Armor effects

Armor effects are a special customizable option in the Armory in Halo: Reach. Armor effects are visible in all gametypes, though they do not display in cutscenes.

Death Effects
The following effect occurs when the player is killed.

Birthday Party



 * Cost: 200,000 cR
 * Effect: When a player dies, confetti explodes out from their body and a clip of children cheering(Yay!) will play.

Living Effects
The following effect is continuously visible as long as the player is alive.

Legendary (Flaming Helmet)



 * Cost: Available for free to buyers of the Halo: Reach Legendary Edition.
 * Effect: Flames similar to those from Bungie Armor burn around the player's head.

Aurora

 * Cost: Only available to Bungie employees

Living/death Effects
The following effects are continuously visible as long as the player is alive, with a secondary effect when the player is killed.

Heart Attack



 * Cost: 300,000 cR
 * Effect: Every few seconds, a heart floats out of the players body and disappears. When a player dies, several flying hearts will appear around the body of the player. This armor effect is similar to the "Dancing Marty" easter egg in Halo 3: ODST.
