WETWORK-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2) developed by Lethbridge Industrial.[3][2]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The helmet has a linear target focused visor architecture. It also has long-range impact layers for collecting vibrations and sound over great distances. The suit has a sub-collar plate contacts for stealth modifications, and anterior flex-locked hard points for equipment.[1]

Development history[edit]

The Wetwork variant was manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial and tested at Lethbridge Combat Fields.[2] The armor was tested against the United Rebel Front on Talitsa.[3] It was designed to enhance the stealth capabilities of its user, and is intended primarily for covert elimination of targets.[2]

Usage[edit]

Although not often encountered in the field,[4] WETWORK-class armor is generally employed in high-value target acquisition and elimination scenarios. Its most notable use was during a classified mission to target key rebel leaders on the surface of Talitsa by Delta Six operatives.[3][2]

The linear sensor on WETWORK helmets is a standard VISR-compatible element on most suits. Delta-Six and other specialists use esoteric systems more valuable than the suit and Spartan themselves.[5]
