Prediction for S3's other Armor Core unlocks

Games Halo Infinite
1

The SPI/Mirage Armor Core and the new Fractures armor core will take center stage most of the time.
But we can also guarantee that some new stuff will be added to the Mark VII, Mark V [B], and Rakshasa in either the Battlepass or the shop.

So.
What can we expect to be added?

I will be going off of helmets, seeing as they are the most recognizable parts of the armor sets in every game.
And I predict that most of it will be armor assets from Halo 4 and Halo 5 being reimagined in the Gen-3 style.

Well then.
Here are my predictions -

Mark VII —

  • HAZMAT (derived form H4’s HAZOP, renamed to avoid confusion when cross-core reaches helmets) —

  • KILLERBEE, which is what I like to call Spartan Agryna’s armor core and helmet —

  • ROGUE in the Halo 3 style of course —

  • SCANNER from H4 and H5G —

  • TRACKER from H4, given a few touch-ups to the design —

  • WARRIOR from H4 and H5G

Mark V [B] —

  • EOD —

  • MILITARY POLICE —

  • OPERATOR —

  • SECURITY —

Rakshasa —

  • BUCCANEER, which is made up of cheaper and off-the-shelf parts —

  • RICOCHET, which makes sense considering how many pieces of armor this core has described as “extreme sports equipment” —

  • SEEKER, which should receive a redesign to the helmet. Something along these lines perhaps? —

  • VENATOR, which canonically has its origins in MJOLNIR Gen-1’s armor lineup. So perhaps utilizing the bottom-right helmet in from this image of Halo Reach’s concept art would be fitting? Alternatively, this could be the prototype for Locke’s HUNTER helm? —
    https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9b/6e/ee/9b6eee20e8c08fc06e83fae2e5384255.jpg

    • Also I would like to point out that Orbital, Ranger, Raider, and Strider all have their origins in MJOLNIR Gen-1 as well, so perhaps the bottom-left pic in the link above can be Oribital/Strider Gen-1 and the bottom-center can be Raider/Ranger Gen-1 and also someday be applied to the Mark V [B] armor core? Food for thought I suppose.

Well, those are my current predictions to what we might see in the form of Weekly Ultimate rewards, shop rotations, event pass items, or even actual Battlepass tier rewards.

Thoughts anyone?

I’d expect Rosenda A344’s armor to be added as a kit for the Mark V [b] too. Currently all the parts are there aside from her paint job, the Recon Shoulder(s), and her unique chest piece.

I’d also not be surprised if they decided to add the Akis GRD kit too, as the infamous easter egg spartan doll was added to forge.

Agreed.

Or perhaps 343 will go the lazy route and have the Rakshasa AKIS helmet be the one used for the Mark V B in order to save development time?

Going off Recon and Trailblazer, I have at least a little faith they won’t do that.
