==List of stances==
'''Stances''', also referred to as '''poses''', are customization elements featured in ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' that allow the player to change the their [[Spartan]] or [[Sangheili]]'s posture in the game's menu and post-game outro. In ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the pose appears on the player card. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the pose appears for the top three players after a multiplayer match. In ''Halo Infinite'', the pose appears in the fireteam menu and in the multiplayer victory screen.

In ''Halo 4'' stances will show up in the pre-game menu, allowing players to make themselves visually distinct before the game begins. Stances are able to be earned through [[Rank (Halo 4)|the game's progression system]], and through [[Commendations]], including weapon mastery. The release of the [[Champions Bundle]] allowed players to purchase a multitude of new stances as well. With the release of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', none of ''Halo 4's'' stances carried over to its updated port.

===''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''===
Following ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection's'' revival and continued support starting in [[2018]], the game would see the addition of stances in [[2021]] with [[Series 8: Mythic|Series 8: Mythic's]] flights{{Ref/Site|Id=MCCAugust|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-mcc-august-update|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo: MCC - August Update|D=27|M=08|Y=2022}}, and eventually [[Series 9]] in [[2022]]. Called '''Poses''', the game's new stances are applicable across all titles in ''The Master Chief Collection'' barring ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. Additionally, certain stances are applicable to [[Sangheili]] in the titles they're featured in.
Stances in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' are exclusive to the player's personal player hub and to the post-game menu, where a dedicated menu shows the game's top three performers, along with their chosen stance. Like all Series 9 content, poses are available through [[The Exchange]], with each costing {{SeasonPoint|5}}.

{{:List of REQ cards/Stances}}
Stances returned in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', functioning near identically to their ''Halo 4'' counterparts. New additions with the release of [[Anvil's Legacy]] include the ability to rotate the player's stance within the menu. Unlike ''Halo 4'', all stances are available through the game's [[Requisition system]], with ''Halo 5's'' updates providing new stances approximately every month.

===''Halo Infinite''===
''Halo Infinite'' saw the return of stances to player customization. Following ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 5'', stances will show up in the player profile, but unlike earlier titles, they also show up in each game's outro. Unlike ''Halo 5'', stances are unable to be rotated.


===''Halo Infinite''===
Like most customization content, stances are able to be earned through a multitude of ways. The player can earn them via ''Halo Infinite's'' campaign by accessing a Mjolnir Armory locker, or through reaching a level of completion on their save file. Additional stances can be earned through [[Battle Pass]] and [[Event|Operation]] progression, alongside [[Challenges/Halo Infinite|certain challenges]] as weekly rewards. With the release of [[Spirit of Fire (Operation)|Spirit of Fire]], weekly challenge stances can be found in The Exchange. Finally, [[Shop Bundles|bundles in the shop]] can also contain stances for the player to equip.

The Noble Justice stance icon in ''Halo Infinite'' originally featured the player holding [[Jorge-052]]'s personalized [[M247H machine gun]] [[Etilka]]. The icon was eventually changed to feature the default variant of the M247H in [[Season 03: Echoes Within]].

Various armor sets revealed to be in Halo Infinite.
Spartans in various stances in Halo Infinite.

Stances, also referred to as poses, are customization elements featured in Halo 4, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite that allow the player to change the their Spartan or Sangheili's posture in the game's menu and post-game outro. In Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, the pose appears on the player card. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the pose appears for the top three players after a multiplayer match. In Halo Infinite, the pose appears in the fireteam menu and in the multiplayer victory screen.

Overview[edit]

Halo 4[edit]

In Halo 4 stances will show up in the pre-game menu, allowing players to make themselves visually distinct before the game begins. Stances are able to be earned through the game's progression system, and through Commendations, including weapon mastery. The release of the Champions Bundle allowed players to purchase a multitude of new stances as well. With the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, none of Halo 4's stances carried over to its updated port.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection[edit]

Following Halo: The Master Chief Collection's revival and continued support starting in 2018, the game would see the addition of stances in 2021 with Series 8: Mythic's flights[1], and eventually Series 9 in 2022. Called Poses, the game's new stances are applicable across all titles in The Master Chief Collection barring Halo 3: ODST. Additionally, certain stances are applicable to Sangheili in the titles they're featured in.

Stances in Halo: The Master Chief Collection are exclusive to the player's personal player hub and to the post-game menu, where a dedicated menu shows the game's top three performers, along with their chosen stance. Like all Series 9 content, poses are available through The Exchange, with each costing Spartan Point 5.

Stances returned in Halo 5: Guardians, functioning near identically to their Halo 4 counterparts. New additions with the release of Anvil's Legacy include the ability to rotate the player's stance within the menu. Unlike Halo 4, all stances are available through the game's Requisition system, with Halo 5's updates providing new stances approximately every month.

Halo Infinite[edit]

Halo Infinite saw the return of stances to player customization. Following Halo 4 and Halo 5, stances will show up in the player profile, but unlike earlier titles, they also show up in each game's outro. Unlike Halo 5, stances are unable to be rotated.

Like most customization content, stances are able to be earned through a multitude of ways. The player can earn them via Halo Infinite's campaign by accessing a Mjolnir Armory locker, or through reaching a level of completion on their save file. Additional stances can be earned through Battle Pass and Operation progression, alongside certain challenges as weekly rewards. With the release of Spirit of Fire, weekly challenge stances can be found in The Exchange. Finally, bundles in the shop can also contain stances for the player to equip.
