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}} | 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.

*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.
