- The Flayer Crysknife shares its name with the crysknife used by the Fremen in the Dune franchise.
- The Grendel helmet is named in reference to the creature from the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf.
- The Merrow helmet is named in reference to the mermaid and merman from Irish folklore.
