Production overview

Manufacturer(s):

Naphtali Contractor Corporation[1]

Testing site(s):

Buffalo Breaker Yards[1]

Type:

MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)[1]

Role(s):

Hunter-tracker field application[1]

 
“ Developed by the NCC via intel previously gleaned from Jiralhanae stealth kits. ”

STALKER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] manufactured by Naphtali Contractor Corporation.[2][3]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The helmet features scanning nodes and a flush-mounted rebreather system. It is also equipped with an irregular beam visor that is loosely based on Jiralhanae Stalker visor schema. The suit has horizontal, cross-set shield conduits.[1]

Development history[edit]

The Stalker variant was manufactured by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation. The armor was developed and produced by the NCC via intel on Jiralhanae Stalker units and other separate advances made by ONI.[1] A similar suit also derived from Brute Stalkers, named "Infractor", was later developed by the New Tyne Armory on the independent world of Venezia.[4]

Usage[edit]

The Stalker armor system offers a vast array of hunter-tracker field improvements considered prodigious among remaining D-6 operatives.[3] Covenant infantry who encounter Spartans wearing this suit are often taken back by the armor's visage, placing them at a brief disadvantage.[1]

In-game information[edit]

Progression through the Stalker Specialization ranks grant players with the Stalker armor permutations, Stalker multiplayer emblems, the Nemesis support upgrade, and the BR85HB battle rifle "Dune" weapon skin. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the Stalker set, its Crush skin, and associated customizations are available by default.
