'''FOTUS-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] manufactured by [[343 Industries (manufacturer)|343 Industries]].<ref name="Halo 4">'''[[Halo 4]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref> 

==Overview==
===Specifications===
The helmet has a Torque-node component used to distract nearby predators, the base of the node detects levels of gravity-trough scaturiency. The helmet also features extended awareness conduits (ALK-03) which heightens mobility around senior operatives and moving-equipment personnel. The visor has lodged-tracking component 793-VF for improved survivability and maintenance. The chest has 90-RZ java-fuel monitoring software which evaluates current sustainability levels.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Note|Id=Fotus|Fotus throughout this source continues the joke of "acquiring coffee." Therefore, this is not a reliable source. However, as the only source available it should be taken as canon until a more official source gives the Armor its information.}}

The armor is built also using the finest locally-sourced materials and loose Forerunner technology,{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref> with some materials coming from [[Requiem]].<ref name="Kit">'''[[Halo 4]]''' - ''Bonus content marketplace description''</ref>

===Development history===
Fotus was created by [[343 Industries (manufacturer)|343 Industries]], by merging loose Forerunner technology and base Mjolnir architecture. It was originally forged at the RTC Facility before being transported to the Willows Complex for durability and survivability testing. At a later point it was tested at [[434 Combat Readiness Lab]] where it was tested extensively in Kirkland's overcast and frigid nine-month winter season.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}

Before full production of the armor could start, engineers required that it meet COUGAR-class safety protocols in an effort to protect it against feral branches of wildlife. These protocols were met and Fotus armor sets were deployed.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}

The Fotus Torque-node component had proven to represent a breakthrough in replicating [[Forerunner]] "[[baffler]]" sensor-distortion systems.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

===Skins===
A skin of this armor was part of the [[Forerunner Hybrid Kit]], which is a group of equipment using classified Forerunner technology from [[Requiem]], it was developed for highly experienced [[Spartan-IV]] by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].{{Ref/Reuse|Kit}}

===Usage===
After being deployed, Fotus was often used to acquire coffee at a variety of lightly secured sites, during the Kirkland's long seasons of wet, freezing cold weather.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}

Fotus armor has proven invaluable in Seattle's corporate shadow-wars.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

==Trivia==
*In ''Halo 4'', the FOTUS armor is presented as a metafictional joke. The acronym supposedly stands for "[[Fist of the Unicorn|Fist of the Unicorn(s)]]", which was referenced as a band made up of the crew members of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''. In the in-game description, the armor is said to have been developed by [[343 Industries]] tested in Kirkland, Washington, which is 343 Industries' hometown. The gauntlets are designed to defend against cougar attacks in the "Land of Kirk", while the FOTUS greaves earned high marks during coffee runs on rainy days. The prominent spike on top of the helmet is a reference to 343 Industries' running unicorn gag. While the FOTUS armor is canon, the armor's descriptions in ''Halo 4'' are very tongue-in-cheek and obviously not meant to be taken seriously.
*The "corporate shadow-wars" mentioned in ''Halo 5: Guardians''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> FOTUS chest may be a reference to the RPG game "Shadowrun", set in a futuristic Seattle run by mega-corporations.
*The FOTUS body armor is shared with the [[DEADEYE-class Mjolnir|Deadeye armor]] in ''Halo 5: Guardians''.
