Armor Mods

Like weapons and vehicles, Armor Mod REQ Cards are distributed through REQ Packs. Unlike some REQ Cards, armor mods are permanent additions to your collection.

Like loadout weapons, armor mods are unlimited-use REQ Cards that can be activated at a REQ Station during Warzone matches. Once an armor mod REQ Card is in your collection, it stays there—these cards are not consumed. However, you must meet the REQ Level of 5 before they can be activated. These modifications enhance your Spartan in various ways. While they’re not cheap to activate, armor mods give you a slight edge over opponents—unless they’re equipped with the same mod. If you die, you can activate the same mod again, but you’ll still have to pay up. So weigh the pros and cons of activating armor mods before rushing into combat. If you have achieved a high REQ Level and have no other REQ Cards you want to activate, equipping an armor mod is highly recommended-you have nothing to lose.
