Hardened Uplink: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:29, February 17, 2022

The Hardened Uplink (HUL) is an external helmet attachment compatible with helmet variants of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.^[1]

Usage

The HUL was designed for acquisition of military intelligence,^[2] and is required for personnel employing the Pilot helmets while on sensitive operations.^[3] When used in conjunction with the Command Network Module, it is a favorite of pathfinder units employing the AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir helmet.^[4] The device could be integrated with remote sensors into a hardened uplink/remote sensor package.

Compatibility

The HUL has been observed to be compatible with the following helmets:

Commando(HUL[3] variant)^[5]
EVA(HUL[3] variant)^[6]
- EVA [C] helmet (HUL[3] variant)^[2]^{[Note 1]}
Grenadier (Standard variant)^[7]
HAZOP (Standard variant)^[8]
Mark VI (HUL[3] variant)^[9]
ODST (Standard variant)^[10]
Pilot (HUL[3] variant)^[3]
Recon (HUL[3] variants)^[11]^[12]

Variants

The HUL has three observed variants, each with its own distinct physical appearance.

Model 990101-1 FLAMINGO

The Model 990101-1 FLAMINGO is an upgraded variant of the standard issue HUL unit.^[13] It features improved battlenet reception and bandwidth in challenging mission areas, like previously glassed planets.^[14]

COURIER PEARL

Designed and manufactured by Watershed Division,^[15] the COURIER PEARL variant is the third-generation external hardened uplink for military intelligence acquisition.^[6] Usually used by use by Section III and Spartan team leaders,^[15] its adoption is required for personnel employing the Pilot helmet during sensitive operations.^[3]

The HUL[3] on the UA variant of the EVA helmet.
The HUL[3] on the Commando helmet.
The HUL[3] on the Pilot helmet.
The HUL[3] on the UA variant of the Recon helmet.

In-game information

The HUL serves as a cosmetic option and has no impact on gameplay.

Halo: Reach

All three variants of the HUL are available as attachments on several helmets in the armor permutations of Halo: Reach. The device is priced at different levels of Credits, depending on the base helmets. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the same HUL-attached helmets are unlockable in Season 1: Noble.

Halo Infinite

HUL attachments are as customization options in Halo Infinite. The release of Halo Infinite was accompanied by a series of retcons, with a HUL variant being changed into the CNM/BNR/FARNDALE.

Production notes

The CQC helmet with the "camera" CNM variant labelled as "HUL" in the Beta.

During the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the "camera" variant of the CNM on the CQC helmet, along with UA attachment on the Mark V[B] helmet, was labelled as HUL. Both helmet attachments costed 5,000 credits.
In the final release of Halo: Reach, four mislabeled helmet attachments involved the HUL:
- The standard HUL variant mislabeled as the CNM on the EVA[C] helmet.
- The standard HUL variant mislabeled as the UA/HUL[3] on the EVA[C] helmet.
- The standard HUL variant mislabeled as the HUL-I on the Recon helmet.
- The "Camera" CNM variant mislabeled as the UA/HUL-I on the Mark VI helmet.
