== Overview ==
''Halo Infinite''{{'}}s armor customization allows players to change their helmet, helmet attachments, chest gear, shoulder pads, gloves, wrist gear, knee pads, hip utility, visor color, and [[Armor effects]]. Furthermore, players can customize [[Emblems and Nameplates (Halo Infinite)|emblems]] on their chest piece. Players can unlock armor permutations pieces through [[season]]al [[Battle Pass]]es, [[Challenges/Halo Infinite|challenges]], in-game [[Event|events]] for both canon and [[Fractures]], and by purchasing items through the [[Shop]].{{Ref/Reuse|mpreveal}} Additionally, armor pieces are exclusive to their acquisition methods; for example, items on the Battle Pass are not currently unlockable through other methods.{{Ref/Generic|[[Halo Infinite Multiplayer Overview]]|Quote=All of these rewards are single source, so you're never going to be confused about where things come from. If you can unlock something in the Battle Pass, we're not going to let any other players circumvent that by purchasing it out of the storefront.|Quotee=Ryan Paradis}} 

Players choose their armor core, which acts as the foundation for the aesthetic of their armor.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShowcase|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/showcase-sensitive|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Showcase Sensitive|Quote=... each of the helmets below as part of the new Mk.

As of the August 9th 2022 update, visors were made cross-core compatible. 

With [[Season 05: Reckoning]] on October 17, [[2023]], helmets were made cross-core compatible.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=HINFS5RTrailer|QORZtiws6Sk|Halo|Season 5: Reckoning Trailer - Halo Infinite|D=08|M=10|Y=2023}} While armor kits were originally locked presets and could not be customized, Season 05 added the ability to change newly released kit items, including the visor, coating, emblem, armor effect, and mythic effect set. This change affects the ''Infinite'' Mark VI, Rusalka, Transgressor, and ''Combat Evolved'' Mark V armor kits. On January 30, [[2024]] with the launch of the [[Spirit of Fire (Operation)|Spirit of Fire operation]], shoulders were made cross-core compatible.

==Production notes==
===Changes===
With the release of Season 03, all icons for helmets on the Mark VII armor core released during Season 01 were updated to be more in line with those used for Season 02's [[Battle Pass|battle]] and [[event]] passes. Differences included a subtle angle shift and a change in the icon's visor color from gold to green. Season 04 saw the [[Yoroi]] core's icons being updated, following the same theme as the Mark VII armor core, featuring a green visor, an altered image angle, and the removal of the Gatekeeper shoulders from any applicable render. As of [[Content Update 32]], none of the relevant attachment icons for Mark VII were updated, and the icons for the [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V [B]]] and [[Eaglestrike]] armor cores remained untouched.

Additionally, with the release of Content Update 29 and the Spirit of Fire operation, the menu icons within the Armor Hall were altered. Rather than changing in real time, and featuring the player's armor coating and visor color, icons were replaced with static, uniform variants. This was done to alleviate performance issues that began with the release of Season 03: Echoes Within.

-While ''Halo: Reach'', ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' all featured gendered customization options, ''Halo Infinite'' would instead opt for three gender-independent body types representing various builds, with the player's voice being determined separate from the body type they picked. Armor cores hailing from Fractures and certain newer armor kits do not abide by this option, and feature only one base look for the player's bodily proportions.
