ODST armor: Difference between revisions

The ODST helmet, which was originally designed for use with MJOLNIR,<ref name="Armory"/> is made of titanium, coated with a heat resistance material to help disperse heat - the inside is lined with black padding to provide comfort when the user is wearing it. The helmet's faceplate is made of a strong, glass-like material with the ability to polarize. When polarized, the helmet's faceplate has a silver blue color to it, and obscures the wearer's face completely.

The helmet provides excellent protection against small arms fire and small explosive attacks. The helmet is also essential in providing an ODST the ability to perform EVA and also provides a Heads Up Display, giving the wearer basic information including a targeting reticule, weapon information, ammo capacity, and basic health readout. The newest version of the helmet integrates with the user's standard [[Neural Interface]] to provide more tactical data to the HUD. Helmet-integrated neural interfaces is another piece of technology that has seen widespread adoption from Project MJOLNIR. Along with this state-of-the-art equipment, the helmet is also equipped with its own thermal imaging and motion sensors.<ref name="encyclopedia">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''Chapter 2: page 57''</ref> The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant]], which was developed as an improvement of the ODST helmet, was introduced in [[2535]].
