"Armor Permutations" is a feature in Halo 3, allowing the player to aesthetically customize his/her multiplayer character.
Introduction
Armor Permutations allows a player to customize his/her multiplayer character as either a UNSC SPARTAN-II or a Covenant Elite, and change between different helmets, shoulder pads, chest armor, and detailed colors (primary color, secondary color, and armor detail). All permutations are aesthetic only and do not change gameplay (no bonuses, increased hitboxes, etc).
They were originally discovered in the Halo 3 Beta hexadecimal code by modders and were confirmed to provide high levels of player customization by GamePro's June magazine issue[1]. Calculated together, there are 187,947,000 combinations for the player to choose from.
Armor Permutations are unlocked by accomplishments in either the campaign or multiplayer modes of Halo 3.
SPARTAN Armor Permutations
There are a wide variety of SPARTAN armor permutations, with 11 helmets, 8 shoulder pieces, and 8 chest pieces for a total of 6,144 different SPARTAN armor permutation combinations: one helmet, two shoulder pieces, and chest piece per permutation. This excludes color variations.
Helmets
