SCANNER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] developed by the Materials Group.[1][3]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The helmet is designed to sync/dock with the LCX-20V1 SinoViet sight-augmentation module for extreme-range reconnaissance. It does not mitigate operability, and can be slid back into a passive mode above the user's parietal plate. The helmet also has a low-set, concave rebreather apparatus.[1]

The helmet also includes several sensor capabilities and user-adjustable settings that are not yet compatible with standard VISR hardware.[4]

Development history[edit]

It was manufactured by the Materials Group and tested at the Damascus Testing Facility. Over several years, Materials was balancing out the needs of personnel for search-and-rescue operations, appropriately fine-tuning individual components like the long-range sensors and large toolsets like armor-fixed rescue implements.[1] It was designed for the facilitation of search-and-rescue strike teams protecting ONI personnel, as well as critical government and military personnel from capture by Insurrectionist forces.[5]

Usage[edit]

The armor is widely recognized as the best Mjolnir suit available for high-value target and hostage recovery operations.[2]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 4[edit]

Scanner was first introduced as a helmet permutation in Halo 4. Scanner was one of four helmet-only sets alongside the Deadeye, Locus, and Strider helmets, and featured no variants.

Halo 5: Guardians[edit]

The Scanner helmet would return in Halo 5: Guardians as an armor permutation available through the Requisition system. The body armor utilizes the Soldier chest and shoulders, Recruit forearms, and unnamed legs.

Production notes[edit]

As shown in concept art, the Scanner helmet without its scope attachment would have bore a strong resemblance to the Mark V version of the Commando helmet, more so than the GEN2 version.
