Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The helmet uses a Prototype VISR 5.0 monocular plating. The chest has a duress-limiting collar base for strain testing, a component shelf for ad hoc modularity. The reactor pack has dynamic reactor vents to prevent internal expenditure.[1]

Development history[edit]

The Vanguard variant was manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems on New Carthage in the industrial township of Kotka.[2] Vanguard-class armor was a state-of-the-art front-line tech used primarily by SPARTAN-IV personnel in direct enemy engagement. Unlike other armor systems that facilitate secondary and tertiary needs, it focuses solely on face-to-face combat with enemy units.[2]

Vanguard is often used by Hannibal as a test bed for new technology this means it has seen more action in War Games due to its over-arching purpose.[1]

In-game information[edit]

Vanguard was first introduced as an armor set in Halo 4. The armor has one available skin: Converge (CNVG).
