Unlike the [[Yoroi]] or [[Eaglestrike]] armor cores, the Chimera armor core was available by default during [[Season 03: Echoes Within]], the third [[season]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' [[multiplayer]]. Customization options for the Chimera core are unlocked by attaining levels of the Event Pass or purchasing [[Shop Bundles]] from the ''Halo Infinite'' in-game [[shop]]. Also unlike prior seasons, Chimera-themed shop bundles aren't only available during weeks the Fracture: Firewall event is available, and will rotate in anytime. | |||

|Rampancy is a form of cancerous insanity unique to infolife, by which an AI's personality matrix unravels as it uncontrollably bloats to fill all available processing resources. In rare cases a rampant AI can maintain a semblance of sanity by continuously shedding corrosive shards of its ego into everything it touches through the hyperlink. The most malicious of these shards are vomited into Executor manufacturing clusters to spawn horrors known as WENDIGO units, biomechanical proxies who act as antenna to spread their creator's viral machine code. | |||

*Chimera | *Chimera, alongside [[MIRAGE-class Mjolnir|MIRAGE IIC]] are the first armor cores to feature entirely unique default [[Armor coatings (Halo Infinite)|armor coatings]], those being Domain Framework and Front Lines, respectively. [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]], and [[Yoroi]] utilize variants of Cadet Grey, while [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V [B]]] uses Cadet Blue. [[Eaglestrike]] and [[RAKSHASA-class Mjolnir|Rakshasa]] both utilize Sandgrass Fields. | ||
**Chimera and MIRAGE IIC are also the first armor cores in ''Halo Infinite'' to not feature a unique default visor, with both armor cores defaulting to the "Enlisted" visor utilized by the Mark VII armor core if another isn't owned. One render created for the Firewall Fracture's [[Story Shard|Story Shards]] would instead opt to use the "Dragoon" visor to portray an Executor wearing the armor, while another would utilize an unreleased red visor. | |||
*The Savior Protocol, Karmawall Augmentor, TAG Plugin, and Experiment 21C armor pieces in the Chimera armor core, as well as the TAC/Aegis Puck chest of [[MIRAGE-class Mjolnir|MIRAGE IIC]], are the only armor pieces in ''Halo Infinite'' that change their color and pattern based in the player's visor color. | |||
*The Flayer Crysknife shares its name with the [https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Crysknife crysknife] used by the Fremen in the ''[[Wikipedia:Dune (franchise)|Dune]]'' franchise. | |||
*The Grendel helmet is named in reference to [[Wikipedia:Grendel|the creature]] from the Anglo-Saxon poem ''[[Wikipedia:Beowulf|Beowulf]]''. | |||
*The Merrow helmet is named in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Merrow|mermaid and merman]] from Irish folklore. | |||
