Like whatever Multiplayer shooter, many Halo fans were looking forward to all the new customization options coming to Halo Space, and 343 has largely delivered on these expectations. Since its release, we accept gotten cat ear helmets, dissimilar colored armor pieces, and many other additions for your Spartan. Nevertheless, ane affair that has eluded players is the ability to swap armor pieces between Armor Cores. For case, if yous have a Mark V Armour Core, you can not put Marking VII pieces on it.

Still, co-ordinate to Reddit user Eminemcrony, the power to customize regardless of Armor Core was easily turned on by modders. Additionally, in the Reddit thread linked beneath, you tin see the screenshots provided by user Hantar7788 of Spartans in different armor pieces despite their Armor Core.

This revelation has caused a fair bit of give-and-take amidst the Reddit thread, with many players trying to understand why programmer 343 has chosen not to include this feature and if they will add it in the time to come. From this discussion, 2 major themes have emerged: lore and coin.

Showtime, let'due south rule out lore as the reason. If the primary concern with cross Armor Core customization is lore, developer 343 wouldn't have added the cat ears mentioned above.

Second, let's talk about money. As pointed out by many users in the thread, 343 has likely fabricated this choice to force players to purchase/earn individual pieces to complete their sets. This determination would likely strength players to either spend more or progress further in the Battle Laissez passer to complete the wait they want. However, this doesn't seem similar an effective practice since a big portion of the thread has expressed that they would spend more coin if they had the option to pick each piece of their armor.

Lastly, to add an even stranger wrinkle to the story. Many players in the thread have pointed out that the bots in multiplayer often accept mix and match armor. If true, this ways robots have more freedom to customize themselves than players.
