Compared to the similar [[ODST armor#MJOLNIR GEN2 variant|GEN2 ODST armor]], major differences include a [[data crystal chip]] port on the back of the helmet (much like those featured on the [[Mark V]] and later MJOLNIR iterations) and a camera integrated into the brim of the helmet (which consequently extends farther over the faceplate). The helmet's visor is retractable and contains a sophisticated [[VISR]] suite capable of identifying and analyzing objects in the environment.{{Ref/ | Compared to the similar [[ODST armor#MJOLNIR GEN2 variant|GEN2 ODST armor]], major differences include a [[data crystal chip]] port on the back of the helmet (much like those featured on the [[Mark V]] and later MJOLNIR iterations) and a camera integrated into the brim of the helmet (which consequently extends farther over the faceplate).

In [[2556]], [[Locke's team]] wore the armor during [[Mission to Alpha Shard|a mission]] to [[Alpha Shard]] in order to destroy deposits of a deadly new element. During an attack by [[Lekgolo]] worms, the team was forced to deactivate their armor's systems in order to avoid detection. At the suggestion of Colonel [[Randall Aiken]] of the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]], the team removed and abandoned their armor as without the hydraulics and air conditioning, it was just dead weight and they could not risk reactivating it without drawing the attention of the deadly worms.{{Ref/Reuse| | In [[2556]], [[Locke's team]] wore the armor during [[Mission to Alpha Shard|a mission]] to [[Alpha Shard]] in order to destroy deposits of a deadly new element.
