AKIS-style module

The AKIS-style module was developed in parallel to the AKIS helmet, and has only been observed as compatible to the AKIS helmet.[12]

Gameplay

The CBRN modules serve as cosmetics and have no impact on gameplay.

Halo: Reach

Two of the CBRN modules are available as attachments on several helmets in the armor permutations of Halo: Reach. The device is priced at different levels of Credits, depending on the base helmets. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the same CBRN-attached helmets are unlockable in Season 1: Noble, while the AKIS-style module added in Season 5: Anvil.

Halo 5: Guardians

A CBRN module is featured on the EOD GEN1 helmet, which is one of the helmets that could be acquired through the Classic Helmet REQ Pack in Halo 5: Guardians .

Production notes

"CBRN" stands for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear, and is pronounced "C-BURN". It is the same abbreviation used in real life, hence its association with the HAZOP armor permutation.
