-'''Fractures''' are reinterpretations of the [[Halo universe]], akin to alternate universes, that exist separately to the core canon of the franchise.

 Fractures universes are used to lend background lore to otherwise non-canonical in-game elements, such as the [[Yoroi]] and [[Eaglestrike]] core in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' or [[Belos armor|Belos]], [[Blackguard armor|Blackguard]], and [[Drengr armor|Drengr]] armors in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. As such, they are often linked to in-game [[event]]s, such as ''MCC''{{'}}s [[Series 8: Mythic]] or ''Infinite''{{'}}s [[Fractures: Tenrai]] event.{{Ref/Reuse|TenraiLaunch}}{{Ref/Reuse|CF118}}

+{{Main|Fractures: Entrenched}}
 The Entrenched universe is dieselpunk-themed. In this universe, the soldiers fight using 'ruinously' expensive and tough armor paid for by the working populace to fuel the final fight against the Covenant Invasion. The armor used is [[Eaglestrike]].{{Ref/Site|Id=April22|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/season-2-map-previews-catalyst-and-breaker|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Season 2 Map Previews: Catalyst and Breaker|D=15|M=4|Y=2022}}{{Ref/Site|Id=modepreview|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/season-2-modes-preview|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Season 2: Modes Preview|D=21|M=4|Y=2022}}

 ===Firewall===
-In the Firewall universe, a failed AI uprising took place. The Chimera armor offers a unique vision of a potentially dangerous digital future where artificial minds and augmented bodies become one.
+{{Main|Fractures: Firewall}}
+Whereas other Fractures take place in alternate universes, Firewall is set in the canon ''Halo'' universe and provides a glimpse of events inside [[Created]]-controlled territory in the aftermath of [[Cortana]]'s defeat at [[Installation 07]] in late 2559. High Auxiliary [[Sloan]] set in motion a contingency plan known as the FIREWALL agendum to create the [[Executor]]s, cybernetically-augmented humans clad in [[Chimera (armor)|Chimera armor]] that would allow artificial intelligences, or "infomorphs" to enact their wills in the corporeal universe. Currently, only one Executor exists as a proof of concept, but Sloan plans to build an army.

 ===Tenrai===
+{{Main|Fractures: Tenrai}}
 The Tenrai universe is inspired by Japanese culture. In this universe, the 343 clans of the Imperial Court once feuded with each other for generations, but united in the face of an invasion by the [[Covenant]]. To defeat the invaders, the clans pooled their knowledge and crafted a new type of armor for their samurai warriors: [[Yoroi]].{{Ref/Reuse|TenraiLaunch}}
