| '''PROTECTOR-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] developed by the [[Materials Group]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|[[Armor customization (Halo 4)|Armory]] description}} | |
|

|
| ==Overview== | | ==Development history== |
| ===Design details===
| | The MJOLNIR/Protector variant was manufactured by the [[Materials Group]] and tested at the [[Damascus Testing Facility]] on [[Chi Ceti IV]]. Protector-class armor was designed for combat superiority during defensive engagements, including anti-infiltration and siege-resistant functionality.<ref name="Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'']</ref> The Protector variant was used in raids on [[Mindoro]] and [[Volamon]] on [[Cascade]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 160''</ref> |
| The helmet has an interlocking firm-plate visor that includes multiple sensor relays. The suit uses an oversized power fusion pack, also known as a narrow-set fusion harness, though production models throttle the output to standard levels.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5 Armory|H5G|[[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armory]] description}} The pauldrons also have sealed Muroto charge pistons that enhance the operator's reactive stability, improving weapon use.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | |

|
| ===Development history=== | | ==Production notes== |
| Following the [[Human-Covenant War]], after the [[Materials Group]] dispersed a number of their existing contracts to other production companies, Materials internally spearheaded a new focus on defense-optimized systems. As such, the Protector variant was born, intended to be the first of a new line of "heavy" powered armor. However, procurement and design realities brought the PROTECTOR back to near-baseline standards.{{Ref/Reuse|H5 Armory}} However, Protector still became the dominant variant in the Materials Group's newest prototype security line.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} Protector was a defining of classic security-centric GEN1 armor systems, tested at the [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]] on [[Chi Ceti IV]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/837d4a45-880c-453e-a6e1-fec65f037bed/protector|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: Protector|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}}
| | The armor can be unlocked by completing the commendation "UNSC Loadout Mastery", and the skin Protector DRFT (Drift) by getting "Weapon Mastery." |
| | |
| Protector-class armor was designed for combat superiority during defensive engagements, including anti-infiltration, and siege-resistant functionality, where its heavy rating offers incredible resiliency and resourcefulness for defensive stands, predominantly for population centers and urban environments. It is optimized for zone defensive positions and forward plane coverage.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

| ==In-game information==
| |
| ===''Halo 4''===
| |
| Protector was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The armor has one available skin: Drift (DRFT). As with all ''Halo 4'' armor, the skin was not included in the initial release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', though the release of ''Halo 4'' on PC and the start of [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] saw the skin added into the collection as a default unlock.

| |
| The Protector set returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor is not a fully-original design, and as such includes a number of supplementary ''Halo 4'' pieces - primarily the [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms. The PRotector set has one alternate skin; Stalwart.
