The SPI Armor Mark II was a more advanced version of the SPI Mark I, first used by the drill instructors of Beta Company, and then by the Spartans of [[Beta Company]]. They had new photo-reactive coating to boost their camouflaging properties. There were also numerous experimental refits to the gel ballistic layers, upgraded software suites, and other functions. Although the new photo-reactive coating could mimic a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, it was still sensitive to overload, which is why it takes the suit a few moments to reset after a flashbang or [[plasma]] hit.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', page 113</ref>

After the augmentation of [[Gamma Company]], small adjustments were installed into the SPI Armor Mark II.
