Production notes[edit]
Armor pieces from the Emissary armor set, including the helmet, left shoulder pad, and utility, were featured in Halo's stream thumbnail for the Banished Honor operation. The armor would never be featured in any of the operations within Content Update 32, only finally being introduced in the Champions operation within the July Update, five months after CU32's announcement.
