AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir: Difference between revisions
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
(I've withdrawn my request to rename the article. Like the ODST helmet, the AA helmet was originally developed for MJOLNIR and was later adopted by non-SPARTAN forces.) |
(The Armory description doesn't say when the Airborne adopted the helmet. It merely says when the helmet was introduced.) |

- — Description of the Air Assault helmet.
The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant, or Air Assault helmet, is designed for use with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. It was originally developed as an improvement to the ODST helmet, which was also originally designed for MJOLNIR.[1] The Air Assault helmet was introduced in 2535 and was eventually adopted as the standard helmet of UNSC Army airborne units.[2] Such a helmet was worn by Catherine-B320 of Noble Team.
It is available as an armor permutation Halo: Reach at the cost of 15,000 credits.
Helmet characteristics
Price: 15,000 cR
The AA helmet somewhat resembles the CQB helmet except for a larger visor and the absence of the chin guard. It also resembles the helmet worn by ODSTs in Halo 2.[3]
Two upgrades are available for the helmet. The first upgrade, UA/CNM, adds an up-armor plate with a Command Network Module on the right side. The second upgrade, FC-I, adds an up-armor plate with a Command Network Module-Improved on the right side.
