'''Armor abilities''' are gameplay items featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', and ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''. Similar to Halo 3's [[equipment]] pieces, these items can be picked up and activated by players. Unlike Halo 3's equipment pieces however, they are reusable.

They are replaced in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' by the universally available [[Spartan abilities]].

== Overview ==

Armor abilities are a ~~refined gameplay feature~~ of ''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki />'s [[equipment]]. Instead of being single-use, each ability is reusable, with a cooldown time between uses. In [[campaign]], the player begins with the sprint armor ability at the start of each level, and is able to swap it with other armor abilities they may come across. In [[multiplayer]], armor abilities can be chosen through [[loadout]]s before a match is started or during a player's respawn time. Armor abilities can be manipulated like weapons in [[Forge]].<ref name="armor">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=faq&cid=25850 '''Bungie.net''': ''Armor Abilities'']</ref>

Most armor abilities are enabled by a small device attached to the user's lower back, with each ability displaying a different color. When not in use, these devices will project a hologram that displays the icon of the ability, allowing for quick recognition from a distance or when switching abilities. When players are killed, the armor abilities will not be drop down.
