Eaglestrike
The Eaglestrike core in Halo Infinite.
Survival on the front lines requires EAGLESTRIKE energized plate, a marvel of war-smithing that protects against both radiation and Covenant plasmatron weaponry.[1]

The Eaglestrike is an armor core used by the Unified Nations Security Confederation in the Entrenched Fracture.[2]

In-game informationEdit

The Eaglestrike armor core is unlockable by attaining level 5 on the Event Pass during the Fractures: Entrenched event in Season 02: Lone Wolves, the second season of Halo Infinite multiplayer. Customization options for the Eaglestrike are unlocked by attaining later levels of the Event Pass or purchasing Shop Bundles from the Halo Infinite in-game shop during the weeks when the Fracture: Entrenched event is live.[3][4] With the release of the December update during Halo Infinite's Winter Update, the Eaglestrike armor core was granted to all players for free.[5]

Boggart
Banished The Goblinstrike effort by Venezia makes use of Created technology stolen from Balaho to restart a Covenant factory satellite and manufacture Grunt-ish armor for augmented human mercenaries. Phew. Get all that? The BOGGART is the first result that didn't result in unnecessary fatalities from design defects. For Banished and independent Grunts it is also a friendly face in an unfriendly galaxy. Friendly for a Grunt, at least. Legendary Purchase the "Boggart" Bundle from the Shop for 1,800 cR

TriviaEdit

  • The base EAGLESTRIKE helmet's design is based on the SHINOBI-class Mjolnir helmet, albeit simplified, featuring a near identical visor design, while removing the Shinobi helmet's distinctly east-Asian elements, including the frontal crest.
  • The BRODIE helmet's appearance and name is a reference the British Mark 1 helmets of 1915.
  • The M199X helmet's design is based on American M1 helmet
  • The KERBEROS helmet's appearance is similar to the Jin Roh's Kerberos Panzer Cops' helmet, a series of manga/anime famous for the movie Jin-Roh.
    • Both helmets are heavily inspired by the Stahlhelm, a helm worn by German soldiers during both World Wars.
  • The LEADBELCHER helmet's design is based on the EOD-class Mjolnir helmet, featuring an overall similar design, albeit with a visor akin to a welder's mask.
  • The SKY MARSHAL helmet's appearance is similar to the Rocketeer's helmet, a fictional superhero comic published by Pacific Comics.
