In the Halo 3 multiplayer map Cold Storage, a Spartan-II, clad in the HIVEMIND-class Mjolnir variant, is wielding an M90A shotgun and throwing a Anskum-pattern plasma grenade. Screenshot from Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
The Hivemind suite of MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2) was developed and tested aboard ANVIL Station for use by Spartans tasked in combating Flood outbreaks.[1][2]

Flood containment Fireteams are an all-volunteer force of specialised SPARTAN-IV fireteams employed for containment of the Flood parasite. These units have seen action in the Post-Covenant War conflicts, having executed their job successfully enough that most people haven't heard of a Flood outbreak in the interim. Should a Spartan become infected with the Flood, code CORRUPTER is declared and weapons of mass destruction are deployed to contain the threat.[3] Such infected Spartans have been simulated in War Games.[4][5] The Flood containment fireteams have employed specialised anti-Flood equipment such as the Hazops Cyclops or the Hivemind and OSTEO armors.[1][2] Several VISR variants developed for the GEN2 platform were created with the Flood's potential infection in mind, with eponymously-named Flood visor being designed specifically for such teams, while the Gallows visor equips the helmet with failsafe charges for use in the event of a suit compromise.[6][7][8]

Flood containment teams have been deployed in live operations, including at least one event at Site 22 in which the team in question, Fireteam Leviathan, was compromised and the necessary CORRUPTER and UPSILON protocols declared and enacted by the team's support ship, UNSC Saturn.[9][10]
