    Halo 5's Memories of Reach update, the sci-fi shooter's sixth free expansion, is coming later this month. While you have to wait a little while longer to play the new content, GameSpot can today reveal some new, Noble Team-inspired Reqs that are included with the free update, including helmets and armor.

    The new Reqs, showcased in the gallery below Halo: Reach-inspired characters Jorge, Emile, and Jun, includes Indomitable, Vigilant, and Intruder. All of these look pretty badass. Click through the gallery to get a closer look, while full descriptions from 343 follow further down the page.

    Another thing to note that is you will also see Carter's armor set from Halo: Reach, but that's been available in Halo 5 since release in October. When Memories of Reach comes out, all five members of Noble Team will have their armor represented in Halo 5.

    Memories of Reach will be Halo 5's sixth free expansion following the game's launch in October 2015. The others were The Battle of Shadow and Light (November), Cartographer's Gift (December), Infinity's Armor (January), Hammer Storm (February), and Ghosts of Meridian (April). This monthly streak came to an end with Ghosts of Meridian, as it came out in April, missing March.

    In addition to these new Reqs, Memories of Reach adds a new Arena map, Stasis, as well as the fan-favorite zombie-themed Infection gametype, among other things. 343 will reveal more details about the Memories of Reach content during a livestream next week.

    Memories of Reach New Reqs:
    Indomitable (Jorge)
    Helmet Description: The INDOMITABLE helmet is a rare sight on the battlefield, and is usually a sign the UNSC has authorized weapons of mass destruction.

    Armor Description: Created to save lives and not to take them, the INDOMITABLE is an engineering and explosives ordnance disposal Mjolnir variant. Its combat effectiveness is simply fortuitous.

    Wrath (Emile)
    Helmet Description: The Spartan branch contract for WRATH helmets was extremely precise and prescriptive regarding the pattern and method of reproduction for the death's head engraving.

    Armor Description: Formally an upgrade of existing Mark V EVA suits, the WRATH project was actually cover to develop a new Mjolnir variant specifically tailored to the needs of future Headhunter teams.

    Vigilant (Jun)
    Helmet Description: The full extent of the VIGILANT's surveillance and stealth capabilities remain highly classified. Observers have speculated the suit includes a new reconnaissance and fire control system for directing orbital artillery strikes.

    Armor Description: The VIGILANT was originally a one-off upgrade for an unnamed VIP within Spartan branch. Not intended for production, interest in the suit's feature set among Spartan scout-snipers has led to several being assembled for full evaluation.

    Intruder (Kat)
    Helmet Description: The INTRUDER helmet features a full-featured Command Network Module and multi-channel drone controller. The drone controller interfaces directly with Unified Ground Command (UNICOM) kill box management and aerospace deconfliction systems.

    Armor Description: INTRUDER armor was commissioned by Spartan branch as part of a research initiative seeking to leverage synergistic outcomes between specialized Mjolnir suits.

      I always loved Jorge's helmet.

      Hope to see it in a REQ pack someday:)

      Where is Kat's robot arm?

      These variants weren't created for individual Spartans, since kat lost her arm, she got a special modification, too bad we cant voluntarily lose our limbs lol.

      Jorge's Chaingun confirmed, it's probably not going to overheat and that's probably why 343 made the ONI start overheating in the last one.

      Yeah, ok that makes sense. I was trying to figure out what the unrevealed legendary REQ was for this update, didn't look like any of the existing guns but it definitely looks like his chaingun. Could be cool.
    8. Drizzy_Dan

      One of them is his Chaingun as seen in the pics above and the other is still unknown because it's covered by the ONI symbol.

      There are people out there (namely on Waypoint) who believe it to be the Falcon. I disagree.
    9. Agent Zero85
      Agent Zero85
      Yeah, you have to remember the halo lore, the falcon was introduced 2497, and halo 5 takes place 2558, thats almost 100 years! Its obselete.

      This doesn't make them necessarily obsolete. Reach took place in 2552, they were still implemented after that for the operation on Gao in 2553, and possibly other later occurrences but I haven't checked Halopedia. The Scorpion's been around for much longer.
    11. Agent Zero85
      Agent Zero85
      True true, but id imagine in an age like this things would get obsolete much quicker, maybe we are looking at the futures version of an AK47. Old, but extremely reliable.

      I'll be honest, Halo Reach was my favorite game out of the entire series. Played that damn thing waaaay too much. I'm so pumped for this expansion!

      Our Spartan IV's are so scrawny that Jorge's armor just doesn't fit in comparison.

      The others look really good though.
