===Usage===
===Usage===
Despite being considered an exclusive armor set, many Spartans have adopted GUNGNIR regardless of their weapon loadouts due to its isolated video optics, Wyrd III sensory optimization, and enhanced cranial plating. This was especially useful when operating at or near Covenant manufacturing sites, as it protected against intense flare radiometric conditions.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} It was notably used by Spartan marksman [[Nina Kovan]] during the [[Requiem Campaign]] in [[2558]]. During [[Operation: VERTICAL UMBRAGE]] on February 14, Kovan used her GUNGNIR suit's Wyrd III optics to obtain visual intelligence on a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] base established on [[Requiem]] consisting of a [[Summit (building)|summit]] manufacturing aircraft.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Umbrage|Halo: Vertical Umbrage}}

The GUNGNIR Mark V knee guards return in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', available for the [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V (B)]] armor core. Despite being visible in promotional material before the launch of [[Season 01: Heroes of Reach]] the Mark V GUNGNIR shoulder pads have yet to become available. The [[TAS attachments|TAS/GUNGNIR MOD 6]] attachment is available for use on the [[STORMFALL-class Mjolnir|Stormfall]] helmet. [[Season 05: Reckoning]] added the Mark V GUNGNIR helmet and its TAS/GUNGNIR MOD 3 attachment.

*In [[List of references to Norse mythology in Halo|Norse mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Gungnir|Gungnir]] ("swaying one") is [[Wikipedia:Odin|Odin]]'s magical spear, which is an infallibly accurate weapon. The GUNGNIR helmet has only one video camera "eye" on one side of the face; in Norse mythology, Odin also had one eye. This is a theme of the Spartan armor systems as MJOLNIR is the name of Thor's hammer.

*The GUNGNIR helmet in ''Halo: Reach'' was originally designed by [[Isaac Hannaford]] for ''[[Halo: Chronicles]]'', a ''Halo'' game being developed in conjunction with [[Peter Jackson]] around 2008-2009. In the game, GUNGNIR was intended for use by corporate security forces, though ultimately went unused after the game's cancellation. As such, the design was reused in ''Reach'' for a Spartan helmet in the game's multiplayer component.{{Ref/Twitter|Isaac_Hannaford|1711962175613661379|Isaac Hannaford|Quote=I did not.
