For starters, I am completely aware 343i never used the word ‘perks’ and that’s the name the community gave them. I am using the word ‘perks’ as a placeholder name until 343i reveals what they truly are.
My Theory:** After viewing GHOST R3VOLV3R’s In depth analysis on the first Look Trailer, I came across two pictures that had me thinking. Please note, everything in this thread is pure speculation. Thruster/Extra Grenade Image Grenadier Image In the first image, we can see what appears to be a thruster pack on top and on bottom looks like a grenade. The second image shows the text “grenadier” next to the thruster pack and extra grenade. My theory is whatever this ‘perk’ may be, could be directly related to these images. This may be the ‘grenadier perk’ and all it does is allows you to carry an extra grenade. Maybe specific armor permutations give you this ability or maybe instead of load-outs we can choose what type of ‘perk’ we receive. If this theory is correct, and all we receive is something as small as one extra grenade, ‘perks’ may not be as game changing as some may think. What are your thoughts on this idea and if ‘perks’ only do something as small as add an extra grenade, do you feel like ‘perks’ have a strong effect on changing game play?
they never said there would be anything LIKE perks. The only things they said were armor affecting gameplay and customizable loadouts (which is like a perk to me…)
What the i never noticed any off this before? but I’m going to say one thing and one thing only if the grenades are ANY thing like the nuclear warheads that were being thrown around like a football in Halo Reach i will not be happy at all lol.
It’s still an idea that doesn’t have players equal at the beginning of the game and therefore allows long(er)-time players access to greater advantages. Thus is BadTM.
I think it is probably the name of the loadout he picked like the loadouts we have in halo reach. Maybe this one is grenadier? Battle rifle, grenades and Jet pack hmm.

Don’t worry, I would have never noticed it if it wasn’t for GHOST R3VOLV3R’s post going In depth on the first look trailer.
