The Twin-plated vambraces are present in Halo 4 as armor customization options. The base wrist armor is available through the game's progression system, while two additional skins exist as alternatives, being available through the game's Commendation system, and through the now-defunct "Classified" archives on Halo Waypoint. These skins are dubbed "AEON" and "SWIFT".

Production notes[edit]
The "Swift" variant, along with its companion armor pieces for the ORBITAL armor set were the subject of a ten month long decoding process of various Halo Waypoint posts and IRC chats. The code "Yanumas" is an inside reference between Section 3 members, where the code could be entered for the armor set. With its discovery and release in October of 2014, this marks the latest and ultimately final armor set that was able to be earned within original release of Halo 4 on the Xbox 360.[2]
