'''ICARUS-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR [GEN2] armor]].{{Ref/Reuse|H5 Armory}}{{Ref/Site|Id=BH|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/bounty-hunters|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Bounty Hunters|D=09|M=07|Y=2021}}

==Overview==
===Design details=====
The helmet is designed around the practical needs and tactical challenges of dynamic, high-threat combat actuation within cluttered and complex aerospace kill boxes. The armor is laced with inertial compensation webbing so Spartans can survive the crushing combat acceleration of modern strikecraft.{{Ref/Reuse|H5 Armory}}

===Development history===
Icarus is one of the several armor system prototypes from [[Meyer e.V.]], tailored for hunter-killer operations in built-up areas, such as space habitats and arcologies. Icarus is also the latest in a series of cutting-edge Mjolnir suits created for Spartan aerospace pilots.{{Ref/Reuse|H5 Armory}}{{Ref/Reuse|BH}}

Icarus was first introduced as an [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' in the [[Monitor's Bounty]] update.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/monitor-s-bounty-preview|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Monitor's Bounty Preview|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}} The suit has no alternate skins.

Unlike other armour sets found in the game, Icarus's body armour was given two alternating descriptions - one in the reveal Canon Fodder article (found above) and one found in-game (featured below).

==Production notes==
During the development of ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the production of Icarus armor was outsourced to Berlin-based company Airborn Studios. Icarus is unique, as [[343 Industries]] granted Airborn Studios to produce both concept and modeling for Icarus, unlike other armor that Airborn have modelled for ''Halo 5'', where they were only permitted to model them. The armour was created by artists Johannes Figlhuber (concept), Boris Patschull, João Sapiro Josué (helmet), Josh Dina, Marco Leal, Aljona Bulgar, and Steffen Unger.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/A5KWV|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo 5 Multiplayer Armor Icarus|D=18|M=02|Y=2022}} Internally, the armour was known by the codename ''A104'' during development.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/004/940/387/large/airborn-studios-a104-lower-arm-01.jpg?1487351170|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo 5 Multiplayer Armor Icarus|Detail=Original filename <code>h5-a104-marmo.jpg</code>|D=18|M=02|Y=2022}}

The Icarus body armor was the only customization option that was banned from use in the [[Halo World Championship]] 2017 due to various audio and visual issues with said body armor piece; when the body armor is used a number of audio issues can occur;
*The stabilization jets make no noise when stabilizing mid-air
*The player's ground pound wind up is noticeably very quiet
*The player's secondary weapon is not shown slung onto a player's back.

However, using the helmet is still allowed.{{Ref/Site|Id=icarusban|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/icarus-armor-update|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Icarus Armor Update|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}}

==Trivia==
The armor is named after [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]], a character from Greek mythology.
