343 Industries has spoiled us with tons of free expansions and DLC for Halo 5: Guardians, and just around the corner is yet another. It's called Memories of Reach, and as the name implies, it's about Reach and the sad fate of Noble Team (we won't say they were killed, because we all know Spartans never die - they're just missing in action).

The new stuff revealed is based on the characters Emile, Jorge, and Jun, but 343 Industries writes that all five Noble Team heroes will be represented with armour and helmets. Memories of Reach also has other content like the classic game mode Infection (think Halo with zombies), a new Arena map called Stasis, and other things.

More will be revealed shortly, and Memories of Reach is to be released sometime during this month, and everything is free of charge.

Below these pictures is a presentation of the Halo: Reach inspired REQs, straight from Halo Waypoint:

Indomitable (Jorge)<b>
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.

<b>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.
