Every Arbiter is given an ancient suit of armor that fits their size, and the armor itself always follow an age-old traditional design that dates back to before the Covenant. Multiple suits of armor are stored in the [[Mausoleum of the Arbiter]], and an individual suit will be mourned if it is lost.<ref>https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-in-the-zone</ref> Unlike the sleek, glossy [[Sangheili harness|armor]] worn by most Sangheili, the Arbiter's armor is made of a dark silvery-bronze metal and is more akin to a suit of [[human]] medieval armor. Notably, it includes a distinctive helmet with a curved hawk-like "beak" covering the face. The armor is secured to the Arbiter's combat suit by blue form-fitting straps and is composed of various segmented plates. A porous, form-fitting underarmor is worn under the metallic plates. | Every Arbiter is given an ancient suit of armor that fits their size, and the armor itself always follow an age-old traditional design that dates back to before the Covenant.
