'''PATHFINDER-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]].<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref><ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref>

==Overview==
===Specifications===
The helmet's visor has self-actuated, independent intel assessing systems. It also has heavy-gauge atmosphere filtration vents. The IMBR-119 close-fitting pauldron units allow smooth mobility in dense foliage. The chest has a extended canopy mount.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

The armor contains anterior torque couplings, a Bravado-120 fitted stabilizer unit, and alternating heat-tempered balance drives.<ref>'''[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]''' ''- UNSC ''Infinity'' briefing packet''</ref>

Dedicated expert systems or dedicated AIs can be housed in the PATHFINDER helmet for on-site analysis of signals intelligence. These are run in a separate virtual machine from the rest of the suit's systems for security reasons.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

===Development history===
The Pathfinder variant was manufactured by [[Imbrium Machine Complex]]{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} It was tested at [[Ankara]], [[Mare Imbrium]] on [[Luna]] in the brutal outland conditions of [[Bosque de Negro]], where IMC determined the overall viability of the armor.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} It is intended primarily for use in operations that take place deep in unknown territory.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

===Usage===
During testing IMC deployed a number of Pathfinder-equipped Spartans into Bosque de Negro. These Spartans survived and thrived on the forest's deadly terrain and wildlife.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

Pathfinder has broken several challenge-duration records during its brutal stints in Bosque de Negro.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

The PATHFINDER armor is already popular with Spartan force reconnaissance, and is now seeing extensive use with tactical signals intelligence elements.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
