The Bungie Armour is an Armor Permutation only available to Bungie Studios employees [1]. The armor resembles heavily the EOD Armor except the flaming helmet.

Trivia

  • In contrast to the Recon Armor, which for a time was believed to be a Bungie-only armor set, the Bungie armor will not be given out to anyone outside the company. As a con, however, the flaming head is still visible even when in Active Camo, negating its usefulness. This could lead to many frustrating deaths, especially during invisibility-related games.
  • There is a joke among fans that a cloaked wearer would resemble a campfire, especially on maps such as Valhalla or Standoff.
  • Bungie is also advertising it on their website with a logo "Get hired, get fire".
  • The appearance of a flaming head is probably another reference to flaming ninjas, which Bungie commonly refers to.
  • The only physical difference from the EOD chest armor is the lack of LED lights on it.
  • When Bungie was asked, "Since Frankie left does he still have his Flaming Helmet?" it was replied with, "The flame has been extinguished".
  • It is unknown what program (Hayabusa or MJOLNIR) the armor belongs to; however, it's speculated to be non-canon as it is purely for decoration and doesn't make any logical sense for Spartans to wear.
  • It may also be referred to as E.O.B. (Employee Of Bungie) armor.
  • Once killed, the fire on top of the player who has the flaming headpiece extinguishes, similar to Flaming zombies or Ghost Rider.
  • There are rumors about a certain map on Blackout which you have to complete to get the 'Bungie' body which is called Flaming Ninjas.
