How to Unlock Halo 3 Armors
MARK VI
The MARK VI Armor is the default armor assigned in Halo 3, and is not unlocked. This is the same armor that you play with in the Campaign mode of the game. It is the upgraded version of the MARK V Armor from the Original, Halo: Combat Evolved.
C.Q.B
The C.Q.B Armor Permutation in Halo 3 is unlocked by default. This armor variation features a knife on the Body section of the armor (not the blade on the back Tof the armor, which is unlocked after reaching 1000/1000 GS).
E.V.A
To unlock the EVA Armor in Halo 3, you will need to complete a few different tasks.
- To unlock the EVA Body, you will need to complete Tsavo Highway in Campaign mode on either Normal, Heroic, or Legendary.
- To unlock the EVA Shoulders, you need to complete The Ark in Campaign mode on either Normal, Heroic, or Legendary.
- To unlock the EVA Helmet, you will need to complete the Campaign on either Normal, Heroic, or Legendary.
E.D.O
The EOD Armor set in Halo 3 is a bit more difficult to get than armor such as the EVA set. Rather than beating campaign missions on Normal, or Heroic, you will need to beat them on the Legendary difficulty.
- To unlock the EOD Body, beat Tsavo Highway on Legendary.
- To unlock the EOD Shoulders, beat The Ark on Legendary.
- To unlock the EOD Helmet, beat the Campaign on Legendary
Hayabusa
Perhaps the most popular Halo 3 Armor variation on Xbox Live, the Hayabusa Armor (or Ninja Armor as many call it) is one of the trickier armors to unlock. To get the full set, you will need to unlock every Skull in the game.
- To get the Hayabusa Body, unlock 5 Skulls.
- To get the Hayabusa Shoulders, unlock 9 Skulls.
- To get the Hayabusa Helmet, unlock all of the skulls.
- To unlock the Hayabusa Sword Add-on (attaches to back of Body Armor), you’ll need to unlock all of the achievements in Halo 3 (1000/1000 GS).
Scout
Unlocking the Scout Armor permutation in Halo 3 requires unlocking several achievements in the game:
- To unlock the Scout Body Armor, unlock the Too Close to the Sun achievement.
- To unlock the Scout Shoulders Armor, unlock the Mongoose Mowdown achievement.
- To unlock the Scout Helmet Armor, unlock the Used Car Salesman achievement.
ODST
The ODST Helmet is a standalone piece of unlockable armor. It does not have shoulders or a body piece, but you can mix and match with other sets. To get this Helmet, you’ll need to become a Spartan Graduate. Simply reach the rank of Private in Xbox Live matchmaking to unlock the ODST Helmet.
MARK V
Remember the classic MARK V armor from the original Halo: Combat Evolved? Well, you can bring back the MARK V Helmet by unlocking the “UNSC Spartan” achievement. Reach a rank in matchmaking of Sergeant Online, and the helmet is yours!
Rogue
Rogue Helmet” in Halo 3. In order to unlock this armor piece, you need to get the Spartan Officer achievement (reach the spartan Officer ranks online). It’s been dubbed the Ninja Turtle helmet by some.
Security
This might be one of the last pieces of Armor you unlock in the game, as it requires all of the achievements in Halo 3 in order to unlock it. That’s right. You need 1000/1000 GS on Halo 3 to unlock the Security Helmet.
Katana
Description: The katana is to be used as an extension of one’s arm for those intending to be warriors. It’s an unusable attachment to the back of the Hayabusa's body armor. You get this along with the security armor.How to get the Katana Sword: 1000/1000 G/S
Recon
Looks like Bungie wanted something to let them stand out among fellow gamers in Halo 3. There is a set of Armor (Recon), and a Helmet (Flaming Hayabusa) which can only be worn by Bungie Team members and select community members.Perhaps later on, Bungie will make this content accessible to all, or maybe even give the armor away in contests/competitions.We’ll have to wait and find out for the time being. But you can get Recon Armor by getting all of the Vidmaster Achievements for Recon Armor! And that meens Bungie are giving Recon Armor way for free! Becues Bungie have made or are still making New Recon Armor only for Bungie Employee's!
New Recon Armor comes out 2010!
