John's armor in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' is largely identical to its appearance in ''Halo 4'', barring minor cosmetic updates. The faceplate has been changed from a dull shade of orange to the vibrant gold of earlier titles. The formerly gashed chestplate is now intact. The undersuit's snakeskin texture is now limited to the arms and upper torso; the rest of the undersuit is smooth, with the waist and legs sporting a subtle digital camouflage pattern. Red piping is painted around the fusion pack's vents, although in the final release of the game, the red piping on the undersuit is now an olive green color. | John's armor in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' is largely identical to its appearance in ''Halo 4'', barring minor cosmetic updates.
