| | '''Armor customization''' is a feature in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''Halo 4'', ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' that allow players to customize their [[multiplayer]] character's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|armor]] to their liking. Almost every game featuring this aspect of customization allowed players to change various pieces of armor worn by their multiplayer character. In ''Halo 3: ODST'' specifically, the player was allowed to choose members of [[Alpha-Nine]] to play as for the game's [[Firefight]] component. The player was still given color choices, and the option to play with or without a helmet was available. |

| '''Armor Permutations''' are a feature in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' that lets players customize their [[multiplayer]] character's armor to their liking. In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'', this feature allows players to change the helmet, shoulders, and chest armor pieces worn by their multiplayer character. Players also have the option of choosing between being a [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] or [[Sangheili|Elite]] in ''Halo 3'''s multiplayer, while ''Halo: Reach'' features the Elite character models only in specific gametypes such as [[Invasion]]. | | In ''Halo 3'', options were limited to helmets, shoulders, and chest plates, ''Halo: Reach'' added onto this selection and offered various helmet attachments, along with newly implemented wrist, utility, knee pad, and visor color options. ''Halo 4'' would continue this trend, but instead of wrist attachments and leg utilities, offered full customization of both forearms and legs. ''Halo 5: Guardians'' regressed and only allowed players to swap full body armor sets and helmets. ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' initially launched with static armor sets for ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', but was eventually updated to return ''Halo 4''{{'}}s customization to how it was on the Xbox 360. ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' were also given helmet, shoulder, chest, forearm, and leg options. ''Halo Infinite'' went back to a ''Halo: Reach'' style of customization, but with the addition of armor cores where different armor pieces can be attached to a specific base armor set. |
|
| |
|
| ==SPARTAN Armor Permutations==
| | Beginning with ''Halo 3'', the player was allowed to swap genders for their Spartan in the form of a voice option. ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' would carry this forward with male and female player models being distinct, while ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' would drop the option. |
| There is a wide variety of SPARTAN-II armor permutations in ''Halo 3''. There are eleven helmets, eight shoulder pieces, and eight chest pieces, for a total of 5,632 different SPARTAN-II armor permutation possibilities: one helmet, two shoulder pieces, and one chest piece per permutation, not including the Bungie Armor chest piece. It should be noted the [[Rogue Armor|Rogue]], [[MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor#MJOLNIR_Mark_V|Mark V]], and [[ODST Battle Armor|ODST]] armor only have helmet pieces, and [[Security Armor]] has both helmet and shoulder pieces but no chest permutation. The HAYABUSA Project includes the HAYABUSA and Katana permutations.

|
| {{MJOLNIR Variations}}
| | In a unique twist, ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'', ''Halo: Reach'', and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' allowed the player to choose between being a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] or [[Sangheili|Elite]]. ''Halo 2'' didn't allow for specific armor swapping, but ''Halo 3'', ''Halo: Reach'', and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' featured varying levels of armor customization for the Elites. ''Halo 4'', ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and ''Halo Infinite'' dropped this aspect of player customization altogether. |
|
| |
|
| ==Sangheili Armor Permutations==
| | ''Halo Online''{{'}}s customization required players to purchase armor pieces with in-game currency, similar to ''Halo: Reach''. |
| There is a wide variety of Sangheili armor permutations, with five helmets, five shoulder pieces, and five chest pieces for a total of 625 different Sangheili armor permutations, with one helmet, two shoulder pieces, and one chest piece per permutation.

| |
| ''Halo 3: ODST'' features armor customization, though it is not as complex as ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s. One can play as each member of the squad having their own unique aesthetic Bungie-created armor. Players can choose primary and secondary armor colors, but the armor's main color remains the same (dark gray). Players can also choose not to wear a helmet unless they are using the Rookie character model. Choosing not to wear a helmet does not affect gameplay. Without a helmet, the player still has the same health and stamina, and they can still use [[VISR]] mode.
| |
| | |

| *'''[[The Rookie|Rookie]]''': Unlocked by default.

| ==The Armory (Halo: Reach Permutations)==
| |
| {{New Content}} | |
| [[File:RE-Full Armory Customization.jpg|thumb|The Armory now allows players to customize their Spartans in a much broader manner, including Knee Guards, Gender, Visor Colors, Armor Effect, Utility, Wrist, and Firefight Voice.]]
| |
| ''Halo: Reach'' offers a new and more abundant amount of player customizations. As a new feature, the customized character will appear in [[Campaign]] mode as well as Multiplayer as [[Noble Six]]. Players will also be able to choose whether their character is male or female, which will change their body type. The Firefight Voice of the player can also be changed.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061810 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 06.18.10'']</ref> There are ten available slots for armor customization in accordance with the attached picture for the section. The ten available slots customizable to Spartans feature the ordinary Helmet, Right and Left Shoulders, and Chest Pieces, returning from ''Halo 3''. The new slots are the customization of the player's Knee Guards, Visor Color, Wrist, Armor Effects, Utility, and Firefight voice. ''Halo: Reach'' also grants players the ability to add various accessories to their armor, such as helmet cameras and bandoleers, which affect aesthetics only.
| |
| | |
| [[Armor Effects]] are effects on your character model performed while either living or dead, depending on the one chosen. Two post-mortem Armor Effects icons have been released through Bungie's weekly update on 7.16.2010.
| |
| | |
| Firefight voices include: Master Chief, Cortana, GYSGT Buck, Sergeant Johnson, GYSGT Stacker , Auntie Dot [A.I.], and members of Noble Team.
| |
| | |
| By winning or finishing [[Matchmaking]] games, beating Campaign levels, playing Firefight, getting [[Commendations]], completing [[Achievements]], or by completing daily and weekly challenges, players will be able to earn "[[credit]]s" (cR) which will allow them to purchase new armor. Elite armor customization does not cost additional cR, but requires the player to reach a certain rank; for example, to obtain the armor of an Ultra Elite, the player must reach the rank of [[Warrant Officer]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061110 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 6/11/10'']</ref>
| |
| | |
| Additionally, the [[Halo: Reach Limited Edition|Limited]] and [[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Editions]] of ''Reach'' include exclusive armor permutations/effects for your player character. The Limited Edition comes with the "Sangheili Officer" Elite permutation, while the Legendary Edition includes the aforementioned permutation, along with a Spartan "Flaming Head" effect. A redeemable token that gives the player access to the Recon Helmet will be bundled with the game to all sales made on the release date, and with all pre-orders outside of the United States. However, if the player is equipped with the exclusive flaming helmet effect, the flames will be visible during gameplay but will not be shown in cinematics.<ref name="update">[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_060410 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 6/4/2010'']</ref>
| |
| | |
| Spartan customization in Reach is increased from the four areas in ''Halo 3'' and the Multiplayer Beta to ten areas in ''Reach''. These areas are: Helmet, Left Shoulder, Right Shoulder, Chest, Knee Pads, Visor Color, Armor Effect, Utility, Wrist, and Firefight Voice.
| |
| | |
| It was demonstrated in [[Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View]] that Jun-A266's ghillie suit was usable, and that a combat knife can be placed on various places on the body.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *There was originally going to be an [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] Armor Permutation in ''Halo 3'', but it was taken out before the game<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release. Bungie, however, did not explain why. Many fans expected it to be released as DLC, but due to the nature of the game that would be impossible.
| |
| *In ''Halo 3'', the neck of an Elite (regardless what Armor Permutation used) is completely immune to any form of damage except for a shot from a charged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]]. In addition, the projectile will simply pass through the neck, as though the neck wasn't there, without a blood spatter. This is because both Elites and Spartans share the same hitbox (where you can hit the character), but have different models.
| |
| **Each Elite also has a modified neck, either sleek black or a different model such as scale-like plating at the back of the neck.
| |
| *It is likely that players will be able to use the Elite character models in ''Halo: Reach'' [[Custom Game]]s, as they were utilised in several gametypes that appeared in matchmaking during the ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta''. These included the Slayer gametype varients 'Covenant Slayer'; in which the players on both teams used Elite player models and Covenant themed loadouts, and 'SvE Slayer'; which pitted a team using Spartan player models and UNSC themed loadouts against another team using Elite player models and Covenant themed loadouts.

Armor customization is a feature in Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite that allow players to customize their multiplayer character's armor to their liking. Almost every game featuring this aspect of customization allowed players to change various pieces of armor worn by their multiplayer character. In Halo 3: ODST specifically, the player was allowed to choose members of Alpha-Nine to play as for the game's Firefight component. The player was still given color choices, and the option to play with or without a helmet was available.
In Halo 3, options were limited to helmets, shoulders, and chest plates, Halo: Reach added onto this selection and offered various helmet attachments, along with newly implemented wrist, utility, knee pad, and visor color options. Halo 4 would continue this trend, but instead of wrist attachments and leg utilities, offered full customization of both forearms and legs. Halo 5: Guardians regressed and only allowed players to swap full body armor sets and helmets. Halo: The Master Chief Collection initially launched with static armor sets for Halo 3, Halo 4 and Halo 2: Anniversary, but was eventually updated to return Halo 4's customization to how it was on the Xbox 360. Halo 3 and Halo 2: Anniversary were also given helmet, shoulder, chest, forearm, and leg options. Halo Infinite went back to a Halo: Reach style of customization, but with the addition of armor cores where different armor pieces can be attached to a specific base armor set.
Beginning with Halo 3, the player was allowed to swap genders for their Spartan in the form of a voice option. Halo: Reach, Halo 4, and Halo 5: Guardians would carry this forward with male and female player models being distinct, while Halo 2: Anniversary would drop the option.
In a unique twist, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 2: Anniversary allowed the player to choose between being a Spartan or Elite. Halo 2 didn't allow for specific armor swapping, but Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 2: Anniversary featured varying levels of armor customization for the Elites. Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite dropped this aspect of player customization altogether.
Halo Online's customization required players to purchase armor pieces with in-game currency, similar to Halo: Reach.
