Spartan units from Team Omega appear only in the fifth ''[[Halo Wars]]'' campaign level of ''[[Arcadia Outskirts]]''. They are essentially clones in gameplay terms: all six members share voice files with and carry the same weapons as the named members of Red Team. The player must fend off Covenant attacks for 20 minutes until the arrival of Team Omega, which then triggers the final objective of destroying the [[Covenant citadel]]. | |||
===''Halo Wars 2''=== | |||
Three members of Team Omega, including Leon-011, Robert-025, and August-099, are available as special units when playing as leader Commander Jerome from the [[downloadable content]] "Icons of War" Pack. In addition to being armed with different weapons, each Spartan unit is equipped with energy shielding and capable of [[Boarding (gameplay mechanic)|boarding]] enemy vehicles. | |||

They wear an early design design of the Mjolnir Mark IV that was abandoned later in the game's development.
