New Halo 3 Armor Types Discovered
  • 89 Comments
by Vince Veneziani on May 28, 2007

Being the excited fanboys that they are, any Halo 3 news is good news to most 360 owners. Seems one investigative Halo 3 beta-player dug deep into the files being used for the game and found a little buried treasure. See the image for this post? The following strings were found inside some code used for the Halo 3 beta. They reveal new armor sets called Cobra, Ninja, Intruder, and Regulator, all available for multiplayer use when you play as a Spartan.

That’s not all though. More digging found two new sets for Elite players. You’ll be able to choose default, Raptor, or Predator for your armor type. Unfortunately, no screenshots are available, but expect some to surface soon. It’s only a matter of time before Bungie officially releases some new screenshots with the new armor types in play.

  • lol wow people have u played H3 or what THERE IS BOUT 10 KINDS OF SPARTAN ARMOUR AND 5 ELITE ARMOUR u jsut have to unlock them dumbasses

  • Well Matt, if you noticed, most of them were talking about it BEFORE Halo3 was released.

    And there’s 7 types on Mjolnir armour.

  • well how do you unlock them cuz i have completed normal and easy and have not yet got any new armor

  • if these are armor types then how do you unlock them i already have the scout helm. and chest plate

  • i unlocked the flite armor for the elite but ive completed it on heroic and i still dont have all the armor

  • ive beat it on legendary and ive found all the skulls and i just got the complete set of hayubasa armor by getting all the skulls, its pretty badass looking. i havent seen any cobra, regulator, intruder, or ninja armor types anywhere tho.

  • yeah i have all the helmets for spartan except one, and im pretty sure thats the security helmet, and i am missing 2 helmets of elites but i have all the body types.
    Spartan helmets – Mark IV, Mark V, COB, EVA, EOB, EOD, ODST, Scout, Hayabusa, Security

  • Well they could have changed the names of the masks ever think of that.

  • how do u get the new armor

  • To get samurai(hayabusa) you hav to get all of the skulls, the others take getting achievements, and beating the game on legendary or just plain beating it.
    Others take triple kills and other crap online.

  • ive got the hayabusa

  • Ive got it too, at least – thats what i like to think :[… XP

  • wait wheres the final silver skull, anyone know?

    i got the one on sierra 117, crow’s nest, and the ark, but i don’t know where the last one is!

  • The last skull is on the covenant

  • you have to kill every one and jump trough a setern order of the ring’s on it

  • how do you get the sword on your back, can anyone help me out? my friend said unlock every achievemnt but i was told there was another way

  • the skull in the covenent is in the tower that the arbiter activates

    ps:I AM THE ULTIMATE HALO FAN BECAUSE I HAVE ALL THE HALO PRODUCTS
    INCLUDING THE 2 FEET STATUE WHICH IS REALLY RARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • if u mean the energy sword it doesn’t go on your back it goes next your hip

  • There is a katana you can get on your back if you unlock all achievments. You cant use it, but it is there for show. I have all the armour and shit too. You must unlock ALL the achievments. i only need the 15,000 score ones on campaign.

    SKULLS………………………………………………………………………………………………

    Blind Skull

    Description: “Shoot from the hip”

    Stage: First Stage

    How To Find: When you get to the area where you see the Phantom overhead (one of the marines will point it out) jump over the rocks and keep following the path on the right. When you get to the cliff there will be a rock over of the side. The skull is on the end of the rock.

    Note: This skull has to be Activated before you start a Campaign map.
    Iron Skull

    Effect: When either player dies in Co-Op on any difficulty both players will restart at last check point.

    Where to Find: Spartan 117

    How to find: In the area where you rescue Sarge, behind the prison cell is a large ledge. Got to the far right side and jump on the boxes, then onto the pipes to get up on the ledge, goto the far end of the ledge, turning two corners the skull is at the far end.
    Tough Luck Skull

    Effect: Enemies do saving throws

    Where to find: Tsavo Highway

    On Tsavo Highway, about halfway through the mission (right after you are forced to walk through a large blue barrier), you will come out of a tunnel on the highway, and see a large pipeline on your left. Drop down in between the two, and run to the wall in front of you. Follow the wall all the way to where it connects with the cliff on your right, and turn to the left. There should be a few ledges–simply crouch jump from ledge to ledge, and the last one should have the “Tough Luck” skull on it.
    Mythic Skull

    Effect: Every enemy on the field now has double their normal amount of health.

    Where to find: Halo

    How to find: As soon as the mission starts walk up the hill in front of you and into the cave. Hug the right side of the cave and after a large boulder you will see a path on your right, just take the short path and it will be at the end.

    Cowbell Skull

    Effect: Explosive force increased (sputnik from H2)

    Level: The Ark

    Location: First pick up a grav lift from the small building near where you fight the scarab. Now proceed through the level until you reach the second sloping hallway (stairway), you should see some partitioned risers (platforms) halfway down. The skull is on the top level. Toss the grav-lift on the right side of the hall so it lands on the fourth little green dot from the door. Then run, jump, and use the grav-lift to propel you to the top. You should reach a ckeckpoint just as you enter the room so it you miss just try again.
    Thunderstorm Skull

    Mission: The Covenant

    Effect: “Field promotions for everyone!” — Upgrades enemies to their stronger versions.

    After you shut down tower 1 and get access to the hornet, fly to tower 2 (the one the arbiter shut down). While walking up the stairs, go to the middle part that connects both and there should be a stair leading up to a platform where the skull is.
    The 7 Terminals

    The Ark:

    1. Start the mission and once you enter the first building take a left into another door and now you should be in a curved corridor. On the inside is a Terminal.
    2. After activating the bridge to let your comrades accross the gap, do a 180 and you should see it. (it does not open until you activate the bridge)
    3. In the third building after defeating the scarab, kill the group of sleeping covenant, then follow the corridor downwards. Once you reach a door in front that is locked, immediately on the left there’s an open door. Go through and walk straight off, then do a 180 to find a secret room. It is in there.

    The Covenant:

    1. When in the first tower standing on the lift, face the access panel and turn left. Jump over and it’s right there.
    2. Land your hornet on the second tower, walk towards the entrance but when you see the locked door, do a 180. Should be right in front of you.
    3. When in the third tower standing on the lift, face the access panel and turn right. Jump over and it’s right there.

    Halo:

    1. After reaching the end of the first cave, hug the right wall and you will see a building. Jump up onto the walkway and hang a left once inside. It’s right there.

    Catch Skull

    Mission: The Storm

    Effect: “Pull pin. Count to three. Throw.” — Every NPC carries two grenades and throws them often.

    You can get this by performing a grenade jump off a warthog, or grab a ghost and go back to the ramp from which you first came out, using the ghost to push a big square crate back over to the front of the silo pod that the skull is on top of, then use the box as a place to jump from.
    Fog Skull

    Mission: Floodgate

    Effect: “You’ll miss those eyes in the back of your head.” — Your motion sensor disappears.

    As you are walking down from the anti-air gun you destroyed in the previous mission, you encounter a ramp (next to a missile launcher). Around this ramp, you hit a checkpoint. At this point, you should also hear a marine yelling, “There! Over There!”. Look up and to the right, directly at the roof of the building next to the missle launcher. There is a single flood form (not to be mistaken with the two other flood forms jumping in front of you) which is holding the skull. Kill him before he jumps, and he will drop the skull down to the ground where you can retrieve it. Too early, and the skull will get stuck on the roof though, so just time it carefully.
    Famine Skull

    Mission: The Ark

    Effect: “Trust us. Bring a magazine.” — Dropped weapons will have very little ammo compared to normal.

    When you first go into the valley to the right after the wrecked phantom, look to your left where you will see a huge boulder. Use a ghost and get to the side of the boulder that is closest to the bridge overhead. It is easy to pilot the ghost up the side of the wall using the thrust. To get the skull, pilot 2 ghosts up the wall to the top of the bridge and stack them one on top of another next to the beam where the skull is placed. Simply jump from the top of the ghosts towards the skull and land on the beam.
    Tilt Skull

    Mission: Cortana

    Effect: “What was once resistant is now immunity” — Enemies have different body parts that may be resistance to certain bullet types

    When in the circular type room with all the flood look for a small structure piece next to two archways, jump on top if it and up on the rocks to the top left, turn left and jump up again, then do a 180 and jump to the rocks across from you. After that follow the the rock sticking out and leading up on top of of the original circular room, the skull will be in a pile of blood.

    Special Ending…………………………………………………………………………………………….

    If you beat the game on Legendary mode, you will get a special, extended ending. Keep in mind that you only have to beat the final stage on Legendary mode, and not necessarily the rest of the game, in order to unlock this ending.
