I can’t imagine having to step into a machine to put that gear on and off again repeatedly. He didn’t like to be separated from his armor,” it reads.Īt the end of Halo 4, we see Master Chief removing his armor, and that definitely looks like a process - signifying that armor got more complex. He does! In Halo: The Flood, a novel that takes place within Halo: Combat Evolved, there’s a section where Master Chief described his two-minute hot shower as “very good.” He wears, essentially, sweats when he’s in his room, and immediately grabs for his armor when asked to meet his boss. Of course, this isn’t to say that Master Chief doesn’t shower when he can.

During cryosleep, he wore his suit for four years straight! And that’s sort of a hygiene problem, considering that Master Chief has been wearing the same suit for years - he upgraded from the Mjolnir Mark V to the Mjolnir Mark VI between Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, and he’s been wearing that shit since. What does Master Chief wear in his downtime? Does he have downtime? All evidence points to no on that front, which means he’s probably often wearing his suit.
