===Early history and development=== | |||
=== | |||
Although the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]] meant a radical simplification of the Mjolnir platform, to the point it could be mass-produced, some in the [[Spartan Operations]] branch were dissatisfied with its minimal performance improvement over the old GEN1 systems. By that reason, the UNSC decided to manufacture the next generation of Mjolnir armors.{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=178}} | Although the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]] meant a radical simplification of the Mjolnir platform, to the point it could be mass-produced, some in the [[Spartan Operations]] branch were dissatisfied with its minimal performance improvement over the old GEN1 systems.

Several months later on [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], the armor was used by John-117 during a [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]] on [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Marketing|HINF|Ad=Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Premiere|Id=Premiere}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Hi|Hi}} | Several months later on [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], the armor was used by John-117 during a [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]] on [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Marketing|HINF|Ad=Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Premiere|Id=Premiere}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Hi|Hi}} | ||
In the wake of the [[Created uprising]], there were certain places where the GEN3 armor | In the wake of the [[Created uprising]], there were certain places where the GEN3 armor wasn’t, or simply couldn’t have been, rolled out. As a result, the GEN3 Mjolnir had yet to see full implementation in the [[Spartan Operations|Spartan branch]], with some Spartans still using the GEN2 Mjolnir by late 2559.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFConcert|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-concert-of-words|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - CONCERT OF WORDS|D=25|M=9|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out|Out}} | ||
==Design details== | |||
[[File:HINF-SI - MJOLNIR GEN3 Arm Diagnostic.png|thumb|left|200px|MJOLNIR GEN3 arm component diagnostic.]] | |||
===Design and features=== | |||
The conceptual design framework incorporates lessons from the MJOLNIR [GEN2] line of Mjolnir, while also using performance and higher levels of protection given by the [[MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor#First_generation|MJOLNIR [GEN1]]] line of Mjolnir.{{Ref/Reuse|HOSFMP10P179}} Subsequently GEN3 weighs twice as much as GEN2 at 400 kilograms.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR1}} | |||
The armor features a survival mode that can keep the occupant alive for at least six months in the vacuum of space with no food, water, or other things vital to life aside from the suit's oxygen supply. After a burst of power was used by [[Fernando Esparza]] to bring [[John-117]]'s armor out of survival mode, the armor's fusion reactor almost instantly recharged ''[[Echo 216]]'s'' depleted batteries in return, restoring functioning to the Pelican's internal lights and systems.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Warship Gbraakon|Hi|Ringfall|Warship Gbraakon}} John later told [[the Weapon]] that the next thing that he remembered after getting thrown into space was waking up on the Pelican six months later, suggesting that he had been kept unconscious by the armor for the entire time.{{Ref/Quest|Id=The Sequence|Hi|Reformation|The Sequence}} | |||
At the very least, John-117's armor contains holographic emitters in the palm of the hand, allowing him to display an avatar of [[the Weapon]] over his hand, a feature not previously seen with his GEN1 and GEN2 suits while he was working with Cortana. The Weapon is able to transfer herself directly into systems by having her hologram walk off of the armor's hand and into the terminal in question.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} | |||
John-117's armor displayed the ability to remotely link to the systems of ''Echo 216'' and then activate the ship's autopilot at his request to fly them to a chosen destination.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Foundation|Hi|Ringfall|Foundation (Halo Infinite)}} | |||
