Assault harness



The Assault Armor is a type of Elite body armor.

Introduction
The Assault ARMOR is an armor set of the Elite race. It is the opposite of the UNSC CQB Armor, featuring a dynamic recharging Energy Shield. It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Development and History
It is a reissued precovenant Elite Harness that features reinforced aligned composites buttress princaple protective stratum to preserve structural coherence of underlying tissue and ultra resilient deltoid protection to aid in the concussive shock force and direct kinetic energy. Much like the Combat Harness it is also designed to be intimidating and damage the enemies psyche.

Helmet Characteristics
The helmet is completely sealed unlike the combat armor and its main feature is a rounded plate around their forehead and head. It then features a pair of goggle like lenses, which are usually orange or green. Both mandibles are protected by an angular guard and features a neck ring to the back with a pair of lights on each side

Deltoid Protection Characteristics
The Deltoid Protection is squared off with a simple set of shapes and rectangle plate with a roughly triangle on each side.

Thoracic Cage Characteristics
The Thoracic Cage is identical to the Combat Amor Thoracic Cage but with a pair of clasps on each shoulder and a piece of hexagon shaped armor going up the center of the chest, unlike the Combat Armor.
