==GEN1 overview==

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.-->

==GEN2 overview==

The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] variant was mostly unchanged from the Mark VI design, having similar abilities like ensuring the user can navigate a battlefield without generating a recognizable silhouette on enemy sensors.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

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.}}

==Trivia==

*In the first months of ''Halo 3'' multiplayer, the Scout chest piece had a [[glitch]]; it would sometimes re-lock itself, even if the requirements for unlocking it had been achieved. [[Bungie]] fixed the glitch in the first ''Halo 3'' Title Update.

*The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' mistakenly displays the Scout helmet in place of the Rogue helmet, but also shows the Scout helmet when discussing the Scout permutation. This mistake was corrected in the 2011 edition of the ''Encyclopedia''.{{Ref/Book|Enc|Page=96}}

*A coincidence relating to this armor is that both visual guides, the ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', and the ''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' have this armor set on page 165.

*A decoy is a unit or vehicle sent in place of the actual target to distract or confuse an enemy. An observer is a person or unit that (as its name suggests) observes targets, and an outrider is a security unit or person who goes ahead of a target's vehicle to check the path ahead.
