Production notes[edit]

Help.png This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

Achilles was known internally as "A102_S000 Waypoint Companies Armor" during development.[6] The armor was initially accidentally unveiled with the Cartographer's Gift update, when some glitched REQ cards were available to view with the Achilles name - though only placeholder imagery.
