'''DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir''' is a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] variant designed by the [[Materials Group]].{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFI63}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
The DECIMATOR is the closest GEN2 armor variant to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|MJOLNIR Mark VII]],{{Ref/Site|Id=FiftyCaliber|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-fifty-caliber|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Fifty Caliber|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}} and features a versatile [[energy shielding]] system that can be partially reshaped and sculpted.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFI63}} Like the Mark VII suit worn by [[Naomi-010]], DECIMATOR's physical architecture closely resembles [[B-class Mjolnir|MJOLNIR Mark V <nowiki>[B]</nowiki>]].

===Development history===
The DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir is an attempt by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Materials Group]] to re-engineer major improvements of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mjolnir Mark VII]] prototypes into the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|second generation]] of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. The most successful of these efforts is the DECIMATOR armor's sophisticated energy shielding system.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFI63}} Elements from DECIMATOR would later go on to be used in [[Project KEYSTONE]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}

===Usage===
DECIMATOR is mostly unknown outside the [[Spartan Operations|Spartan branch]],{{Ref/Site|Id=req begins|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-reqlamation-begins|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Reqlamation Begins|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}} with even few [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]] or [[UNICOM]] commanders privy to the full details of the armor's development history.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFI63}}

==In-game Information==
===''Halo 5: Guardians''===
