Armor mods
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Armor mods are gameplay enhancements featured in Halo 5: Guardians. They are prominently featured in the Warzone gamemode as REQ upgrades unlockable via the requisition system for use in a player's loadout, and in the co-operative campaign of the game. In co-op, the various upgrades are used by the co-op Spartan NPC characters, as a way to differentiate the individual members of Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris.
Armor mods are similar to the support upgrades and tactical packages introduced in Halo 4's multiplayer.
Overview
Campaign
Blue Team's shared armor mod is Auto-Medic, which increases the rate at which their energy shields and health recharge. All members of Fireteam Osiris use the Upgraded Thrusters armor mod, which decreases the cooldown between thruster pack uses, shortens the delay before reaching full sprinting speed, and slightly increases the maximum sprinting speed. Below is a list of the armor mods used by each character:
- Advanced Sensors is used by Holly Tanaka and Linda-058.
- Frag Grenade Expert is used by Jameson Locke and Frederic-104.
- Speed Booster is used by Olympia Vale and Kelly-087.
- Increased Strength is used by Edward Buck and John-117.
- Unique to Kelly is the Reflex Enhancers armor mod.
Multiplayer
- This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

- Death From Above - added in Hammer Storm.
