Player customization returns in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but with far deeper customization options than ''[[Halo 3]]''. In ''Halo 3'', unlocking armor permutations involved getting a certain [[List of Achievements for Halo 3|achievement]], or a group of achievements. In ''Halo: Reach'', armor is acquired by purchasing it with "[[credit]]s" (cR) in '''The Armory''', although some armor permutations may have to be unlocked through ''Halo: Reach''<nowiki />'s [[List of Achievements for Halo: Reach|achievements]], previous purchases, or by reaching a certain rank. ''Credits'' are earned by winning or finishing games in [[Campaign]], [[Matchmaking]], [[Custom Game]], [[Firefight]], and [[Forge]], or by completing Achievements, getting [[Commendations]], or completing daily and weekly challenges.

'''Armor customization''' returns in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but with far deeper customization options than ''[[Halo 3]]''. In ''Halo 3'', unlocking armor permutations involved getting a certain [[Achievements (Halo 3)|achievement]], or a group of achievements. In ''Halo: Reach'', armor is mostly acquired by purchasing it with "[[credit]]s" (cR) in '''The Armory''', although some armor permutations may have to be unlocked first by reaching a certain rank. Credits are earned by winning or finishing games in the [[Campaign]], [[Matchmaking]], [[Custom game]], [[Firefight]], or [[Forge]] modes; by completing achievements; by getting [[commendations]]; or by completing daily and weekly challenges. As with ''Halo 3'', every armor permutation in ''Halo: Reach'' is purely for aesthetic purposes and does not impact gameplay whatsoever.
 
With ''Halo: Reach'' being added to ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', [[343 Industries]] overhauled the game's unlock system. Credits are dropped in favor of a "[[battle pass]]"-esque manner of progression, with XP being earned contributing to levels that, when passed, grants the player a {{SeasonPoint|[[Season#Season points|Spartan Point]]}}. The Spartan Points can be used to unlock the next tier in the progression system. ''Halo: Reach'' unlocks in ''Halo: the Master Chief Collection'' are contained within [[Season 1: Noble]], and [[Series 5: Anvil]]. Noble contains ''Reach's'' base unlocks present in the original title, while Anvil contains multiple planned, but [[Cut Halo: Reach armor|cut armor permutations]], including [[AKIS]].


==Overview==
==Overview==
In ''Halo: Reach'', there are ten available slots for SPARTAN armor customization. The ten available slots customizable to Spartans feature the '''Helmet''', '''Left''' and '''Right Shoulder''', and the '''Chest piece''', returning from ''Halo 3''. The new slots for customization include '''Wrist''', '''Utility''', '''Visor Color''', '''Knee Guards''', '''Armor Effect''', and '''Firefight Voice'''. In addition, the player's helmet can be "upgraded" with various gadgets, known as ''Helmet Variants''. The player will also be able to choose their character's gender, but unlike ''Halo 3'', the Spartan's gender will also be reflected in their body type, instead of just their voice. Additionally, the player's character will also appear in [[Campaign]] mode, as [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061810 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 06.18.10'']</ref>

In addition to armor customization, players can also choose Noble Six's gender. Any customization done to Noble Six will be reflected in the campaign's cutscenes.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061810|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update 06/18/10|D=12|M=10|Y=2014}}
 
The game no longer allows players to use Elites as their default player model in matchmaking. Instead, Elites are limited to [[Slayer#Halo: Reach|Elite Slayer]], [[Invasion]] and [[Invasion Slayer]] gametypes. Elites are also usable in custom games (through a "Preferred Species" setting) and in Firefight. Armor customization for Elites has been largely simplified from ''Halo 3'': players can only choose a complete armor set rather than making individual armor changes to their Elite player model. Unlocking each armor set requires the player to reach a certain rank for certain armor; for example, to obtain the armor of an Ultra Elite, the player must reach the rank of [[Warrant Officer]]{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061110|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 6/11/10|D=12|M=10|Y=2014}}
 
[[File:Armory flaming.png|250px|thumb|Armor Effect choices with Legendary (Flaming helmet) selected.]]
Additionally, the [[Halo: Reach Limited Edition|Limited]] and [[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Editions]] of ''Reach'' include exclusive armor permutations and effects for the player's 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. 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/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_060410|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 6/4/2010|D=13|M=10|Y=2014}} A redeemable token that gives the player access to an exclusive variant of the Recon helmet, featuring its own attachments, which was also bundled with the game to all sales made on the release date, and with all pre-orders outside of North America.
 
The last two sets of helmets for ''Halo: Reach'' are available through [[Halo Waypoint]] only. Using Waypoint will show the player how to unlock said armor pieces, which each have a base and two additional styles. The unlocks are linked to overall ''Halo'' [[Career Milestones]] (linked to universal ''Halo'' Gamerscore) and specialist achievements; for example, the ''Military Police'' helmet requires the user to have completed ''Halo: Reach'' on Normal difficulty, the second variant of the helmet requires the user to have the [[A Spoonful of Blamite]] achievement and ''Halo 3''<nowiki />'s [[Fear the Pink Mist]] achievement (accompanied by the right Career Milestone award and the base helmet variant).
 
Much like ''Halo 3's'' "Bungie" armor permutation that granted the player an exclusive flaming head, ''Halo: Reach'' featured a then Bungie-exclusive armor effect known as "Eternal", with flames that glowed a bright blue over the normal red-orange. This armor permutation was unobtainable originally, but was made available in 2011 through Bungie's iOS app.


In ''Halo: Reach,'' players will no longer be able to use ''Elites'' as their default player model in Matchmaking, likely for balancing reasons. Instead, Elites will be used in Matchmaking for the new Spartan-vs-Elite gametypes, and will still be able to use Elites in ''Custom Games'', through a "Preferred Species" setting. Elite armor customization in ''Halo: Reach'' has been downgraded from ''Halo 3'' to a complete model swap. Elite armor does not cost additional cR, but instead requires the player to reach a certain rank for certain armor; 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>
===''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''===
''Halo: Reach's'' port on ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' forgoes the prior information, instead opting to have all in-game permutations be unlockable through its revised [[season]] amd [[Rank (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)|rank]] system. All items from the original ''Halo: Reach'' game can be obtained in [[Season 1: Noble]]'s progression system, including all previously-limited edition and exclusive content. Additionally, the UA/Multi-Threat and UA/Base Security chest pieces have been added into the game separate from their [W] counterparts already in ''Halo: Reach'', featuring the same chest armor plates without the grenades.


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 is bundled with the game to all sales made on the release date, and with all pre-orders outside of North America. 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> As with ''Halo 3'', every armor permutation in ''Halo: Reach'' is purely for aesthetic purposes and do not impact gameplay whatsoever.[[File:Armory_flaming.png|thumb|right|Armor Effect choices with Legendary (Flaming Helmet) selected.]]
In [[Series 5: Anvil]] of ''The Master Chief Collection''{{'}}s post-launch support, ''Reach'' saw the addition of several new helmets and chest armor pieces, never-previously usable in any edition of ''Halo: Reach''. The two new helmets; AKIS and [[Mariner]]; are content cut from the original ''Halo: Reach'' game and intended for inclusion in the [[Anniversary Map Pack]] in 2011. These helmets both have three attachments. Additionally, six new chest armour pieces are to be added to ''Reach''. Five of these are "[R]" ([[Artificial limb|robot arm]]) variants of already available chest pieces, while the sixth - [[Armor accessories/EXO|EXO/TSCS]] - is a completely new armor piece brought back from the cutting room floor similarly to the AKIS and Mariner helmets.


The last two sets of helmets for Halo: Reach are available through [[Halo Waypoint]] only. Using Waypoint will show you how to unlock said armour pieces, which each have a base and two additional styles. The unlocks are linked to overall Halo [[Career Milestones]] (linked to universal Halo Gamerscore) and specialist acheivements throughout the Halo game. For example: the ''Military Police'' helmet requires the user to have completed ''Halo: Reach'' on Normal Difficulty, Stage two of the helmet requires the user to have the [[A Spoonful of Blamite]] achievements and Halo 3 [[Fear the Pink Mist]] achievement (accompanied by the right Career Milestone award and the base helmet variant).
[[Series 8: Mythic]] added several new helmets to ''Halo: Reach''. They're not based on cut or removed material from the original title, but are fully new assets, which are also shared with ''Halo 3''.{{Ref/Site|Id=Update2708|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/243780d3b80b4bb6ac7917a8942286db/topics/mcc-development-flighting-updates/3e3252e1-297a-4590-a7ab-67c133b3d37d/posts?page=5#post100|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=MCC Development & Flighting Updates Page 5|Detail=Post 100|D=27|M=8|Y=2021}}


==List of permutations==
A second cut chest piece, named in game files as "[[Preserve]]", is known to exist with 343 Industries having mentioned bringing "multiple" chest pieces back from the cutting room floor, though its present status and if/when it will be brought into ''The Master Chief Collection'' is unknown.

Notably, the soft case the mounts on the lower back of the Assault/Commando chest piece is missing in the armor customization menu, though it still appears in gameplay. Conversely, the smaller cases which appear in the same location on the Tactical/Recon chest piece can be seen in the armor customization menu, but do not appear in gameplay.
*In ''Halo'' games starting from ''Halo: Reach'', initial spawn points used in Forge show a Spartan-III holding a magnum.

Due to a singular color being used for the model, the Spartan's visor and armor colors are unknown.

This article is about the armor customization in Halo: Reach. For other games, see armor customizations.
The Armory in Halo: Reach

Armor customization returns in Halo: Reach, but with far deeper customization options than Halo 3. In Halo 3, unlocking armor permutations involved getting a certain achievement, or a group of achievements. In Halo: Reach, armor is mostly acquired by purchasing it with "credits" (cR) in The Armory, although some armor permutations may have to be unlocked first by reaching a certain rank. Credits are earned by winning or finishing games in the Campaign, Matchmaking, Custom game, Firefight, or Forge modes; by completing achievements; by getting commendations; or by completing daily and weekly challenges. As with Halo 3, every armor permutation in Halo: Reach is purely for aesthetic purposes and does not impact gameplay whatsoever.

With Halo: Reach being added to Halo: The Master Chief Collection, 343 Industries overhauled the game's unlock system. Credits are dropped in favor of a "battle pass"-esque manner of progression, with XP being earned contributing to levels that, when passed, grants the player a Spartan Point Spartan Point. The Spartan Points can be used to unlock the next tier in the progression system. Halo: Reach unlocks in Halo: the Master Chief Collection are contained within Season 1: Noble, and Series 5: Anvil. Noble contains Reach's base unlocks present in the original title, while Anvil contains multiple planned, but cut armor permutations, including AKIS.

Overview[edit]

In Halo: Reach, there are ten available slots for SPARTAN armor customization. The ten available slots customizable to Spartans feature the Helmet (can be "upgraded" with various gadgets, known as Helmet Variants), Left and Right Shoulder, and the Chest piece, which returned from Halo 3. The new slots for customization include Wrist, Utility, Visor Color, Knee Guards, Armor Effect, and Firefight Voice. In addition to armor customization, players can also choose Noble Six's gender. Any customization done to Noble Six will be reflected in the campaign's cutscenes.[1]

The game no longer allows players to use Elites as their default player model in matchmaking. Instead, Elites are limited to Elite Slayer, Invasion and Invasion Slayer gametypes. Elites are also usable in custom games (through a "Preferred Species" setting) and in Firefight. Armor customization for Elites has been largely simplified from Halo 3: players can only choose a complete armor set rather than making individual armor changes to their Elite player model. Unlocking each armor set requires the player to reach a certain rank for certain armor; for example, to obtain the armor of an Ultra Elite, the player must reach the rank of Warrant Officer[2]

Armor Effect choices with Legendary (Flaming helmet) selected.

Additionally, the Limited and Legendary Editions of Reach include exclusive armor permutations and effects for the player's 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. 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.[3] A redeemable token that gives the player access to an exclusive variant of the Recon helmet, featuring its own attachments, which was also bundled with the game to all sales made on the release date, and with all pre-orders outside of North America.

The last two sets of helmets for Halo: Reach are available through Halo Waypoint only. Using Waypoint will show the player how to unlock said armor pieces, which each have a base and two additional styles. The unlocks are linked to overall Halo Career Milestones (linked to universal Halo Gamerscore) and specialist achievements; for example, the Military Police helmet requires the user to have completed Halo: Reach on Normal difficulty, the second variant of the helmet requires the user to have the A Spoonful of Blamite achievement and Halo 3's Fear the Pink Mist achievement (accompanied by the right Career Milestone award and the base helmet variant).

Much like Halo 3's "Bungie" armor permutation that granted the player an exclusive flaming head, Halo: Reach featured a then Bungie-exclusive armor effect known as "Eternal", with flames that glowed a bright blue over the normal red-orange. This armor permutation was unobtainable originally, but was made available in 2011 through Bungie's iOS app.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection[edit]

Halo: Reach's port on Halo: The Master Chief Collection forgoes the prior information, instead opting to have all in-game permutations be unlockable through its revised season amd rank system. All items from the original Halo: Reach game can be obtained in Season 1: Noble's progression system, including all previously-limited edition and exclusive content. Additionally, the UA/Multi-Threat and UA/Base Security chest pieces have been added into the game separate from their [W] counterparts already in Halo: Reach, featuring the same chest armor plates without the grenades.

In Series 5: Anvil of The Master Chief Collection's post-launch support, Reach saw the addition of several new helmets and chest armor pieces, never-previously usable in any edition of Halo: Reach. The two new helmets; AKIS and Mariner; are content cut from the original Halo: Reach game and intended for inclusion in the Anniversary Map Pack in 2011. These helmets both have three attachments. Additionally, six new chest armour pieces are to be added to Reach. Five of these are "[R]" (robot arm) variants of already available chest pieces, while the sixth - EXO/TSCS - is a completely new armor piece brought back from the cutting room floor similarly to the AKIS and Mariner helmets.

Series 8: Mythic added several new helmets to Halo: Reach. They're not based on cut or removed material from the original title, but are fully new assets, which are also shared with Halo 3.[4]

A second cut chest piece, named in game files as "Preserve", is known to exist with 343 Industries having mentioned bringing "multiple" chest pieces back from the cutting room floor, though its present status and if/when it will be brought into The Master Chief Collection is unknown.

Trivia[edit]

  • The current cost of all the armor pieces in the armory combined is 9,634,201 cR. [verification needed]
  • In gameplay, the mandibles of an Elite will protrude out after its death. This is most noticeable with the Ultra, Spec Ops and Ranger permutations as the mandibles will stick out of the helmet.
  • The player's combat knife, along with any armor abilities or armor effects, will not be displayed during cutscenes in Halo: Reach.
  • Armor customization returns in Reach's port for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, however, there are discrepancies between the Unreal Engine 4 renders and in-game customization. Notably, the soft case the mounts on the lower back of the Assault/Commando chest piece is missing in the armor customization menu, though it still appears in gameplay. Conversely, the smaller cases which appear in the same location on the Tactical/Recon chest piece can be seen in the armor customization menu, but do not appear in gameplay.
  • In Halo games starting from Halo: Reach, initial spawn points used in Forge show a Spartan-III holding a magnum. The Spartan is male, wears the base MARK V [B] helmet, a CQC pauldron for his left shoulder, a Mark V pauldron for his right, the default Mark V [B] chest, the TACPAD on his wrist, the TACTICAL/TRAUMA KIT as a utility and FJ/PARA knee guards. Due to a singular color being used for the model, the Spartan's visor and armor colors are unknown.
