Protector-class armor was designed for combat superiority during defensive engagements, including anti-infiltration, and siege-resistant functionality, where its heavy rating offers incredible resiliency and resourcefulness for defensive stands, predominantly for population centers and urban environments. It is optimized for zone defensive positions and forward plane coverage.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

Protector was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The armor has one available skin: Drift (DRFT). As with all ''Halo 4'' armor, the skin was not included in the initial release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', though the release of ''Halo 4'' on PC and the start of [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] saw the skin added into the collection as a default unlock.

The Protector set returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor is not a fully-original design, and as such includes a number of supplementary ''Halo 4'' pieces - primarily the [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms. The PRotector set has one alternate skin; Stalwart.
