Objectives of the armor's design included having it make sense for the time in which ''Outpost Discovery'' is set as well as representative of armor that would actually be worn by Spartans at [[Outpost Discovery]] locations. In addition, Sarah had to consider practical issues for the wearer such as the need for pockets, flexibility, and the ability to sit down while wearing the costume. She used assets from ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' alongside those from other projects and some she created herself specifically for ''Outpost Discovery'' while designing the armor. A rear-protruding pouch worn around Owen's waist in particular was based on that seen on [[Carter-A259]] in ''Reach'', described as a "[[Wikipedia:Fanny pack|fanny pack]]".<ref name="SSDTMM"/> An exclusive [[Xbox]] avatar costume based on the character is provided for those who purchase tickets for ''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]''.<ref name="OutpostDiscovery"/>
