Trivia[edit]

  • Chimera, alongside MIRAGE IIC are the first armor cores in Halo Infinite to not feature a unique default visor, with both armor cores defaulting to the "Enlisted" visor utilized by Mark VII if another isn't owned. Renders created for the Firewall Fracture's Story Shards would instead opt to use the "Dragoon" visor to portray an Executor wearing the armor.
