{{Article Quote|Standard default armor configuration for all recruited Spartan personnel.}}

'''RECRUIT-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]] manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] and [[Materials Group]]. It is the standard armor for all newly recruited [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] personnel.<ref name="H4"/><ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref>

The reactor is covered by an "Class-A hardened reactor case". The shoulders are called "Common solid-plate pauldrons". There is a power conduit on the cuisse. The feet have segmented plates to increase mobility. The armor is designed to cope with the strain and duress experienced by newly augmented Spartan-IV.<ref name="H4EVG"/>

The standard color scheme for Recruit-equipped Spartans aboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} consists of orange-yellow stripes at various points, most notably along the center of the helmet, though the suit remains largely unpainted.<ref group="note">All SPARTAN-IV NPCs encountered in ''Halo 4'' (both in the campaign and in ''Spartan Ops'') wear Recruit armor with the aforementioned color scheme. [[Jared Miller]] of the ship's Spartan Command also wears Recruit armor with this color scheme in ''Spartan Ops''<nowiki>'</nowiki> prerendered "talking head" vignettes.</ref> Whether this color scheme is common among all recently inducted SPARTAN-IVs is unknown.

==Development History==

Majority of the Recruit variant was manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] and was tested at [[WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka]]. Though both the forearms and greaves were manufactured by the [[Materials Group]], where the forearms were tested at [[FFG-045]]'s combat lab, and the greaves were manufactured on [[Chi Ceti IV]]. <ref name="H4"/> Testing for the GEN2 version was swiftly done, as by [[2553#January|January 2553]] a copy of the armor was onboard the {{UNSCship|Infinity}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''' ''- [[Halo: Initiation Issue 2|Issue 2]]''</ref>

Decades of combat experience with Mjolnir suits informed the design and electronics hardware architecture of the RECRUIT helmet.<ref name="H5G"/>

==Skins==

The Prime skin is part of the [[Infinity Actual Kit]] recommended for Spartan-IV first contact and asymmetrical operations.<ref>'''[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]''' - ''Bonus content marketplace description''</ref>

==Usage==

Newly inducted Spartans are required to use the Recruit-class armor for an individually determined time frame before requisitioning custom kits.<ref name="H4"/> The armor's performance consistency raises eyebrows among the more experienced Spartans, however, and despite its popularity, many Spartan-IVs opt to diversify the armor with other variants.<ref name="H4EVG"/>

Spartans in the Recruit variant armor were sold as [[toy]]s. One child had painted his Recruit Spartan action figure to resemble the [[John-117|Master Chief]].<ref>'''[[A Hero Falls]]'''</ref>
