So… currently we know of 5 Armor Cores in Halo Infinite.
- Mark VII Gen3
- Mark VI[B] Gen1
- Yoroi Armor
- Whatever Spartan Laurette Agryna is wearing in the Academy tutorial.
- Mark VI Gen3 (Master Chief’s MJOLNIR Armor from the Campaign which we HOPEFULLY get to play with in multiplayer as well)
But I do have some predictions for what we might get in Halo Infinite sometime down the line for Armor sets. Some of these are highly likely, while others are somewhat unlikely or somewhat wishful thinking.
-
Mark IV Gen1
(Halo Wars / Halo Wars 2 MJOLNIR armor) -
Mark V
(Halo CE Anniversary Mark V MJOLNIR) -
Mark VI Gen1
(Halo 2 & Halo 3 Mk.6 MJOLNIR) -
Mark VI Gen2
(Halo 4 & Halo 5 Guardians Mark VI MOD armor) -
Mark VII Gen2
(Halo 5 Guardians’ Decimator Armor Set) -
ODST
(an Armor Core that takes ODST Helljumper assets from all the Halo games, comics, and movies) -
Mark VIII Gen3
(since Halo Infinite is planned to be a decade-long running game, it is reasonable that we would eventually get a Mk.8 MJOLNIR Armor Core) -
Mark IX Gen3
(ditto but a Mk.9 MJOLNIR Armor Core) -
Mark X Gen3
(ditto but a Mk.10 MJOLNIR Armor Core) -
SPI
(a bit more likely than one would think, considering Halo MCC has the “Mirage” Armor Set in Halo 3) -
Orion
(another likely candidate, since Halo MCC now has the “Orion” Armor Set in Halo 2 Anniversary) -
Belos
(likely to be an Event Battle Pass Armor Core like the Yoroi armor) -
Blackguard
(likely to be an Event Battle Pass Armor Core like the Yoroi armor) -
Drengr
(likely to be an Event Battle Pass Armor Core like the Yoroi armor) -
Prometheus
(A merger between Halo 4’s Prefect Armor and Halo 5’s Hellcat Armor Design.) -
Helioskrill
(A Gen3 recreation of Halo 5’s Helioskrill Armor Set)
These are just some of my predictions of potential armors we might see. We may also see things such as crossover armor sets with the likes of Doom, Gears of War, and Fallout inspired Armor Cores. Perhaps we will see other Halo armor styles, such as Hunter as a reference to Fireteam Osiris, Venator, or Gungnir.
Anyone else have some hopeful predictions?
I for one am very hopeful that we will be able to unlock Master Chief’s Mark VI Gen3 as an Armor Core for playing the Campaign on harder difficulties.
ESPECIALLY given the fact that we have seen Kelly, Frederic, and Linda wearing the Mark VI Gen3 Armor BUT with their own unique helmets on the cover of Halo : Shadows of Reach.
This highly implies that we might be able to customize ourselves with such armor if we can unlock it in a future season or by playing the Campaign.
