Chimera (armor)

The Chimera is an armor core employed by Executors in the Firewall Fracture.

In-game information
Unlike the Yoroi or Eaglestrike armor cores, the Chimera armor core was available by default during Season 03: Echoes Within, the third season of Halo Infinite multiplayer. Customization options for the Chimera core are unlocked by attaining levels of the Event Pass or purchasing Shop Bundles from the Halo Infinite in-game shop. Also unlike prior seasons, Chimera-themed shop bundles aren't only available during weeks the Fracture: Firewall event is available, and will rotate in anytime.

Trivia

 * Chimera, alongside MIRAGE IIC are the first armor cores in Halo Infinite to not feature a unique default visor, with both armor cores defaulting to the "Enlisted" visor utilized by Mark VII if another isn't owned. One render created for the Firewall Fracture's Story Shards would instead opt to use the "Dragoon" visor to portray an Executor wearing the armor, while another would utilize an unreleased red visor.
 * The Savior Protocol, Karmawall Augmentor, TAG Plugin, and Experiment 21C armor pieces in the Chimera armor core, as well as the TAC/Aegis Puck chest of MIRAGE IIC, are the only armor pieces in Halo Infinite that change their color and pattern based in the player's visor color.
 * The Flayer Crysknife shares the name with the namesake's knife used by the Fremen in the Dune franchise.
