BY RYAN MCCAFFREY343 Industries has revealed four special armor permutations for the
Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta (they'll also be unlocked for the final game in 2015 as well) that you unlock by earning Achievements in
Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Get a 360-degree view of them in the video above, and here are their descriptions and unlock details:
MARK VI [GEN1]

DESCRIPTION: Technically obsolete, the Mark VI [GEN1] Mjolnir armor maintains a legendary luster among Spartans and the general public.
HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Your Journey Begins” Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armor)
MARK VI [GEN1] SCARRED
Early high-res armor development. Materials not representative of final in-game model.
DESCRIPTION: The Mark VI was able to remain functional until all of its triply-redundant auto-repair and bypass nodes failed.
HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Cairo Stations” Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armor)
HELIOSKRILL
Early high-res armor development. Materials not representative of final in-game model.
DESCRIPTION: The HELIOSKRILL is a work of art crafted by a Sangheili prodigy inspired to test her skill against the best that humanity could muster.
HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Legend” Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armor)
NIGHTFALL
Early high-res armor development. Materials not representative of final in-game model.
DESCRIPTION: Spartans with Marine experience prefer NIGHTFALL armor when stationed on inhospitable worlds, due to its best-of-class life support.

Finally, 343 wanted everyone to know that what you see here is "early high-res armor development. Materials [are] not representative of final in-game model." In other words, they'll look appropriately battle-scarred, worn, and/or dirty when they're done.
