Armor customization

Originally discovered in the Halo 3 Beta code by modders, armor permutations provide high levels of player customization and were confirmed by GamePro's June issue.

Bungie has confirmed that all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Higher resolution screenshots of the armor permutations in action can be found at the Halo 3 Project's screenshots section at Bungie.net, as of July 2, 2007.

Spartan Armor Permutations

 * MJOLNIR Armor - Mark VI
 * EVA Armor - Extra Vehicluar Activity armour
 * CQB Armor - Close Quarters Battle armour

Bungie has hinted to more types of armour in the June 8, 2007 Weekly Update. Also in June 22, 2007 Weekly Update: "Players were using different permutations than we’ve shown"

In a new update on Bungie.com on July 4: "The EVA Armor and the CQB Armor are two of the numerous types of armor available." .

There were 5 permutations for Spartans discovered by modders in the Beta code; Bungie has currently showed us 3 of them. It is possible that the "numerous" permutations as mentioned above is numbered at 5.


 * Default
 * Intruder
 * Cobra
 * Ninja
 * Regulator

Cobra or intruder may refer the CQB armor as they have rather aggresive names that would refer to its position as a set of close combat armor.

Ninja or Regulator may refer to the EVA armor, ninja beacuse of the EVA's similarity to the SPI armor and its stealth abilities or Regulator due to its position as a space suit and its need to regulate gases for the user.

Sangheili Armor Permutations
Though unconfirmed by Bungie as of yet, Beta code modders also found the following Sangheili armor types:


 * Default
 * Predator
 * Raptor

Possible armor premutations for the Elites may be armor similar to the Arbiter's, Ranger armor, Heretic armor or councilor armor.

Customizable portions
