'''Mark VI MOD''' is a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] variant of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI]] modified by [[Cortana]]{{Ref/Reuse|EVGMasterChief10}} while stranded on the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}},{{Ref/Level|Id=H4Dawn|H4|Dawn}} with a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] variant produced by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]'s [[Watershed Division]].{{Ref/Reuse|warfare}}

==GEN1 overview==
===Design details===
Mark VI MOD closely resembles an earlier line of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV]] armor.{{Ref/Reuse|EVGMasterChief10}} The suit's firmware was modified, altering the HUD{{Ref/Reuse|H4Dawn}} and its compatibility with Covenant [[Armor abilities|armor plugins]].{{Ref/Level|Id=H4Requiem|H4|Requiem (level)|Requiem}} Mark VI MOD also includes a built-in thruster system enabling John-117 to slow his descent while in free fall and propel himself forward in zero gravity.{{Ref/Level|Id=H4Shutdown|H4|Shutdown}}

===Development history===
Referred to as Mark VI MOD,<ref name="MCMCC">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le6WYZmWkDs MegaConstrux Master Chief Collection]</ref> the Mark VI Mjolnir armor worn by MCPO [[John-117]] following the end of the Human-Covenant War was updated by UNSC AI [[Cortana]]{{Ref/Reuse|EVGMasterChief10}} during their four years and seven months of cryosleep aboard the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}.{{Ref/Reuse|H4Dawn}} Cortana used [[nanotechnology|manufacturing]] and diagnostic systems to repair and alter John's armor.<ref name="ScienceOfHalo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjswoU39AOY '''YouTube''' - ''The Science Behind The Halo Series'']</ref><ref name="Halo Canon">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2geKWjvhPY '''Halo Canon''' - ''Interview'']</ref>

During her time on the ''Dawn'', Cortana also updated the suit's firmware,{{Ref/Reuse|H4Dawn}} and during their time on [[Requiem]], Cortana added a soft patch to the firmware to allow compatibility with Covenant armor plugins.{{Ref/Reuse|H4Requiem}}

===Usage===
Mark VI MOD was exclusively used by John-117, first being used during the [[Battle of Requiem]] after he woke up on the UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'' on [[2557#July|July 21, 2557]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4Dawn}}

This armor was heavily damaged during the [[Mission to Installation 03|Mission to]] [[Installation 03]] on July 26, 2557{{Ref/Comic|HE|Issue=10}} and replaced by a similar [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2 Mjolnir armor]] variant.<ref name="grimt">[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/782402924353757184 '''Jeff Easterling's Twitter''' - ''GEN2; in Escalation'']</ref>

==GEN2 overview==
===Design details===
Like most GEN2 MJOLNIR suits in 2558 the GEN2 Mark VI MOD had an extensive built-in thruster system far more advanced than the thrusters built into the GEN1 Mark VI MOD. These allowed for extensive movement options both in zero gravity and in-atmosphere environments.{{Ref/Level|Id=H5GBlueTeam|H5G|Blue Team (level)|Blue Team}}
===Development history===
Following the events on Gamma Halo, John-117 upgraded to the GEN2 platform.{{Ref/Reuse|grimt}}<ref name="warfare">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-conventional-warfare '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Conventional Warfare'']</ref> This suit is still designated Mark VI MOD.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition''', ''Spartan Locke's classified orders''</ref> The upgrade was made by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]'s [[Watershed Division]].<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/791063783280025601</ref> The GEN2 Mark VI MOD shoulder pads were adapted into and mass-produced for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] armor, being renamed as UA/AHALA. They were designed by Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] and Watershed Division, and manufactured by the [[Materials Group]].{{Ref/Game|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=UA/AHALA - Shoulder Description|Quote=Mass-produced implementation of the Mark VI GEN2 MOD pauldrons designed by Dr. Catherine Halsey and Watershed Division.}}

===Usage===
John-117 used the GEN2 Mark VI MOD extensively from shortly after his Installation 03 deployment to after the [[Battle of Genesis]].{{Ref/Level|Id=H5GGuardians|H5G|Guardians (level)|Guardians}} During the [[Battle of Meridian (2558)|Battle of Meridian]], the helmet's visor was cracked during a fight between John-117 and Spartan-IV [[Jameson Locke]].{{Ref/Level|Id=H5GUnconfirmed|H5G|Unconfirmed}} Shortly before [[Operation: WOLFE]] John-117 had begun wearing a [[GEN3]] version of the Mark VI.{{Ref/Generic|[[Halo Infinite: Memory Agent]]}}{{Ref/Book|Halo: Shadows of Reach}}
