Trivia
- The ARGUS-class MJOLNIR is named after Argus Panoptes, an all-seeing giant with one hundred eyes. This could also compliment the helmet's design, as it appears to have multiple types of optical equipment attached to it.
- The Arestor skin is named after Argus' father.
- All Argus armors in Halo 5: Guardians have "058" stenciled on the chest plate in Braille.
- In the final version of Halo 5: Guardians, Linda's GEN2 Argus armor has the techsuit gloves in two colors (beige and orange), in the same two-tone coloring scheme as Kelly-087's Hermes (light silver and yellow) and Frederic-104's Centurion armors (pale blue and turquoise).
