The [[Tactical attachments|TAC/RS/STARLIGHT]] attachment, identified as a CNM in ''Halo: Reach'', and the FARNDALE module are available as attachments on several helmets in the [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor permutations]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The device is priced at different levels of [[Credit]]s, depending on the base helmets.
