===''Halo 4''===
Pathfinder was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. Players need to first reach [[Rank (Halo 4)|SR-50]] to unlock Pathfinder and seven other [[Specialization]]s. Progression through the Pathfinder Specialization ranks grant players with the Pathfinder armor permutations, Pathfinder [[multiplayer emblems|multiplayer emblems (foregrounds and background)]], the [[Support upgrades#List of upgrades|Gunner support upgrade]], and the [[MA5D assault rifle]] PREDATOR (PRD) weapon skin. In ''The Master Chief Collection'', the Pathfinder set, its Core (CORE) skin, and associated customizations are available by default.
