'''RAIDER-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] developed by [[Imbrium Machine Complex]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|Armor permutations (Halo 4)|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Raider Description|Quote=Per IMC, this armor's feral design is intended to weaken the opposition's morale.}}{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/20245257-102f-4087-8413-6fa5b15a4901/raider|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: Raider|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
The helmet has a 930-AV4 Class-2 Ankara tactical assault suite.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} The helmet's design is considered "exotically feral". This makes the armor perceptibly imposing to those who encounter it, even for some elements within the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Generic|Id=Waypoint|[[Halo Waypoint Classified]]|Raider Descriptions}} The shoulders are composite-folded shield negotiators with fused venting for reactive thrust application.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} The pauldrons also have a accession pauldron conduit for in-field modifications.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} Its chest-plating is full mesh ceramic with flow contours for dissipative shielding and other defensive countermeasures.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}

While the helmet's design is considered "exotically feral" on its own, it is made even more when paired with the visible dissonance of the Distorted skin.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}

===Development history===
The Raider variant was developed by [[Imbrium Machine Complex]]. It was tested at [[Anakara Resiliency Chamber]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} IMC representatives claimed that the armor's feral appearance was designed to weaken the morale of opposing forces.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} 

During the [[Fall of Reach]], a Spartan team consisting of Spartans [[SPARTAN NOLA|NOLA]] and [[SPARTAN NV66|NV66]] was sent to acquire and protect data relating to improving MJOLNIR armor. The team was ultimately successful with this endeavor, and was able to send the data to a remote archival station for safekeeping. In [[2557]], the data was retrieved and discovered to be specifics on the Raider armor.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/20245257-102f-4087-8413-6fa5b15a4901/raider|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=DECRYPTING SECTION 3 (UPDATED 11.15) Page 41}}

===Usage===
Raider armor saw increased usage in [[War Games]] simulations, specifically within [[Oddball]] competitions.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

Even though the RAIDER helmets were crafted to be physically intimidating, their effectiveness is disputed.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Raider - Helmet Description|Quote=RAIDER helmets were crafted to be physically intimidating, though its effectiveness is disputed.}} The RAIDER-class armor, however, has become the unofficial standard for Spartans assigned to [[military police]] duties.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Raider - Body Description|Quote=RAIDER-class armor has become the unofficial standard for Spartans assigned to military police duties.}}

==In-game information==
===''Halo Waypoint'' Classified information===
*'''Helmet description''': The exotically feral design of the RAIDER-class helmet, particularly when paired with the visible dissonance of the Distort skin, makes the armor perceptibly imposing to those who encounter it, even for some elements within the Covenant.
*'''Shoulder description''': RAIDER's shoulder-plating systems are standard, composite-folded shield negotiators with fused venting for reactive thrust application.
*'''Chest description''': Its chest-plating is full mesh ceramic with flow contours for dissipative shielding and other defensive countermeasures.

===''Halo 4''===
Raider was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. Unlike other armor sets, the Raider armor set is unlocked inputting the classified codes on the [[Xbox 360]] [[Halo Waypoint]] application after completing gameplay actions.

==Production notes==
[[File:S3ARG Raider Armor codes.jpg|thumb|250px|The codes to unlock Raider armor.]]
{{Main|Halo Waypoint Classified}}
The base version of the Raider's samurai-inspired aesthetic is similar to that of the [[Project HAYABUSA|HAYABUSA armor]] from ''[[Halo 3]]''. The armor is acquired through ''[[Halo Waypoint]]'' after completing the first three chapters of Episode One of [[Spartan Ops]] and entering a series of hidden codes.

The "Distort" variant is also possible to unlock via Waypoint, although each piece has different requirements. Unlocking the shoulders requires completing the first 15 episodes of Spartan Ops on [[Legendary]] difficulty, as well as finding several glyphs on the maps and in Waypoint forum posts. The torso requires beating the campaign solo on Legendary, as well as finding glyphs in "Section 3" postings and forum posts. The helmet requires 1,000 completed War Games matches, as well as several glyphs hidden in the maps of the [[Crimson Map Pack]] and on forum posts.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/classified Halo Waypoint - "Classified" section]</ref>
