Unlocking Halo 3 Armor
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008A new and exciting feature for Halo gamers is the new Halo 3 Armor, it allows the gamers’ to be able to customize their online character’s to better express themselves, or just to make their character look really cool. There are two different characters’s that gamers can choose from, they can either be the UNSC SPARTAN-II, better known as Master Chief or they can play as a Covenant Elite. These new armor permutations can either be unlocked when the gamer finishes certain accomplishments that can either be found in the campaign side of the game or during the multiplayer side of the game.
Since there are two characters’s that gamers can choose to play as for their online character, means that there are different Halo 3 Armor permutations available for either character they choose. For a gamer who chooses to play as an Elite character, they can choose from 5 helmets, 5 shoulder pieces and 5 chest pieces to give themselves a combo of 1 helmet, 2 shoulder pieces and 1 chest piece for their character. Now, since not all players usually play as a Covenant Elite character there are not as many armor permutations as there are for the gamer that plays as the character of Master Chief. So for the gamer that chooses the Covenant Elite character, there are 625 different permutations available to be chosen from.
If the gamer is going to play as Master Chief or UNSC SPARTAN-II they will actually have 6,144 different armor permutations available to them that they can choose from. The only reason that this number is higher then the Covenant Elite character, is due to the fact that more gamers’ will play as this character. The gamer has the same possibility as the gamer that plays as an Elite character; they will be able to choose from 11 helmets, 8 shoulder pieces and 8 chest pieces. They can choose a combination of 1 helmet, 2 shoulder pieces and a chest piece to personalize their character.
There are a few different ways that a gamer can unlock these Halo 3 Armor permutations. Some armor pieces may already be unlocked by default for both characters, however other pieces will be unlocked in different ways. You can unlock armor by beating the campaign in either the Heroic difficulty or the Legendary difficulty. Other pieces of armor can be unlocked by completely achievements throughout the game.
