Specializations

Specializations are exclusive gameplay enhancements featured in Halo 4. Six specializations were made immediately available on Xbox LIVE to those who purchased the Halo 4 Limited Edition bundle while two were available with the standard game.

Overview
Specializations are unlocked after completing fifty levels in Halo 4. Upon unlocking specializations, the player must choose one to advance through before they can select another. Each specialization consist of rank paths which are composed of 10 levels each. Armor sets, emblems, visor colors, weapon and armor skins, and armor mods are unlocked along those paths. Armor mods work similar to tactical packages and support upgrades and, are not tied directly to a specific armor for that specialization which means a player doesn't have to wear that armor to use that particular mod.

Engineer
The engineer specialization optimizes a Spartan for the subversion, repair and reconstitution of a wide range of technology. It is equipped with the Drop Recon armor mod, which allows the Spartan to predict the location and time of an Ordnance Drop through an external suborbital monitoring system.

Pioneer
The Pioneer specialization optimizes a Spartan for deployment into uncharted, hostile territory for the gathering and relaying of intelligence. It is equipped with the Fast Track armor mod, which modifies the amount of post-game experience obtained by the Spartan, resulting in faster leveling.

Wetwork
The Wetwork specialization optimizes a Spartan for stealth operations, focusing on the elimination of targets while leaving no tactical footprint behind. It is equipped with the Stealth armor mod, which dampens the sound of sprinting, allows for quicker assassinations, and minimizes the Spartan's Promethean vision presence.
