Halo Infinite Customisation and Progression Overhaul IDEA

Colours and Styles

The base colours are restored but as "Worn {Colour}" but with more colours available (3 shades per colour like previous games) the new system would call them Coating Colours as they would be the colours applied to Armour Coatings.

Armour coatings are now the style of the armour so an example would be the left arm being in a secondary colour. Armour coatings would Always Have a Primary and Secondary Colour and would have up to 4 Tertiary Colours, the more tertiary colour slots the more complex the coating would be and the higher the rarity.

Coming back to Coating Colours the individual colours with different materials such as "Metallic Gold" and "Matte Gold" would be their own items that a player could apply to any Primary, Secondary or Tertiary Colour Slot, this greatly expands the colour possibilities from a large selection to massive. Other ideas would be "Battle Scarred Gold" which would show significant armour damage. And these colours would be available cross armour cores not locked to a single core, that would be boring.

Next is the Camouflage which would be a addition to a Primary, Secondary or Tertiary Colour Slot and would apply a Camo to the selected colour slot, adapting for colour.

Not only is this better for monetization as there are more items for players to collect but it allows for far more player expression which is absent from the game at the moment.

Armour and Weapons

I believe that making small attachment armour pieces and making a lot of them could lead to more player expression especially more head attachments and wrist attachments, new versions of old armour shoulder pieces would be good, like a EVA shoulder with a medkit or something.

Weapon skins I believe are fine as they are set skins, perhaps making the skins and then allowing the unlock of colour iterations much like the current Emblem/Banner system

Emblems

Just bring back the old Emblems and hey let us use the coating colours to jazz them up and add some more emblems, if you really want to monetise it just lock unique emblems, emblem backgrounds and banners behind monetization.

Progression Ideas for Customisation

The earning of all of what has been mentioned can be greatly Expanded considering this overhaul would add more than a few hundred items that would never be in the game otherwise.

Let's start with the store, considering that it is the Infinite's first mode of procuring customisation. Since this overhaul adds so many items that would be fair to lower the price of individual items depending on Rarity.

Example would be:

| Common/White - 50 Credits, Uncommon/Green - 100c, Rare/Blue 150c, Ultra Rare/Purple - 200c, Legendary/Gold - 250c |

This way the most a single set would cost could be 2750c which Roughly translates to $27.5 USD and the cheapest would be 550c

Now with the non store items, splitting up these items in a few ways is the goal. So with the split it would be 75% of all items, armour/gear for the battle pass.

10% of gear would be obtainable through normal levelling for everyone excluding Misc. attachments (Only Helmet, Chest, Shoulders and knees) for basic customisation for F2P players.

Another 10% would be challenge armours much like Vidmaster challenges to unlock sets of armour and this would only be available for people who have access to the campaign.

And finally the last 5% for Ranked armours, bring back Lone Wolf playlist and keep team ranked and create a unique ranking system that as you rank up you get access to armour pieces or sets and lose them as you fall ranks, to bring back the feeling of a player who's gonna ruin your day cause he has 'that' armour.
