'''Armor customization''' returns in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but with far deeper customization options than ''[[Halo 3]]''. In ''Halo 3'', unlocking armor permutations involved getting a certain [[Achievements (Halo 3)|achievement]], or a group of achievements. In ''Halo: Reach'', armor is mostly acquired by purchasing it with "[[credit]]s" (cR) in '''The Armory''', although some armor permutations may have to be unlocked first by reaching a certain rank. Credits are earned by winning or finishing games in the [[Campaign]], [[Matchmaking]], [[Custom game]], [[Firefight]], or [[Forge]] modes; by completing achievements; by getting [[commendations]]; or by completing daily and weekly challenges. As with ''Halo 3'', every armor permutation in ''Halo: Reach'' is purely for aesthetic purposes and does not impact gameplay whatsoever. | '''Armor customization''' returns in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but with far deeper customization options than ''[[Halo 3]]''.

With ''Halo: Reach'' being added to ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', [[343 Industries]] overhauled the game's unlock system. Credits are dropped in favor of a "battle pass"-esque manner of progression, with XP being earned contributing to levels that, when passed, grants the player a {{SeasonPoint|[[Season#Season points|Season Point]]}}, which can be used to unlock the next tier in the progression system. ''Halo: Reach'' unlocks in ''Halo: the Master Chief Collection'' are contained within [[Season 1: Noble]], and [[ | With ''Halo: Reach'' being added to ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', [[343 Industries]] overhauled the game's unlock system.

Noble contains ''Reach's'' base unlocks present in the original title, while Anvil contains multiple planned, but [[Cut Halo: Reach armor|cut armor permutations]], including [[AKIS]]. | ||

The game no longer allows players to use Elites as their default player model in matchmaking. Instead, Elites are limited to [[Slayer#Halo: Reach|Elite Slayer]], [[Invasion]] and [[Invasion Slayer]] gametypes. Elites are also usable in custom games (through a "Preferred Species" setting) and in Firefight. Armor customization for Elites has been largely simplified from ''Halo 3'': players can only choose a complete armor set rather than making individual armor changes to their Elite player model. Unlocking each armor set requires the player to reach a certain rank for certain armor; for example, to obtain the armor of an Ultra Elite, the player must reach the rank of [[Warrant Officer]]{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061110|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 6/11/10|D=12|M=10|Y=2014}} | The game no longer allows players to use Elites as their default player model in matchmaking.

''Halo: Reach's'' port on ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' forgoes the prior information, instead opting to have all in-game permutations be unlockable through its revised [[season]] amd [[Rank (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)|rank]] system. All items from the original ''Halo: Reach'' game can be obtained in [[Season 1: Noble]]'s progression system, including all previously-limited edition and exclusive content. Additionally, the UA/Multi-Threat and UA/Base Security chest pieces have been added into the game separate from their [W] counterparts already in ''Halo: Reach'', featuring the same chest armor plates without the grenades. | ''Halo: Reach's'' port on ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' forgoes the prior information, instead opting to have all in-game permutations be unlockable through its revised [[season]] amd [[Rank (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)|rank]] system.

In [[ | In [[Series 5: Anvil]] of ''The Master Chief Collection''{{'}}s post-launch support, ''Reach'' saw the addition of several new helmets and chest armor pieces, never-previously usable in any edition of ''Halo: Reach''. The two new helmets; AKIS and [[Mariner]]; are content cut from the original ''Halo: Reach'' game and intended for inclusion in the [[Anniversary Map Pack]] in 2011. These helmets both have three attachments. Additionally, six new chest armour pieces are to be added to ''Reach''. Five of these are "[R]" ([[Artificial limb|robot arm]]) variants of already available chest pieces, while the sixth - [[Armor accessories/EXO|EXO/TSCS]] - is a completely new armor piece brought back from the cutting room floor similarly to the AKIS and Mariner helmets. | ||
