The FJ/PARA armor types are unlockable in the game's purchase system via the use of cR. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the FJ/PARA armor types are attainable in the Season 1: Noble progression system. The knee guards are unique as the only set of knee guards that are colored according to the player's secondary armor color.
| Armor | Description | Unlock requirements (Halo: Reach) |

Halo 5: Guardians
The FJ/PARA shoulder pauldrons are built into the INTRUDER-class Mjolnir.[8] The FJ/PARA knee guards are built into the NOBLE-, VIGILANT-, and WRATH-classes Mjolnir variants.[4][5][6] All these variants are unlockable in armor customization through the Requisition system.
Halo Infinite
The FJ/PARA knee guards return in Halo Infinite, available as UA/Type FJ for the Mark V[B] armor core under the UA category.[9]
Production notes
- "FJ" is likely an abbreviation of Fallschirmjäger, the German word for "paratrooper".
- During the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the final model for the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron was designated as the Mark V[B]. The FJ/PARA shoulders from the Beta then became the UA/Multi-threat shoulder pauldrons in the final game.
- It is possible that the FJ/PARA knee guards were intended to be the default in-game knee guards instead of a variant. Prior to the game's finalization, what would become the FJ/PARA knee guards were present on SPARTAN-B312, representing the character wearing basic armor prior to the player's customization. Even after being given fully default armor, most videos and images showed the SPARTAN wearing FJ/PARA kneeguards with otherwise fully default armor; the Xbox Avatar of Noble Six also still has FJ/PARA knee guards.
- Catherine-B320's FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron pictured in a cover art image for Game Informer magazine started a recurring joke among the fan community as the shoulder can be seen resembling a face. This "character" was jokingly dubbed "Oonsk" as a humorous pronunciation of the "UNSC" labeled to the shoulder.[10] The character was later acknowledged by Bungie in their weekly updates,[11] and was included in a painting created by Frank O'Connor.[12] The painting was later auctioned off by IGN as a part of a charity event.[13]
