Production notes

"Though capable of efficiently utilizing the new modular tactical package system, Lethbridge has also modified several SCEPTRE suits to use the alternative plug-in upgrade system championed by Materials Group. The SCEPTRE belongs to a new family of Mjolnir-based armor systems."
— LANCER's (then-known as SCEPTRE) original armor description in Halo Online.

The LANCER armor set was originally created as a useable armor permutation for Halo Online, a cancelled Halo 3-derived multiplayer game developed by Saber Interactive and Innova Systems which was intended to be released exclusively in Russia for the PC. After the game's cancellation in 2016, the armor was one of six sets added to Halo 3 in The Master Chief Collection as part of the game's sixth season in 2021.[citation needed]

During the development of Halo Online, the LANCER set was concepted and developed under the name of "SCEPTRE". During the Halo Online Betas, the suit had a notable different backstory to the final revision seen in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
