The Bungie Armor at the Appearance screen.
The Bungie Armor is an Armor Permutation only available to Bungie Studios employees [1]. The armor is visually identical to the EOD Armor's chest piece, save for its fire effect and the absence of the EOD Armor's lights near the shoulders and center.
In contrast to the Recon Armor, which for a time was believed to be a Bungie-only armor set, the Bungie armor will not be given out to anyone outside the company. As a con, however, the flaming head is still visible even when in Active Camo, negating its usefulness. This could lead to many frustrating deaths, especially during invisibility-related games.
Trivia
- When Bungie was asked, "Since Frankie left does he still have his Flaming Helmet?" it was replied with, "The flame has been extinguished". The only exception to Bungie's employee-only rule is Nathan Fillion, as revealed in the 7/7/09 Podcast. When asked, he is known to insist that he invented the Radar Jammer.
- Bungie is advertising the armor on their website with the logos "Get hired, get fire" and "Game with Flame". The appearance of a flaming head is probably another reference to flaming ninjas, which Bungie commonly refers to.
- A popular misconception is that Bungie's Flaming Helmet is actually a variant of the EOD armor. In fact, it is a flame on the collar and is a chest piece. The Bungie Chest Piece creates the flame on the player's head which can be used with any helmet and shoulder piece. There are but extremely few ways to receive this. Mr. Sark on G4TV announced on October 29, 2009 that Bungie would give their eponymous armor to the winner of Sarkathlon 4, a VIP map on Longshore and a custom gametype that requires a copy of Halo 3: ODST. The winner of the Sarkathalon was Pope Rex, completing it in 1:06.
