| *'''Specializations''': During their career as a Spartan, players are offered Specializations though a variety of channels, allowing them to enlist in specific rank paths that come with armor sets, mods, emblems, and a variety of other components. Once a player has advanced through the standard fifty (50) rank levels allotted to Spartans, they will have access to a selection of Specializations. These paths are composed of ten rank levels each, with the player, once opting for the Specialization, must advance through in order to improve their rank and before being allowed to enlist in a separate Specialization. | | *'''Specializations''': During their career as a Spartan, players are offered Specializations though a variety of channels, allowing them them to enlist in specific rank paths that come with armor sets, mods, emblems, and a variety of other components.

| Classical light frigate design, the UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'' is the most renowned for its service on the frontlines in defense of Earth and its pursuit of Covenant forces through the Forerunner portal at Voi. There the ''Dawn'' fought alongside a renegade Sangheili fleet and defeated the Covenant, ultimately bringing an end to the war. Unfortunately, upon its return to Earth, the ship was rent in two while passing through a collapsing slipspace portal, sending the fore of the vessel back to Earth, while the aft section, containing the Master Chief and Cortana, absently floated in uncharted spece for years. | | Classical light frigate design, the UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'' is the most renowned for its service on the frontlines in defense of Earth and its pursuit of Covenant forces through the Forerunner portal at Voi.

Despite being lightly armored, this role is equipped with personal energy shields which provide resilient yet versatile cover whenever needed. Storm Jackals, as indicated by their name, are generally deployed in 'storm' or assault formations alongside other troops, though they can be splintered off into groups for other specialized roles. | | Easily the most common among the current Kig-Yar population, Storm Jackals represent the tip of the spear of the Covenant military body.

| The Jackal Ranger is yet another component of the Covenant's impressive extra-vehicular activity combat arm, used within infantry-based engagements in space and, to a lesser extent, within environments which require high mobility across vertical terrain. Jackal Rangers are sealed inside heavily armored EVA-enabled suits and their armaments can vary based on operation, though they generally use marksmen weapons such as the Covenant Carbine and are comprehensively trained in mid-range to long-range combat. | | The Jackel Ranger is yet another component of the Covenant's impressive extra-vehicular activity combat arm, used within infantry-based engagements in space and, to a lesser extent, within environments which require high mobility across vertical terrain.

| In the centuries-old tradition of Covenant military, the role of Jackal Sniper is one that is viewed critical during most groundside engagements. Genetically, Kig-Yar are already born with innate abilities that benefit scouts and snipers. Nevertheless, this class is still outfitted with moderate armor and an ocular enhancement helmet which is smart-linked to their marksmen weapon of choice. The vision optimization employed here allows them to sight and target enemies at extreme distances with either the Beam Rifle or Covenant Carbine. | | In the centuries-old tradition of Covenant military, the role of Jackel Sniper is one that is viewed critical during most groundside engagements.

Utilizing impressive armor which showcases their station, intimidates enemies and provides excellent protection, these troopers are typically deployed with Needlers and personal energy shields, allowing them to provide substantial opposition for any foes who encounter them. The combination of speed, agility, resistance, and firepower make the Jackal Heavy class a force to be reckoned with. | | Generally operating in a support role amongst Kig-Yar trackers and scouts, the Jackal Heavy class is the most experienced and skilled of their species.

The Elite Ranger role operates similar to that of the Elite Storm, despite requiring the use of extra-vehicular activity equipment, marginally heavier armor and gravity-mitigating thruster packs. The vast majority of military ops deploying Elite Rangers are EVA-only engagements, however some Ranger squads are deployed to terrestrial sites where their thruster packs provide a unique advantage against their enemies. | | Optimized to engage in combat operations within exotic environments such as space. radioactive sites and other hazardous locations, Elite Rangers have been employed by the Covenant since its very inception.

| </gallery> | | </gallery> |
| | | ===Tactical Packages=== |
| *'''Ammo upgrade''': THE AMMO UPGRADE OVERRIDES DEFAULT MJOLNIR SAFETY AND CAPACITY PROTOCOLS ALLOWING SPARTANS TO EXCEED SUGGESTED AMMUNITION LOADS IN THE FIELD. THIS UPGRADE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR CLOSE-QUARTERS ENGAGEMENT ROLES AND ANY ENCOUNTERS THAT REQUIRE EXCESSIVE AMMUNITION EXPENDITURES.
| |
| | |
| *'''Awareness upgrade''': FACILITATING RELATIVELY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS IN AN ARMOR SYSTEM’S HUD-DISTRIBUTED DISPLAY MECHANICS, THE AWARENESS UPGRADE INTEGRATES THE DEFAULT MOTION SENSOR INTO ALL KNOWN SCOPED WEAPON SMART-LINKS, BOTH NATIVE AND EXOTIC. SPARTANS ENGAGING IN LONG-RANGE COMBAT OR SNIPER OPERATIONS OFTEN RELY ON THIS UPGRADE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH BASIC MOTION-SENSOR DATA WHILE SIGHTING AN ENEMY FROM AFAR.
| |
| | |
| *'''Ordnance priority upgrade''': PERSONNEL LEVERAGING THE ORDNANCE PRIORITY UPGRADE IN THE FIELD HAVE ACCESS TO A CLASS-D4803 PRIORITY CHANNEL WITH UNSC INFINITY, THANKS TO A SOFTWARE PATCH WHICH ENABLES DIALING COUPLERS AND SATELLITE LINKAGE. SPARTANS OFTEN UTILIZE THIS UPGRADE DURING REQUISITION-DENSE, SUPPORT-HEAVY COMBAT, WHERE ORDNANCE DEPLOYMENT CAN BE SCARCE AND INTERMITTENT.
| |
| | |
| *'''Explosives upgrade''': THE ENERGY PLACEMENT DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS MANIPULATED BY THE EXPLOSIVES UPGRADE ALLOW ARMOR SOFTWARE TO AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER CONCUSSIVE ENERGY FROM EXPLOSIONS ENCOUNTERED DURING COMBAT. WHEN USED WITHIN THE CONTEXT MJOLNIR GEN2, THIS UPGRADE PASSIVELY DISPERSES RECEIVING ENERGY, DECREASING DAMAGE FOR THE USER WHILE INCREASING DAMAGE FOR THE TARGETS.
| |
| | |
| *'''Sensor upgrade''': ALTHOUGH IT VIOLATES GENERAL UNSC RELAY TRANSMISSION REGULATIONS, THE SENSOR UPGRADE INCREASES BOTH THE RANGE AND SENSITIVITY OF THE STANDARD MOTION SENSOR. AS IT IS MOST FREQUENTLY UTILIZED BY STEALTH OPERATIVES AND INFILTRATION SPECIALISTS, THIS UPGRADE PROVIDES HEIGHTENED LOCATIONAL INTEL OF ALL NEARBY ENEMIES.
| |
| | |
| *'''Stealth upgrade''': WHILE THE SOFTWARE CHANGES ARE LARGELY NOMINAL, THE STEALTH UPGRADE ALLOWS USERS TO MOVE SILENTLY DURING COMBAT, LOWERS THEIR VISIBILITY PROFILE ON CERTAIN VISR ENHANCEMENTS (LIKE ‘PROMETHEAN VISION’), AND INCREASING THEIR ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY KILL ENEMIES FROM BEHIND.
| |
| | |
| *'''Stability upgrade''': ALTERNATING MJOLNIR’S DEFAULT KINETIC DAMPENERS, THE STABILITY UPGRADE INCREASES A USER’S AIMING STABILITY WHILE THEY ARE TAKING INCOMING FIRE. THIS UPGRADE IS FAVORED FOR SPARTANS WHO PARTICIPATE IN LATERAL COMBAT MANEUVERS THROUGH ENVIRONMENTS WHICH ARE PARTICULARLY DENSE WITH WEAPON FIRE.
| |
| | |
| *'''Gunner upgrade''': SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS TO MJOLNIR’S AUTOMATED WEAPON COMMUNICATION NODES ALLOW THE GUNNER UPGRADE TO IMPROVE A VARIETY OF ELEMENTS WHICH FAVOR HEAVY WEAPON SPECIALISTS, SUCH AS INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF TIME A MOUNTED WEAPON TAKES TO OVERHEAT DURING SUSTAINED FIRE OR THE IMPROVING THE GENERAL SPEED AND MOBILITY OF A SPARTAN CARRYING A DETACHED TURRET.
| |
| | |
| *'''Nemesis upgrade''': WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE WAR GAMES SIMULATION, THE NEMESIS UPGRADE IS A BALANCE-MITIGATION MODULE WHICH OFFSETS OTHER PACKAGES AND UPGRADES BY ALLOWING PERSONNEL TO HONE-IN ON THE LAST ENEMY WHO KILLED THEM. WHILE THIS IS NOT A PRACTICAL SOFTWARE UPGRADE FOR FIELD-USE, THE TENSION IT PRODUCES DURING SIMULATED COMBAT DEMANDS TACTICAL AWARENESS AMONG TARGETED PARTICIPANTS.
| |
| | |
| *'''Drop recon upgrade''': THROUGH SUBORBITAL, DRONE-LINKED MONITORING SYSTEMS EMBEDDED IN A SPARTAN’S MJOLNIR SUPPORT SUITE, THE DROP RECON UPGRADE ALLOWS USERS TO KNOW THE TIME AND PLACE OF ORDNANCE DEPLOYMENTS PRIOR TO THE DROPS ACTUALLY OCCURRING. THIS INTEL HAS PROVEN INCREDIBLY VALUABLE IN THE FIELD, ALLOWING OPERATIVES TO GET THE JUMP ON INCOMING FIREPOWER.

| *'''Shielding package''': THROUGH A MODIFYING BYPASS OF STANDARD PERFORMANCE REGULATORS, THE SHIELDING PACKAGE REINFORCES PERSONAL ENERGY-SHIELD EMITTERS, RESULTING IN A SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER SHIELD-RECHARGE RATE. AFTER TAKING DAMAGE, SPARTANS WILL NOTICE THEIR SHIELDS RECHARGING AT A QUICKER SPEED THAN OTHERS WHO HAVE NOT OPTED FOR THIS PACKAGE IN THEIR LOADOUT.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Firepower package''': BY ALTERNATING REDUNDANT MAGNETIC STREAMS AT THE REAR OF A SPARTAN’S ARMOR, THE FIREPOWER PACKAGE OVERRIDES REGULATED LOADOUT LIMITATIONS, ALLOWING USERS TO CARRY TWO PRIMARY WEAPONS SIMULTANEOUSLY. FOR SPARTANS WHO PREFER HEAVIER OR LONGER-RANGED FIREPOWER OVER CLOSE-RANGE VERSATILITY AND SPEED, THIS PACKAGE IS TYPICALLY CONSIDERED IMPERATIVE.
| |
|
| |
| *'''AA efficiency package''': BY DISABLING SHORTWAVE SYSTEM REGULATORS, THE AA EFFICIENCY PACKAGE GENERATES MORE POWER TO RECHARGE ARMOR ABILITIES AT A FASTER RATE THAN NORMAL. INTERESTINGLY, SPARTANS INVOLVED IN ASYMMETRIC ENGAGEMENT ROLES FAVOR THIS PACKAGE AS AN AD HOC COMBAT MODIFIER TO GIVE THEM THE ADVANTAGE IN THE FIELD, EVEN IF IT’S ONLY SHORT TERM.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Grenadier package''': RESTRUCTURING THE STANDARD MAGNETIC HARDPOINTS ON THE MJOLNIR GEN2 SYSTEM, THE GRENADIER PACKAGE INCREASES TOTAL GRENADE CAPACITY FOR ALL PERSONNEL. PER COMPATIBILITY REGULATIONS, THIS PACKAGE EXTENDS TO BOTH DOMESTIC AND EXOTIC GRENADES, INCLUDING THOSE USED BY COVENANT AND FORERUNNER COMBATANTS.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Resupply package''': THROUGH A SOFTWARE PATCH TO MJOLNIR’S MAGNETIC HARDPOINT CONFIGURATION, THE RESUPPLY PACKAGE ALLOWS USERS TO RETRIEVE GRENADES FROM THE ARMOR OF FALLEN SOLDIERS. THIS PARTICULAR PACKAGE IS WIDELY USED BY POST-COMBAT RECON TEAMS AND EQUIPMENT RECOVERY PERSONNEL DEPLOYED TO ENEMY-HELD LOCATIONS, WHERE THE SECURING OF MATERIEL FROM BOTH ALLIES AND FOES IS NOT A LUXURY BUT A NECESSITY.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Mobility package''': WITHIN MJOLNIR GEN2 ARCHITECTURE, MUSCLE CONTROL ACTUATORS ALLOW SPARTANS THE FREEDOM OF HIGH-INTENSITY MOBILITY WITHOUT SEVERELY DAMAGING THEIR BODIES IN THE PROCESS. HOWEVER, SPARTANS CAN USE THE MOBILITY PACKAGE AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION TO MODIFY AND BYPASS THESE CONTROLS, GAINING UNPRECEDENTED SPRINTING STAMINA.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Requisition package''': WHEN IT COMES TO THE ORDNANCE VERSATILITY IN COMBAT, THE REQUISITION PACKAGE IS INCREDIBLY USEFUL. BY INSTALLING THIS HARDLINE CHANNEL SYSTEM, A USER CAN REQUEST ALTERNATE SELECTIONS OF WEAPONS OR TOOLS DURING ORDNANCE DROPS, OFFERING SUBSTANTIALLY MORE CHOICES ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
