Because of these advancements, the design is more akin to a conventional suit of armor as opposed to a powered exoskeleton; the user moves the suit and in return the suit moves the user. This allows for a highly compact design when compared to other combat systems. The armor contains numerous features including an integrated computer system which continuously monitors weapons and biological functions, as well as a limited function motion sensor system. The suit also contains a built-in rebreather system that can provide air for up to 90 minutes.{{Ref/Reuse|FoR120}} The suit's helmet also features imaging and video recording, and thermal sensors among other features.

Though if the armor takes damage it is no longer vacuum-sealed, this can be rectified using armor patches which seal the holes and make the armor vacuum-sealed again. Mark IV MJOLNIR armor is compatible with the patches used by [[ODST]]s on their armor, making it easier to get extras in a combat situation. This was used twice by [[Blue Team]] during the Attack on Naraka to seal their armor when going into vacuum after the armor had sustained such damage that it was no longer vacuum-sealed. The lack of armor patching during the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]] had forced [[Samuel-034]] to remain behind on the ''[[Unrelenting]]'' to die, causing the Spartans to start carrying armor patches in case such a situation ever arose again.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref>
