Trivia
Edit
- The silver visor can be used to replicate the true ODST helmet, and contains a description implying it is the color of the ODST's. However, the blue visor is more accurate according to Halo 3: ODST. Although you have to use Black visor to replicate the Halo: Reach ODST helmet, meaning you can use three different color depending on what game.
- The gold visor can be used to replicate both the Mark V and Mark VI helmet.
- It seems that some campaign characters (specifically Jun-A266 and Jorge-052) have their own visor color of reddish-orange. This visor color is not available in the armory.
- The Black visor's description is quoted off of Henry Ford's saying, "You can have it any color you want... as long as it's black."
- There are many fake YouTube videos showing "secret" visor colors.
- The player must have at least 435,000 cR and must be a Colonel to own every visor color.
- Bungie stated that there originally was going to be a Red visor color that would be unlocked at Inheritor, but it was cut a month before Reach was released.
- If wearing the Default Visor color with green armor, the visor color appears golden. This is most noticeable with the Grenadier Helmet. This may be a reference to Halo: Combat Evolved as the Master Chief was completely green, where as the later games his color has darkened to sage.
