The Eaglestrike core in Halo Infinite.
“ Survival on the front lines requires EAGLESTRIKE energized plate, a marvel of war-smithing that protects against both radiation and Covenant plasmatron weaponry.[1] ”

The Eaglestrike is an armor core used by the Unified Nations Security Confederation in the Entrenched Fracture.[2]

In-game information[edit]

The Eaglestrike armor core is unlockable by attaining level 5 on the Event Pass during the Fractures: Entrenched event in Season 02: Lone Wolves, the second season of Halo Infinite multiplayer. Customization options for the Eaglestrike are unlocked by attaining later levels of the Event Pass or purchasing Shop Bundles from the Halo Infinite in-game shop during the weeks when the Fracture: Entrenched event is live.[3][4] With the release of the December update during Halo Infinite's Winter Update, the Eaglestrike armor core was granted to all players for free.[5]

Trivia[edit]

  • The base EAGLESTRIKE helmet's design is based on the SHINOBI-class Mjolnir helmet, albeit simplified, featuring a near identical visor design, while removing the Shinobi helmet's distinctly east-Asian elements, including the frontal crest.
  • The BRODIE helmet's appearance and name is a reference the British Mark 1 helmets of 1915.
  • The M199X helmet's design is based on the ODST helmet, also sharing a visor design, while featuring an altered headcap.
  • The KERBEROS helmet's appearance is similar to the Jin Roh's Kerberos Panzer Cops' helmet, a series of manga/anime famous for the movie Jin-Roh.
    • Both helmets are heavily inspired by the Stahlhelm, a helm worn by German soldiers during both World Wars.
  • The LEADBELCHER helmet's design is based on the EOD-class Mjolnir helmet, featuring an overall similar design, albeit with a visor akin to a welder's mask.
  • The SKY MARSHAL helmet's appearance is similar to the Rocketeer's helmet, a fictional superhero comic published by Pacific Comics.
