List of Halo Infinite armor coating skins
Looks that kill.
One of the Halo series' greatest strengths is its player customization features, and this tradition is continuing in Halo Infinite. One of the primary ways that players are able to personalize their Spartan is through the armor coating system, which can be used to change how your armor looks in multiplayer gameplay.
Now that Halo Infinite's multiplayer is available to all players, most of Halo Infinite's armor coatings are now available to use. Here's a complete overview of every Halo Infinite armor coating we know of so far, as well as a breakdown on how you can obtain each one.
Halo Infinite: What are coatings?
Halo Infinite's armor coatings are a special shader-like makeover that you can apply to pieces of armor to change both its color and its material/texture appearance. For instance, one coating may give armor a shiny black metallic appearance, while another might make pieces of armor look crimson with a matte texture.
Notably, there are also coatings for other types of objects as well; Halo Infinite's weapon coatings are a good example of this, as they will allow you to completely change the appearance of your guns. Coatings for vehicles are available also.
Halo Infinite: All armor coatings
Here's a list of all known Halo Infinite armor coatings, as well as information on how you can get them. Note that the requirements to unlock these coatings may change over time as 343 Industries makes adjustments to Halo Infinite. Also keep in mind that some coatings that were previously available through promotions may not be available now, although a way to obtain them could return at a later date.
