UA attachments

A Spartan equipped with various UA attachments: the ARMET visor attachment, a pair of Agathius shoulder pads, the M550D Halfplate chest piece, and the Type II-A1 Buckler wrist attachment.

UA, short for up-armored, is a series of supplemental armor attachments and accessories compatible with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor and battle dress uniforms worn by UNSC infantry.

Overview

Design details

The UA category encompasses various attachments that are compatible with the helmet, shoulders, chest, wrist and thigh components of the MJOLNIR Mark V and MJOLNIR [GEN3] armors. The UA series are typically armor reinforcements with different purposes depending on the modules. They can either come as a singular module or as a kit.

Usage

Many of the UA pieces are not exclusive to the MJOLNIR system, but are in use by regular UNSC Army or Marine troops as well. Some UA attachments are designed for specialized personnel, like Spartans tasked with breaching or members of Spartan containment teams.

Trivia

• The UA/Multi-Threat appeared in the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta as the ASSAULT/SCOUT, this version did not include a belt. Likewise the UA/Base Security [W] appeared as the MP/BASE SECURITY which also did not include a belt. The belt-less versions remained in the files of Halo: Reach, but went unused.
  • It was not until the release of Season 1: Noble in Halo: The Master Chief Collection that the belt-less versions returned.
