The War Master's helmet visor is designed in such a way as to ensure the visor's contours intimidate enemies. The helmet is equipped with an R-42 case-filter rebreather, and the suit's chestplate features a Corsica-102 [[Energy shielding|shield]] recoupler that works to improve armor resiliency. The cuirass' "shoulders" contain the suit's plane-reactor couplings; a feature which increases mobility through weight distribution. The suit's low-set shoulder pauldrons lend themselves to variability in the operator's usage.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | The War Master's helmet visor is designed in such a way as to ensure the visor's contours intimidate enemies.
