By October [[2558]], the Mark VII was used as the testbed for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)]], but it remained uncertain if manufacturers would adopt the standards and cost accounting by the [[Unified Earth Government]].{{Ref/Book|Id=HOSFM|Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual|Page=179}} Eventually, the efforts of the Mark VII and DECIMATOR programs alongside similar projects within the [[Materials Group]] would dovetail, resulting in the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3]] Mark VII variant. Design of this armor was selected by Dr. Halsey from Materials Group's [[Project KEYSTONE|KEYSTONE development program]]. This suit is designed to outfit the latest Spartan contingents with the very best in cutting-edge warfighting technology.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF108|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/despite-distance|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Despite Distance}} | By October [[2558]], the Mark VII was used as the testbed for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)]], but it remained uncertain if manufacturers would adopt the standards and cost accounting by the [[Unified Earth Government]].{{Ref/Book|Id=HOSFM|Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual|Page=179}} Eventually, the efforts of the Mark VII and DECIMATOR programs alongside similar projects within the [[Materials Group]] would dovetail, resulting in the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3]] Mark VII variant.

This armor was worn by Spartan [[Hudson Griffin]], a member of [[Fireteam Taurus]], during the events of the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] | This armor was worn by Spartan [[Hudson Griffin]], a member of [[Fireteam Taurus]], during the events of the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]]. It was stripped from Griffin while he was in captivity at [[Chak 'Lok]]'s [[The Tower (Installation 07)|Tower]]. Chak 'Lok subsequently used the armor's [[distress beacon]] to lure [[John-117]] into a trap, but he was killed by the Master Chief who took the [[Threat Sensor]] from Griffin's armor and incorporated it into his own GEN3 Mark VI armor.{{Ref/Level|Id=tower|HINF|The Tower}} Spartan [[Bonita Stone]] used Mark VII armor as well, employing the [[TRAILBLAZER-class Mjolnir|Trailblazer]] helmet, the [[UA attachments|UA/Agathius]] shoulder pads, and UA/Type SA knee pads. She carried an enhanced energy shielding module, which was inherited by John-117 when he found her body over a month after Stone's death.{{Ref/Level|Id=foundation|HINF|Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation}} | ||
During the same battle, Spartan [[Tomas Horvath]] wore GEN3 Mark VII armor equipped with the [[ANUBIS-class Mjolnir|Anubis]] helmet, [[UA attachments#Shoulders 2|UA/Castus]] shoulder pads, and [[UA attachments#Knee pad|UA/Type SA]] knee pads.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cover Art|HTRP|cover art}} Spartan [[Nina Kovan]] used GEN3 Mark VII armor employing the [[STORMFALL-class Mjolnir|Stormfall]] helmet, the [[UA attachments|UA/Faunus]] shoulder pads, and UA/Type SA knee pads.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Cover Art}} Both suits of armor suffered heavy damage over the course of the months-long battle, during which time neither Spartan had access to the tools required to make proper repairs to them. Horvath and Kovan's armor suffered various system failures due to accumulated battle damage, although their continued functionality acted as a testament to how durable the GEN3 Mark VII armor was.{{Ref/Novel|RP}} | During the same battle, Spartan [[Tomas Horvath]] wore GEN3 Mark VII armor equipped with the [[ANUBIS-class Mjolnir|Anubis]] helmet, [[UA attachments#Shoulders 2|UA/Castus]] shoulder pads, and [[UA attachments#Knee pad|UA/Type SA]] knee pads.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cover Art|HTRP|cover art}} Spartan [[Nina Kovan]] used GEN3 Mark VII armor employing the [[STORMFALL-class Mjolnir|Stormfall]] helmet, the [[UA attachments|UA/Faunus]] shoulder pads, and UA/Type SA knee pads.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Cover Art}} Both suits of armor suffered heavy damage over the course of the months-long battle, during which time neither Spartan had access to the tools required to make proper repairs to them. Horvath and Kovan's armor suffered various system failures due to accumulated battle damage, although their continued functionality acted as a testament to how durable the GEN3 Mark VII armor was.{{Ref/Novel|RP}} In particular, Horvath lost his motion tracker, armor camouflage and long-range communications early on.{{Ref/Novel|RP|4}} After being severely wounded by the impalement of an alloy shard between his intestines and spleen, Horvath's biomonitors kept him in a semicomatose state while the armor's medical systems regenerated his torn insides, and the armor kept him alive until he could hunt for food using its emergency high-calorie nutrient supplements.{{Ref/Novel|Id=RP22|RP|22}} Horvath's damaged armor, combined with his augmentations, kept the Spartan from dying of exposure while he was comatose for a day on a mountain side. However, the state of his failing armor at this point caused Horvath to consider abandoning it before it completely shut down and trapped him, an idea that Horvath dismissed each time.{{Ref/Novel|Id=RP39|RP|39}} With the help of [[Erik Bender]] and [[Robin Dimik]], Kovan effected some repairs on her own armor by removing and reconfiguring some of the plating to compensate for the damage, but the sheer weight of each piece and the complexity of the process was a severe limitation without the right equipment.{{Ref/Novel|RP|38}} | ||
