The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant''', colloquially known as the '''Close Quarters Battle''' ('''CQB''') armor, is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] manufactured by [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]]. | The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant''', colloquially known as the '''Close Quarters Battle''' ('''CQB''') armor, is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] manufactured by [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]].<ref name="EVG"/><ref name="H3Shoulder"/><ref name="bnet"/><ref name="HR"/> | ||

The CQB variant specializes in the improvement of survivability in close quarters engagements, this was done in the dispersal of kinetic energy, by looking at alternate methods to disperse the kinetic energy versus momentum transferred by a Spartan during combat. In addition the CQB's armor components are designed to optimize joint mobility in close quarters, and have an improved field of view. | The CQB variant specializes in the improvement of survivability in close quarters engagements, this was done in the dispersal of kinetic energy, by looking at alternate methods to disperse the kinetic energy versus momentum transferred by a Spartan during combat.

Although CQB surpasses [[CQC-class Mjolnir|CQC]] in overall integration, the variant's ability to allow ''ad hoc'' modifications is limited in comparison.<ref name="EVG"/><ref name="EVGCQC">''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'', p. 40 (CQC Armor)</ref> | |||

When evaluating different opportunities to improve MJOLNIR across an assortment of engagement types, German-based [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]] proposed two distinctive variants CQC and CQB with one focus. Using data gathered from the UNSC's [[Battle of Jericho VII|campaign]] on [[Jericho VII]], that focus was to further improve the survivability in close quarter engagements. | When evaluating different opportunities to improve MJOLNIR across an assortment of engagement types, German-based [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]] proposed two distinctive variants CQC and CQB with one focus.
