Some of the armor variants in Halo 5: Guardians.

Armor permutations in Halo 5: Guardians allow players to customize their Spartan player model. These armor sets can be obtained by getting to a certain rank in the game along with unlocking achievements in Halo: The Master Chief Collection and obtaining armor in REQ packs. Unlike Halo 4, armor customization in Halo 5: Guardians is limited to the helmet, armor, and visor.[1] In addition, new armor permutations are released post-launch via REQ content updates as is the case for Mark IV and Mark V sets, for example.
