His ship, I recall, does have shields so maybe for that. Not sure if he ever did it on himself though

I mean that Knights can use them, and Chief can use it as a powerup, so I think there is little reason to think the Didact doesn't just have it.

Yeah he should have them, but never used them. Because why would he?
The Storm Covenant were subservient to him. He easily took back control of the Knights. The only person that was actively trying to fight against him in person was Chief.
He easily incapacitated Chief in their first encounter, and would have done so in their second encounter were it not for Cortana's intervention.

Hmmm, I suppose so, but tbf, his armor does provide protection and he does have a helmet as well.
Don’t remember it having any personal energy shield, but it is possible he could install a energy shield emitter

I've always thought the Didact's ranting, and poor combat performance was a combination of plot, and the effects of the Logic Plague.
I will never forgive that idiot Brian Reed for what he did to not only The Didact, but Halo as a whole.

Maybe, but probably average for culinary skills.
Not the best, but not the worse either. Hell, he was confirmed to being a exceptional lucky individual/plot armor

I assume that every Spartan is capable of at least preparing food in the field, including foraging and hunting for it is needed.

If I am not mistaken, Spartan IV's can for sure do this.
Also dropped a new Halo calc where Chief lifts a blast door in Halo Infinite, it's a Class 100 feat.
Could be an outlier, but it is also in his newest and strongest suit.

Spartan IV: Eats Tree Bark
Spartan III: Eats Tree Log
Spartan II: Eats Tree Trunk
Sgt. Johnson: Eats a Rock! Which he promptly shares with the Spartans

The Prometheans have them so why wouldn't he be able ti use them. Also can't he straight up just ionize things by gesturing towards them? Pretty sure he did that to the wall Chief was hiding behind.

He did, probably some application of Constraint or Suppressor fields. It was the same effect as the Promethean weapons ionizing things, so I think what that scene showed us was pretty blatant no? I've thought about revisiting the barrier ionization feat, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Now that you mention it, the Gen 3 will get abilities on the MKVII which includes stuff like energy shield shaping and what not.

Dropping this for consideration.
Spartan core
The Spartan core is a piece of modular UNSC equipment that is used to install field enhancements on the GEN3 MJOLNIR armor, allowing Spartan operators to adapt to their environmental needs and mission specifications.

Me and @Arc7Kuroi did an all Legendary Campaign-thon throughout all the main Halo games (CE to Infinite) in the past and it was really fun. If anyone has a friend who has the games and hasn't done this before, I highly recommend it. I guarantee you'll enjoy your experience after it's all said and done.

I wonder if anyone will manage a deathless LASO run of all four games consecutively. That's probably impossible though.

It means we can factor those upgrade into Chief's Gen 3 key.

How are we gonna handle the Shield Core upgrades? That system maxed out is 60% more powerful than the base Energy Shields on the Mark VII.

We will have to factor that into his shield durability, based on whatever we've scaled it at.
Also, tackled some more Wraith mortar calcs here.

Another calc was accepted. The Scorpion Missile feat was accepted at 144 Megajoules, but once my Longsword missiles calc is evaluated, I could redo it using those values since Longswords do carry Scorpion missiles.

Ghostpierce is the bespoke fireblade employed as the signature weapon of the Banished Sangheili Blademaster Jega 'Rdomnai.
The idea of an Energy Sword Prosthetic is so ******* cool.

There were plans for a DLC expanded story for Halo Infinite so I heard to be released back in 2022, but it was canceled due to Infinite making disappointing sales.
But that's a common issue for Xbox in general, is the Game Pass. It's a cool feature in theory due to giving us a bunch of recent games via annual subscription; but the issue is that it's single handedly what's causing games to not sell well individually which is hurting various developers. It's stuff like that is what lead to companies like Tango getting shut down (RIP). Being too consumer friendly can cause the opposite issue in which employees aren't making enough money.
Also, there are a lot of rumors floating around that Xbox plans to go full multiplatform; it honestly should at this point given how well Pentiment and Grounded did on Nintendo Switch compared to Xbox, PC or Playstation.
