In-game information[edit]
Halo Infinite[edit]
The Artaius helmet is available for multiplayer Spartan armor customization in Halo Infinite. Introduced during Season 02: Lone Wolves as an unlock within the premium battle pass, Artaius was originally exclusive to the Rakshasa armor core and its associated kits, and would be made available across all armor cores with the release of Season 05: Reckoning. Alongside the helmet and the armor kit available in Season 02's premium battle pass, a weapon charm of Dinh that also featured the Artaius helmet was made available during Last Stand as an unlock within the operation's premium pass; a backdrop would also feature the helmet, releasing during Cyber Showdown III in 2024.
