In ''[[Halo 4]]'', the device now covers the user's entire face. It has one cyclopean eye lens in the middle front that glows red-pink and overall the headgear resembles a full helmet. The light can be seen from quite a distance, making snipers easier to spot. This variant is also seen in ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]'', indicating that it has been in use since the start of the Human-Covenant War.
