The Elite Assault Armor.

The Elite Assault Armor, also known as the Ranger Armor is a type of Elite body armor.

Introduction

The Assault Armor is a armor set of the Elite race. It is the opposite to the UNSC EVA Armor, featuring a dynamic recharging Energy Shield. It is specially designed for zero gravity operations in conjunction with an Antigravity Pack. It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Development and History

The armor was first encountered by the Spartans of Blue Team on the space dock above Reach during the Battle for Reach. Since then it has seen action is zero gravity and normal gravity situations.

Characteristics

Helmet Characteristics

The helmet is completely sealed unlike the combat armor and its main feature is a rounded plate around their forehead and head. It then features a pair of goggle like lenses, which are usually orange or green. Both mandibles are protected by an angular guard and features a neck ring to the back with a pair of lights on each side

Shoulder Characteristics

The shoulder pads are squared off with a simple set of shapes and rectangle palte with a roughly triangle on each side.

Chest Characteristics

The chest plate is identical to the Combat Armor chest plate, with a set of clasps on the shoulders and a piece of armor going up the center of the chest, unlike the Combat Armor.

+The '''Assault Armor''' is a armor set of the Elite race. It is the opposite to the [[UNSC]] [[EVA]] Armor, featuring a dynamic recharging [[Energy Shield]]. It is specially designed for zero gravity operations in conjunction with an [[Antigravity Pack]].  It will be an [[armor permutation]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]]. [[Bungie]] has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.
-'''Elite Assault Armor''' is a rare type of battle armor, worn only by [[Elites]]. Comparable in defensive capabilities to [[Elite Combat Armor]] and [[Human]] [[MJOLNIR Armor]], it is nonetheless optimized for assaults, possibly intending to provide more protection from ballistics. However, in-game, there is no practical difference between it and Combat Armor.

+The armor was first encountered by the [[Spartan]]s of [[Blue Team]] on the space dock above [[Reach]] during the [[Battle for Reach]]. Since then it has seen action is zero gravity and normal gravity situations.
-Assault Armor provides an energy shield to offer medium protection from plasma, ballistic and kinetic impacts. This shield, however, has roughly the same resilience as that of Combat Armor.

-Elite Assault Armor seems to be vacuum sealed, although this has yet to be confirmed.

-'''[[Ranger Elite|Ranger]]''': There are distinct similarities between Assault Armor and the Thrusterpack/Vacuum Armor worn by [[Ranger Elite]]s. It is possible that Ranger Armor is simply a modified version of Assault Armor that has been optimized for vacuum combat.

+==Trivia==
-'''[[Security Elite]]''': The Elites who protect high-ranking fleet officers seem to wear a very dark purple version of Assault Armor. While it has yet to be confirmed that these warriors are in fact Security Elites, it seems likely, given the usefulness of vacuum-sealed armor to a naval officer.
