What armor pieces are available in Halo Infinite? Armor in Halo Infinite is purely cosmetic, but there are plenty of good reasons to want to collect all the different pieces out there. Customising your Spartan with armor you've earned from the Battle Pass or bought from the store is a way to show solidarity with your team, showcase your achievements from current or previous seasons, or just make yourself stand out in a multiplayer match.

Below is a list of all the armor piece categories in Halo Infinite, as well as details on how to unlock new pieces to customise your armor cores, and information on how to enter the Armor Hall to apply them.

There are a few different types of armor pieces you can collect in Halo Infinite, and you can combine them (with a few restrictions) in a huge variety of ways to customise your Spartan and make them look truly unique.

The armor customisation categories (called 'Sockets' in-game) in Halo Infinite are as follows:

You can further customise the appearance of your armor with three additional sockets: Emblems — a painted symbol that appears on your Spartan's chest; and Armor Effects/Mythic Effects — visual effects which surround your armor. Unlike the other pieces these aren't restricted to certain armor cores, though you can still unlock more of them as you play.

There are currently three armor cores available in Halo Infinite:

Your Spartan will always be wearing one of these armor cores, but you can customise their apperance using the other types of armor pieces listed above. Generally speaking, you unlock additional armor pieces by following the same progression path that unlocks the core: so pieces for the the Mark VII tend to come from the Free Battle Pass, the Mark V (B) from the Premium Battle Pass, and the Yoroi from the Fracture: Tenrai event pass.

Additional armor pieces can be purchased from the in-game store, which features a couple of sets per week and rotates its stock every Tuesday. Just watch out when you buy, though, as it's possible to purchase sets for armor cores you don't actually own, which you then won't be able to apply.

In order to apply your chosen customisations to your armor in Halo, you simply need to enter the Armor Hall.

From the main menu, select the Customize tab.

Under the Customize tab, you will see the option to enter the Armor Hall. From here, select the armor core you want your Spartan to wear.

Selecting an armor core allows you to apply any custom pieces you have unlocked to the various appropriate sockets on that armor.

Below is a list of all Armor Kits currently available in Halo Infinite, and details on how to unlock each one.

At the time of writing, there are no Armor Kits compatible with the Yoroi armor core.

At the time of writing, all Armor Kits for the Mark VII core are obtained in the same way: by purchasing them from the Halo Championships Store. All nine Mark VII Armor Kits are themed around a Halo Championship Series Esports team, and the cost of your in-game purchase will be added to the prize pool for the event taking place on December 17th. Each Kit costs 1,000 Credits (approximately $10) and to keep things fair, they're all Epic rarity.

All Armor Kits for the Mark V (B) core are unlocked as you progress through the Premium Season 1 Battle Pass.

That's everything you need to know to go about customising your armor in Halo Infinite, but be sure to keep an eye on this page, as we'll update it with more information about new cores and individual pieces as we learn it!
