Halo 4

 * Description: Created in response to the new rise of combat-fused sporting competitions.

Halo 5: Guardians
While Halo 5: Guardians does not contain Ricochet armor specifically for Spartan customization, the following sets make use of the Ricochet forearms: Air Assault, CIO, Commando, Defender, Enforcer, EVA, Pathfinder, Protector, Raider, Ranger, Recruit, Tracker, Strider, Argonaut, and Challenger.

Production notes

 * The concept art for Ricochet is directly overlaid on top of a promotional render for Air Assault, resulting in an erroneous visor and shoulder depiction. Also of note is the additional armor pieces added onto the thigh armor in concept art that didn't make it into the armor's final design. Despite this, the armor would reuse or retool many of Air Assault's armor assets, including the lower frontal chest armor, the backside of the torso armor, and the bicep armor.

Mistakes

 * Prior to Halo 4's update and launch on PC, renders for the male version of Recruit in Halo 4 on Halo: The Master Chief Collection would feature Ricochet forearms, despite the in-game model using Recruit forearms.

Miscellaneous

 * The armor's helmet and shoulder design alludes to 20th/21st century American football gear.
 * The forearms for Ricochet are featured on the Spartan IVs in Halo 4 ' s campaign, as well as many of the renders for Halo 4 ' s armor long before they were added officially into the armor customization suite.
 * Like all Champions Bundle DLC armor, Ricochet is not presently available in the Halo 4 customization options for Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
