===''Halo 5: Guardians''===
Defender returned as an [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The suit is not a fully-original design, and employs several ''[[Halo 4]]'' armor pieces including the [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms and [[LG-50 Bulk]] legs while retaining the standard Defender chest and shoulders. The Defender set has three alternate skin designs; Castle, Redoubt and Fortress.
'''Available skins''': Castle, Fortress, and Redoubt<br>
'''Default unlock''': Rare [[REQ]] card<br>
'''Castle unlock''': Rare REQ card<br>
'''Redoubt unlock''': Ultra Rare REQ card<br>
'''Fortress unlock''': Legendary REQ card
*'''Helmet description''': It has not escaped notice that the observation and communication features of the DEFENDER helmet are well-suited for combat actuation in urban environments.
*'''Body description''': The placid DEFENDER faceplate is a symbol of both UNSC oppression and protection, due to use by Spartan anti-Insurrectionist units.
