The base version of the Raider's samurai-inspired aesthetic is similar to that of the [[Project HAYABUSA|HAYABUSA armor]] from ''[[Halo 3]]''. The armor is acquired through ''[[Halo Waypoint]]'' after completing the first three chapters of Episode One of [[Spartan Ops]] and entering a series of hidden codes.
