Although Halo Infinite's multiplayer launched an entire month ahead of schedule, players are still chipping away at the game's Battle Pass, which contains many cosmetic goodies that will spruce up your Spartan's appearance. Whether you're leveling up through traditional grinding or by faster methods, there will undoubtedly be something that catches your eye, making your time spent in the multiplayer feel worth it.
While there are loads of cosmetic items in Halo Infinite's Battle Pass, there are excellent helmets within it that harken back to the good ol' days and even some new ones that are "must-haves" for anyone barreling through the first season. If you're a newcomer or series veteran, there is almost a guarantee that you will fall in love with at least one of the helmets offered.
Updated May 14, 2022, by Seth Parmer: Halo Infinite's Second Season is finally here, bringing in another Battle Pass with tons of cosmetic goodies within for you to obtain. Fortunately, Season Two's Battle Pass has some fantastic helmets to unlock, allowing us to update this list to include them and touch up the previous mentions in the process!
15 Commando (Season 1)
Easily recognized by veterans as "Carter's Helmet," the Commando returns once more from Halo Reach and is just as powerful-looking in Infinite. While it looks similar to the GEN 1 HAZOP helmet, the Commando helmet looks sharp, modern, and more reinforced.
Additionally, adding attachments to the Commando helmet is an option that will make it look even better. Extensions range from a panel above the visor to an external light mounted on the helmet's right side. The Commando may not be the most stylish helmet, but it exudes confidence and strength, much like Carter himself, and can be had at tier level 15 in the Premium Battle Pass.
14 Grenadier (Season 1)
The Grenadier helmet returns to Halo Infinite, still sporting its stern look and high-defense build quality. Fans of the series will identify this as Jorge's helmet from Halo Reach, while newcomers may still admire its bold look, making support or tank players in other games feel at home.
While its look is a bit simplistic compared to the other members of the Noble Team, the Grenadier sets out to protect its wearer, making fashion take the backseat. This sturdy piece of metal is unlocked once you reach level 75 of the Premium Battle Pass.
13 Stribog (Season 2)
Rocking an EVA-adjacent look, the Stribog helmet in Halo Infinite's second Battle Pass is a reminder that more visor is almost always a good look. Even with the helmet giving the opposition a clearer and larger target to aim for, we will take that risk in the name of fashion.
Furthermore, the Stribog is an early unlock in the new Battle Pass, becoming available in the Premium Tier at level 20. There are most certainly better helmets in the Pass, which we will touch on a bit later, but the Stribog is such a strong-looking helmet to get relatively soon.
12 Mark VII (Season 1)
The Mark VII is designed for the newest generation of Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor and was designed with direct input from Dr. Halsey herself. The helmet sports a sharp look, resembling a pilot's helmet in more ways than not.
The Mark VII helmet also has many attachment slots on it, allowing a wide range of options for personalization. But do not expect to unlock this early in your online career as it is the last obtainable helmet in the Premium Tier at level 96.
11 EVA [C] (Season 1)
![The EVA [C] Helmet in Halo Infinite](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Halo-Infinite-EVA-C-Helmet.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=740&dpr=1.5)
Although the standard variant of the EVA helmet is present in Halo Infinite's Battle Pass, the EVA [C] is where it's at, belonging to Emil of Noble Team, a fan-favorite character from Halo Reach. Although even if fans didn't love Emil as a character, we feel the EVA [C] would have still been praised by many.
On its own, the EVA's unique, mostly visor design is captivating, but the skull etched into the [C] variant is what makes it that much cooler and is one of the many reasons fans love it so much. However, the unfortunate news is this helmet is one of the last ones you unlock in the Premium Battle Pass at level 90.
10 Air Assault (Season 1)
Belonging to Noble Team's Kat, the Air Assault helmet became vastly popular amongst fans in Reach due to its unique design and attachment to one of Fall of Reach's best characters. Assigned to Army airborne squads, the Air Assault's visor takes up most of the helmet's real estate but maintains its smooth design.
The Air Assault helmet has the option to add attachments to it but is one of the few helmets in the game that looks perfectly fine with its default look. However, the unfortunate thing is that this helmet will not be available to you until you reach level 55 of the Premium Battle Pass.
9 Linebreaker (Season 2)
Somewhere between a football helmet and a Clone Trooper helmet is where you would likely find Halo Infinite's Linebreaker, which is available in the Free Tier of Season 2's Battle Pass at level 71. The Linebreaker helmet looks sturdy, intimidating, and powerful, checking all the boxes for a great armor piece.
If you're a fan of putting together bulky armor sets, then the Linebreaker will surely impress, even without including the handful of attachments present for the helmet. This helmet does so much without being overly flashy or silly. It's just a mean, slick-looking helmet that feels like it belongs.
8 Trailblazer (Season 1)
Built for the new generation of Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor, the Trailblazer looks to be the successor to the famous Recon armor, building off its robust features and specialties. While the Trailblazer lacks some aspects of the Recon's beloved smooth, ninja design philosophy, it still looks pretty good, all things considered.
The Trailblazer's exaggerated edges can be hit or miss for some people, but when paired with attachments, its design can shine depending on what you toss on it. However, if you like its design, you will be waiting a bit before receiving it as it unlocks at level 81 in the Premium Battle Pass.
7 ODST (Season 1)
Made initially for the Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor, the UNSC Special Forces, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, adopted the battle dress uniform, eventually becoming the legendary ODST armor found in most of the Halo titles. The ODST helmet is one of the franchise's most recognizable armor pieces, primarily due to Halo 3: ODST's positive reception.
The ODST helmet possesses one of the best-looking visors in the series, with clean, sharp angles, and pairs well with a blue-ish tinted color. The ODST helmet supports five attachments and is unlocked once you reach tier 65 of the Premium Battle Pass.
6 Brawler (Season 2)
The Brawler helmet is obtained in the Free Tier of the Second Season's Battle Pass at level two, which kicks things off with a bang. Not only is this armor piece free, but you get it so early on that you will accumulate nifty attachments the more you level the Pass up, allowing you to transform it into an even slicker-looking helmet.
What makes the Brawler a stick-out helmet in Season 2 is its apparent goal to look like a classic Halo helmet while also bringing in a fresh, modern look that isn't too overpowering. While it doesn't look like something that would be in the original trilogy, it definitely looks like it would have a place in Halo Reach's long list of legendary armors.
5 Scout (Season 1)
The Scout helmet found in Halo Infinite's Battle Pass is the first generation variant, famously belonging to Noble Team's sniper, Jun. Made with advanced materials, the Scout helmet possesses many stealth properties, with a sleek design to match. Furthermore, the Scout helmet unlocks at level 35 of the Premium Battle Pass.
Furthermore, the Scout project was researched and developed alongside the Recon project, so they share a similar design but contain enough differences to be easily distinguishable from one another. The Scout helmet also supports many of the game's attachments, allowing it to look even slicker out on the battlefield.
4 Artaius (Season 2)
The sleek, angled visor, noise-canceling earmuffs, and the obvious ODST inspiration make the Artaius one of the best original helmet designs seen in a modern Halo title in a long while. This isn't to say the others were terrible, just how much better the Artaius is than the vast majority of other helmets.
Unfortunately, this kind of craftsmanship doesn't come free or without effort. The Artaius helmet is unlocked via the Premium Tier of Season Two's Battle Pass and isn't available until level 80. So, be prepared to grind for quite a bit to obtain this beauty.
3 Recon (Season 1)
Speaking of Recon Armor, the famed Recon helmet returns in Halo Infinite as the GEN 1 Mark V variant, which pre-dates the one found in Halo 3 that you may have fond memories of if you're an old-timer. The Recon's sleek, ninja-like design will always be cool looking, no matter how many installments of Halo it shows up in.
Much like in Halo Reach, the Recon helmet in Infinite has access to a handful of attachments. But, honestly, the Recon helmet doesn't even need them. It remains one of Halo's best helmets, no matter its appearance. This classic helmet is obtainable when reaching Premium Battle Pass rank 45.
2 Akis II - GRD (Season 2)
Long ago, Bungie showcased the Akis helmet in promotional images for Halo Reach's second expansion pass, Defiant, but unfortunately removed it from the game due to time constraints. This led fans to believe that the helmet was part of an Easter Egg or challenge of some sort, but it was genuinely never available in the game until much later when 343 Industries added it into the Master Chief Collection.
Fast forward to now, where the Akis helmet makes another appearance but this time in Halo Infinite as the Akis II - GRD. This helmet is the second iteration of Reach's legendary "hidden" helmet and retains what made fans go on tireless searches to obtain the unobtainable in the first place. Additionally, some attachments bring the Akis II - GRD closer to what was found in the Defiant's promotional art, which is a tremendous and thoughtful nod. However, don't expect to get something so prestigious or mysterious as this for free, as it is part of Season Two's Premium Battle Pass and won't be obtainable until level 63.
1 Mark VI (Season 1)
The helmet of the man himself, the Master Chief, makes its way into Halo Infinite. The Mark VI present in the Battle Pass is the variant seen on the Chief in Halo 3 and is one of the most iconic helmets of all time and one of the best in the game.
In addition to its legendary status, the Mark VI helmet supports five different attachments. Although you can rock this helmet with no extensions and still make a statement, it's that good. Unfortunately, you will be waiting a while to obtain it as it's only available when reaching tier 84 of the Premium Battle Pass.
