'''SCOUT-class Mjolnir''', also designated as the '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant''', is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] that was developed by the [[Materials Group]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Waypoint|D=14|M=03|Y=2011|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/tech/video/the-mjolnir-project-2/46e89c1a-f619-41e2-ad7f-ab65c61ca2df|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=MJOLNIR 2|LocalArchive=The MJOLNIR Project}}

===Design details===

The Scout armor uses advanced materials to provide stealth properties, while the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant|'R' variant]] reduces infrared signature and radiation emissions.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|H3|Armor permutations (Halo 3)|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Scout Description}} In the case of the Mk. V version, the helmet's visor also includes an enhanced optics system.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}

The Scout and Recon projects were run as parallel projects intended to develop a single variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor with stealth capabilities and no impact on endurance; out of the two, the Scout variant relies heavily on highly advanced materials. It was tested in the Office of Naval Intelligence's [[Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility]] at [[Swanbourne]], [[Wikipedia:Perth|Perth]], in [[Wikipedia:Western Australia|Western]] [[Australia]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} The Scout variant was developed for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V Powered Assault Armor]] and was later upgraded to function with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Armory|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=Scout Description}}<!--Halo Waypoint states that the Scout and Recon helmets were developed for the Mark VI platform. However, this statement is retconned in Halo: The Essential Visual Guide.-->

After the first wave of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] systems, based on the request of an [[Jun-A266|unnamed VIP]], a one-off upgrade to the Mark V version of the suit was created, called [[VIGILANT-class Mjolnir]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF:Noble|D=6|M=5|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder: Noble Intentions}} As late as [[2560]], GEN1 Scout could still be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HI}}

===Design details===

It contains the most capable covert anti-tracking system and shroud-induction packages available for use.{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/3ce612f7-8734-4c73-835c-b2b978b89003/scout|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: Scout|D=23|M=4|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}} SCOUT armor also incorporates AI-assisted forward observation uplinks to direct aerospace and orbital strikes.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Scout - Body Description|Quote=In addition to sensor shrouding, SCOUT armor incorporates AI-assisted forward observation uplinks to direct aerospace and orbital strikes.}}

The helmet has a groove on it that helps orient shroud placements as well as a wide-scan visor plate. The chest has a spectrum-fracturing canopy emitter designed for extended active camouflage use, and a X900-Boulder emission shroud system (Swan-B5) that masks extraneous radioactive emissions. The reactor pack has a Bravado-120-T5 fitted stabilizer that guards against reactor pings.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} The kit also includes an IR-sig modulator.{{Ref/Game|H4|Id=H4LE|Part=Halo 4 Limited Edition|PartText=Limited Edition|What=Infinity Briefing Packet|WhatText=''Infinity'' briefing packet}}

During early development of the GEN2 variant, the Materials Group tested various form factors of the SCOUT helmet, before settling on a sleek shape reminiscent of the Mark VI [GEN1] model,{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} Testing was done in the [[WG/Facility 58-32/B5D]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} Testing for the GEN2 version was swiftly done, as by [[2553#January|January 2553]] a copy of the armor was on board the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Comic|HInit|Issue=2}} The GEN2 Scout helmet's design was used for the GEN3 [[CELOX-class Mjolnir]] helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}

The Scout [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor permutation]] is unlockable in ''Halo 3''. The helmet features a cap-like protrusion, along its rim and a beak-like protrusion under the chin. It is usually best to use this armor for sniping because its thin, slit-shaped visor keeps it less visible than other helmets. Its general shape could be compared to a full face helmet or the helmet worn by UNSC marines. The shoulder pauldrons are straight and angular. Unlike other shoulder pieces, the Scout shoulders are attached slightly above the elbow, instead of on the shoulder. They are remarkably similar to the original Marine armor from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', and the shoulder plates of the Brutes in ''[[Halo 2]]''. Like the other MJOLNIR variants, the chest plate is simply an attachment that is placed onto the already existing Mark VI armor. The chest armor consists of a H-shaped plate over the upper torso, and a pair of articulated plates attached to its bottom.

The Scout set returns in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', though the Scout helmet features drastically different aesthetics than the Mark VI Scout helmet seen in ''Halo 3''. The helmet resembles the MJOLNIR Recon variant in terms of basic design, with the visor being a wide slit. Two upgrades are available for the helmet, the first adds a Hardened Uplink/Remote Sensor Package (HU/RS), and the second adds a [[CBRN module]] with a [[Command Network Module]] on the right side. The HU/RS attachment in this form is unique to the Scout helmet, in all other appearances it looks more like a helmet mounted flashlight. All Scout armor types can be unlocked in the ''[[Halo: Reach]]''{{'}}s [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory]] through the game's purchase system via the use of [[Credits|cR]]. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the Scout set is attainable in the [[Season 1: Noble]] progression system.

Scout was one of the [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor permutations]] to return, albeit completely redesigned for [[GEN2]], in ''[[Halo 4]]''.  In ''The Master Chief Collection'', the Scout set and its two skins, Apex (APEX) and Toxic (TOXC) variants, are available by default.

The ''Halo 4'' design of Scout 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 includes the Scout chest and shoulders, [[Inner-plated]] forearms, and [[Outer-plated]] legs. The GEN2 Scout set has three alternate skins: Decoy, Observer, and Outrider.  

The Mark V Scout helmet and its attachments are available for [[multiplayer]] Spartan [[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|armor customization]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. The Rusalka armor kit on the [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V [B] armor core]] features a Flood infected Mark V Scout helmet.
