==Overview==
===Development history===
When evaluating different opportunities to improve MJOLNIR across an assortment of engagement types, German-based [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme|Mobile Armament Systems]] proposed two distinctive variants [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/CQC variant|CQC]] and CQB using data gathered from the UNSC's [[Battle of Jericho VII|campaign]] on [[Jericho VII]] in [[2535]].<ref name="EVG"/><ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 1'' (2001 and definitive editions); ''page 15'' (2010 edition)</ref> Both variants were developed with one focus, that is to further improve the survivability in close quarter engagements.<ref name="EVG"/> Field-tested at the Special Warfare Center in [[Wikipedia:Essen|Essen]], [[Unified German Republic|Deutschland]], and integrating feedback gathered from SWC [[Seongnam]], [[Wikipedia:Korea|Korea]], the CQB was used successfully throughout 2552 and its advances were eventually incorporated into the Mark VI series.<ref name="EVG"/><ref name="bnet"/>

===Design===
Launched as part of the Mark V generation of MJOLNIR,<ref name="EVG"/> the CQB variant specializes in the dispersal of kinetic energy, by looking at alternate methods to disperse the kinetic energy versus momentum transferred by a Spartan during combat.<ref name="bnet"/><ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''armor description''</ref> In addition the CQB's armor components are designed to optimize joint mobility in close quarters, coupled with integrated protection plating the CQB variant improves combat survivability in MOUT conditions.<ref name="EVG"/><ref name="bnet"/>

The CQB helmet offers several unique advantages, the first is its improved field of view thanks to its oval T shaped visor and the second is its close quarters centered software-sensor integration. Although the CQB helmet surpasses the CQC in overall software-sensor integration the variant's ability to allow ad hoc modifications is limited as such modular upgrades are limited.<ref name="EVG2">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''' ''page 40''</ref>

==In-game information==
===Helmet===
'''Unlock''' (''Halo: Reach''): Waypoint Career Milestone 20 and [[Folks Need Heroes...]] achievement.<br />
'''Unlock''' (''Halo 3''): Starter.

The CQB helmet features a roughly oval "T" shaped visor with two large cheek guards. The top of the helmet is reinforced by a black alloy that forms a protective brace on top. Two upgrades are available for the helmet, the first adds a Hardened Uplink/Remote Sensor Package on the left side with a Command Network Module-Improved on the right side HU/RS/CNM-I, and the second adds an Up-Armor plate with a Hardened Uplink Module on the left side (UA/HUL). 

===Shoulder pauldron===
'''Unlock''': Starter.

The shoulder pauldrons are worn significantly lower than those of the standard Mark VI armor. They consist of a rectangular, slightly curved metal plate that is attached approximately where the deltoids, biceps brachii, and brachialis muscles converge. In actual combat, this would greatly improve the ease at which a SPARTAN-II moves the arms for close quarters combat, but increase the shoulder and upper arm's exposure to damage.

===Chest===
'''Unlock''': Starter.

Like in most other MJOLNIR variants, the chest plate seems to be a plate of alloy attached to the already existing Mark VI armor underneath. It consists of an additional set of four plates fused together in the body, and a tubular object at the bottom part of the chest plate which could either be a handle or some sort of canister due to its shape. There is an unusable [[Combat knife]] on the plate as well in a built-in sheath. In early development, the outer part of the chest piece was part of the secondary color group. Why this was changed is unknown.

==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of MJOLNIR CQB}}
*According to a survey taken by Bungie, the CQB chest is one of the most used Spartan chest plates on Xbox Live.{{Citation needed}}
*In the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' episode ''[[Homecoming]]'', [[Daisy-023]] is seen wearing what appears to be this variant of MJOLNIR armor during the [[Harvest Campaign]]. However, as the predecessor to the CQB did not enter service until [[2548]] this is not possible. The armor worn by ''Daisy-023'' in ''Homecoming'' is actually an artistic license that enabled the studio to employ visual variety, while containing a minor element of canon; the color of the armor, which is meant to be an element of camouflage for the reddish desert environment she was operating in.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Homecoming]]'' "Director's Commentary"</ref>
*The CQB helmet very closely resembles the main character from the videogame ''Timeshift'''s helmet. Whether this resemblance was intentional by Bungie, Saber Interactive or neither is unknown.
*The [[Mark IV]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV(G)|Grenadier]] shoulder pieces bear a striking resemblance to the CQB shoulders from Halo 3.
