The MJOLNIR Mark V [G], also known as GUNGNIR, is a variant of the Mark V MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. Developed as a part of the GUNGNIR Program, the Mark V [G] variant consists of a helmet, shoulder pauldrons and knee guards.[1]
Characteristics
Helmet Characteristics
The GUNGNIR helmet is boxy and comes with more facial protection than any other helmet as it fully covers the front of the head and it replaces the usage of a visor with a small camera on the left that displays the outside to the user. The plating on the helmet takes the secondary armor color. It bears a white stripe running down the right side with the Norse symbol for Gungnir in the center.[1]
Two upgrades are available for the helmet, the first adds a Hardened Uplink/Remote Sensor Package on the left side (HU/RS), and the second adds a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Module with a Hardened Uplink/Remote Sensor Package on the right side (incorrectly not mentioned) (CBRN, should be CBRN/HU/RS). The CBRN attachment does not take on its usual gas mask appearance, instead it is the same as the CBRN that is standard on the EOD helmet.
Shoulder characteristics
The Supplemental Armor, Pauldron, MJOLNIR Mk. V [G] is curved and covers most of the shoulder and upper arm. It bears something of a resemblance to the shoulder of the Commando armor, but with sections removed.
Knee guard characteristics
- Price: 25,000 cR[1]
The GUNGNIR knee guards primarily protect the knee cap and also cover some parts surrounding it.
Trivia
- The GUNGNIR helmet has only one video camera "eye" on one side of the face; in Norse mythology, the god Odin also had one eye.
- Early concept art of Jun-A266 shows him wearing an early concept of the GUNGNIR helmet.
- Players of Halo:Reach have considered the GUNGNIR helmet as an "unknown helmet." This is a common mistake due to the helmet being less shown in gameplay unlike other helmet permutations.
