The Bungie Armor is an Armor Permutation only available to Bungie Studios employees . The armor resembles heavily the EOD Armor except the for the fact it will activate the flaming helmet. However It is the Body piece that causes the Helmet to look like it is on fire and not the Helmet its self.

Trivia

• 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.
• There is a joke among fans that a cloaked wearer would resemble a campfire, especially on maps such as Valhalla or Standoff.
• Bungie is also advertising it on their website with a logo "Get hired, get fire".
• The appearance of a flaming head is probably another reference to flaming ninjas, which Bungie commonly refers to.
• The only physical difference from the EOD chest armor is the lack of LED lights on it.
• When Bungie was asked, "Since Frankie left does he still have his Flaming Helmet?" it was replied with, "The flame has been extinguished".
• It may also be referred to as E.O.B. (Employee Of Bungie) armor.
• Once killed, the fire on top of the player who has the flaming headpiece extinguishes, similar to Flaming zombies or Ghost Rider.
• For quite some time, it was believed that it was not a body plate, but rather a helmet. Most commonly thought as the flaming hayabusa helmet.
• There are rumors on Xbox Live that a friend of Bungie got this armor piece as well, even though he no longer works for the company.
• There was a speculation that the fire on the armor isn't a part of the helmet, instead being a part of the collar on the torso armor which is now proven to be true.
• The Bungie employees make a joke about the chest piece calling it a "man bra" in the 1/09/09 Bungie Podcast.
• Currently the only way to get the chest plate is to join the bungie team.
