It contains multiple layers of redundant safety systems to reduce the chance of injury in War Games excersies.[2]

The Athlon helmet features an inner layer with a magnetorheological dampening system specifically crafted for Spartan physiology.[2]

Attachments[edit]

The following attachments are not exclusive to Athlon, and are compatible with other helmets on the Mirage IIC core.

Production note[edit]

The Athlon suit was first shown in the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta announcement trailer in 2014. The permutation was part of Breakout, a new, premiere game mode in Halo 5: Guardians.[4]

References[edit]

Athlos is a Greek word meaning ″contest″ (eg; triathalon and the root of the word "athlete") and alludes to the competitive sports-oriented nature of Breakout within the Halo universe. Fitting the theme, all Athlon armor skins are named after ancient Olympic athletes: Cynisca, Iccus of Taranto, Lycinus of Croton, and Varazdat.
