Bungie Armor



The Bungie Armour is an Armor Permutation only available to Bungie Studios employees. The armor resembles heavily the EOD Armor except the flaming helmet.

Trivia

 * In contrast to the Recon Armour, which for a time was believed to be a Bungie-only armor set, the Bungie armor will not be given out to anyone outside the company. As a con, however, the flaming head is still visible even when in Active Camo, negating its usefulness. This could lead to many frustrating deaths, especially during invisibility-related games.
 * There is a joke among fans that a cloaked wearer would resemble a campfire, especially on maps such as Valhalla or Standoff.
 * Bungie is also advertising it on their website with a logo "Get hired, get fire".
 * The appearance of a flaming head is probably another reference to flaming ninjas, which Bungie commonly refers to.
 * The only physical difference from the EOD chest armour is the lack of LED lights on it.
 * When Bungie was asked, "Since Frankie left does he still have his Flaming Helmet?" it was replied with, "The flame has been extinguished".
 * It may also be referred to as E.O.B. (Employee Of Bungie) armour.
 * Once killed, the fire on top of the player who has the flaming headpiece extinguishes, similar to Flaming zombies or Ghost Rider.
 * For quite some time, it was believed that it was not a body plate, but rather a helmet. Most commonly thought as the flaming hayabusa helmet.
 * There are rumors on X-Box Live that a friend of Bungie got this armor piece as well, even though he no longer works for the company.
 * There was a speculation that the fire on the armor isn't a part of the helmet, instead being a part of the collar on the torso armor which is now proven to be true.
 * The Bungie employees make a joke about the chest piece calling it a man bra in the 1/09/09 Bungie Podcast
