Armor coatings (Halo Infinite)

Article Discussion
This article is about the armor coloration system for Halo Infinite. For uses of skins or coatings in other games, see Skins.

Two Spartans employing different armor coatings, showcasing different armor colors and texture.

Armor coatings, also known as armor skins, are an element of player customization in Halo Infinite. They are a seven layer system that change the materials and coloration of a player's armor permutation.[1]

Coatings act much like base color selection in previous Halo titles. By default, Halo Infinite features an array of average colors for the player to use for free. Additional coatings can be earned through the game's multiple battle passes, events, and challenges. Some coatings could only be obtained through promotional campaigns and the release of certain toys and collectibles that started in 2020. Exclusive coatings, such as Watchdog and Master Builder, can only be obtained through acts such as reaching SR-152 in Halo 5: Guardians, or managing to get a map featured in a playlist in Infinite respectively. Finally, a majority of coatings can be purchased, either individually, or through bundles that rotate in through Infinite's Shop.

While not every coating is compatible across every armor core, updates from the Winter Update through to Content Update 29 have made the majority viable to use across all available armor cores. Additionally, new coatings released for Season 04: Infection onwards are naturally compatible across all armor cores.

TriviaEdit

ChangesEdit

Between their unveiling and release, certain armor coatings underwent changes, ranging from minor to major. These include:

  • The Granular coating, the render of which originally displayed a predominantly cyan Spartan with green accents. The techsuit of said Spartan was yellow and red. The final version of the coating has the player's Spartan taking on a primarily yellow color, with some minor red, blue, and green accents, while their techsuit is fully black. In the final game, the 343 Industries-exclusive armor coating, Unicorn Dream, bears a large resemblance to the pre-release version of Granular.

  • The original version of the Granular coating, seen in promotional images for the Chips Ahoy promotion.

  • The final version of the Granular coating, as seen in Halo Infinite.

  • The Blood Shadow coating, revealed in a promotional image featuring seven Mark VII-clad Spartans, originally featured metallic red on the upper torso's portion of the techsuit. The rest of the coating remained unchanged from its launch state.

  • A comparison of Blood Shadow, from pre-release to launch.

  • The Primal Glory coating was formerly known as "Grassroots" before being updated prior to its release as a Twitch drop. No aesthetic changes occurred.
  • The Red Shift coating, which underwent a more subtle change, with most wear and tear seen on the pre-release render being removed from the final product. Additionally, most colors on the coating appeared to be much brighter.
    • It was announced in the Season 1 Outcomes Report that the Red Shift coating, along with the Watchdog coating, will be updated to be more in line with previously released renders. On March 6, 2023, it was announced that Red Shift's updated variant, now known as "Shred Shift", would arrive with Season 03: Echoes Within's release.

  • The original promotional image for the Red Shift coating.

  • The final version of the Red Shift coating, as seen in Halo Infinite.

  • The Scarlet series of coatings, Scarlet Empress, Scarlet Skies, and Scarlet Wake, were subject to a change with the release of Season 03. Like Untethered Wind, the Scarlet coatings utilized the Cadet Red color palette, which was subsequently made free and default to all players. The newer variations of the Scarlet coatings utilize a more metallic shade of red, replace areas on the armor with silver, or deep black, and also utilize different techsuit textures compared to the originals.
  • The Splinter Desert coating was subject to a near unnoticeable tweak, with the original promotional image for the coating showing the camouflage pattern on the Spartan's shin area of their techsuit. The final coating would opt to keep the shin region entirely brown.

  • A comparison of Splinter Desert, between the December 2020 installment of "Inside Infinite", and launch.

  • The Untethered Wind coating was subject to a large overhaul, following the December update during Halo Infinite's Winter Update. Originally, the coating utilized the Cadet Blue color palette, however, with the addition of the Cadet coatings across all current armor cores lacking them, Untethered Wind was changed to feature a brighter blue, silver and white in place of muted gray, cyan lighting over orange, and finally, a new, shinier techsuit texture.

  • A comparison of Untethered Wind, with the new version on the left, and the original on the right.

  • The Vermillion Flame coating on the Yoroi armor core featured a minor change between Season 03 and Season 04, with one of the skirt armor's lights being changed to white, rather than the metallic red of the coating it originally was.

  • A comparison of Vermillion Flame on Yoroi, with the left being the original, and the right being the updated coating.

  • The Watchdog coating, which, like Red Shift, underwent a subtle change, where the silver seen on the coating's pattern was much more muted than pre-release renders.
    • It was announced in the Season 1 Outcomes Report that the Watchdog coating, along with the Red Shift coating, will be updated to be more in line with previously released renders. During a community playdate on December 14, 2022, an updated coating, "Watchdog Neo", was shown off and slated for release with Season 03. Looking near identical to the original Watchdog coating shown off in late 2020, Watchdog Neo will be added alongside the original, allowing players to keep both the old and new versions of Watchdog. Additionally, Neo will be added to newer cores released since 2021, which includes Rakshasa, Eaglestrike, Mirage, and Chimera.

  • A comparison of Watchdog, between the December 2020 installment of "Inside Infinite", and launch.

  • The Wild Kovan coating, first seen in the Halo Infinite Multiplayer Overview, originally featured the coating's signature camouflage pattern on the elbow region. Upon the game's release, this area of the coating would be changed to feature a black, textured design matching the coating's upper torso techsuit design.

  • A comparison of Wild Kovan, from pre-release to launch.

ReferencesEdit

  • The Karaba Sirocco's color scheme is a reference to the Mobile Suit Gundam series and possibly to the MSK-008 Dijeh mobile suit from the 1985 anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, due to the usage of the light pale cyan color scheme instead of a pure white or grey of the RX-78-2 Gundam. The name references organization Karaba and character Paptimus Scirocco also from 1985 anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. It is possible the references to Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam are due to Halo Infinite's campaign taking place on the Zeta Halo ring.
  • The Ultramarine Corps' name, color scheme, and description are references to the Ultramarines Legion, one of the twenty Space Legions in the Imperium of Man, from the table-top franchise "Warhammer 40,000".
    • The First Founding is the event when the original twenty Space Marine Legions, including the Ultramarines, were created by the Emperor of Mankind.
    • The color scheme is similar to the one used by the Angels Revenant chapter, one of the Ultramarines' successor chapters.
  • The Jacknife's color scheme is a reference to that of the Evangelion Unit 01 from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.[2] The name of the coating may be a reference to the PKN-01C Progressive Knife, a weapon used by the Evangelion Unit-01 that resembles a jackknife.
  • The Powersuit Hero's name and color scheme is similar to the Power Suit found in Metroid Dread. However, instead of a pale white, the coating has a dark gray color as its accent.
