GEN2 overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The Achilles suit's neural interface is equipped with a savage AI that gnaws at the mind of its user, easily leading to excessive violence in combat.[2]
Usage[edit]
Only select Spartans who have mastered themselves are allowed to requisition the Achilles set, as unskilled wearers will quickly lose themselves to uncontrolled rage at the hands of the suit's embedded AI.[2]
GEN3 overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
Like its GEN2 predecessor, the GEN3 Achilles armor features an AI integrated within the armor's neural interface.[3]
Usage[edit]
The users of the GEN3 Achilles armor are selected with care and timing.[4]
In-game information[edit]
Halo 5: Guardians[edit]
Achilles was added into Halo 5: Guardians in the Infinity's Armory update. It is unique among the Halo 5 armor sets in that it is one of the few that can only be unlocked via specific in-game achievements, as opposed to the requisition system.[5]
Armor | Description | Rarity | Introduced in | Unlock requirements |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Achilles (helmet) |

![]() Achilles (body) |
Only Spartans who have mastered themselves, bound their wrath and passion within a shell of hyperdense steel fueled by starfire, are granted access to the ACHILLES. Lesser warriors will lose themselves in a storm of blood. | Achieve level 3 in all of the Spartan Company Mastery Commendations' Kill Commendations |
Halo Infinite[edit]
The Achilles armor returned and was made available for multiplayer Spartan armor customization in Halo Infinite. Achilles is primarily available through the Mark VII armor core.
Armor | Manufacturer | Lore | Rarity | Introduced In | Unlock Requirements |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Achilles |

Production notes[edit]
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, with a preliminary REQ card showing the armor's name and rarity, albeit with a placeholder icon. This would eventually be removed.
