| '''Dexterity'''
| Speeds up weapon reload speed by 66% and weapon swap speed by 15%.
| Circumvents overlock and mobility systems, temporarily allowing the bypass of fine-control movement governors to obtain quicker reloading times and weapon swapping. Upgrades which enhance movement have increased in popularity for operations with intense close quarters firefights which demand swift weapon versatility.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint}}
|-
| '''Sensor'''
| Increases the range of the [[motion tracker]]. This package overrides player traits, setting their motion tracker range to 60 meters.
| The upgrade violates general UNSC transmission regulations. It is utilized by stealth operatives and infiltration specialists to provide heightened locational intelligence of all nearby enemies.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint}}

| Shows the [[motion sensor]] while using a [[scope]].
| Facilitates minor adjustments in the MJOLNIR's HUD-distributed display mechanics, allowing the integration of a motion sensor into scoped weapon, native of exotic smart-links. Thus, it provides a Spartan with basic motion sensor data while sighting an enemy. This upgrade is often relied upon by Spartans who engage in sniper operations or long-range combat.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint}}

| '''Explosives'''
| '''Dexterity'''
| Alters grenade performance, increasing blast radius by 25%, and decreasing grenade damage received by 25%.
| Speeds up weapon reloads and weapon swapping.
| Manipulates energy placement differential systems which allows armor software to automatically transfer conclusive force from explosions sustained during combat. When used with MJOLNIR GEN2, it passively disperse receiving energy, allowing them to take less damage while increasing damage for targets.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint}}

| '''Ordnance Priority'''
| '''Drop Recon'''
| Offers more frequent ordnance drops to the player. It is available only in modes in which personal ordnance is allowed.
| Feeds the player information on the time and place of ordnance drops.
| Allows access to a Class-D4803 priority channel with {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, due to a software patch which allows dialing couplers and satellite linkage. This allows users to call in ordnance more often. The upgrade is often utilized by Spartans during requisition-dense, support-heavy combat in situations where the deployment of ordnance can be intermittent and scarce.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint}}

| '''Stability'''
| '''Explosives'''
| Increases aiming stability when being fired upon. Overall it makes the user flinch 50% less when under fire thus allowing a steady aim on target.
| Alters grenade performance, increasing blast radius and decreasing grenade damage received by the user.
| This upgrade functions by alternating the suit's default kinetic dampeners. Spartans who participate in lateral combat maneuvers through environments which are notably dense favor this upgrade.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint}}

| Increases how long a mounted weapon can fire before overheating. It also increases the player's movement speed when a weapon is detached from its turret.
| Improves a variety of elements which favor heavy weapon specialists. This is allowed by software improvements in the suit's automated weapon communication nodes.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint}}
