===''Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta''===
In the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta]]'', there was a "BRN" skin which became the "Charred" skin in the final game. This skin had descriptions for it as follows:
*'''Helmet description''': Though largely confined to War Games, custom patterns can be applied to RECRUIT armor before fitting.
*'''Body description''': Personalized RECRUIT armor suits the needs of a diverse segment of Spartan combatants.
 
===''Halo 5: Guardians''===
The Recruit armor returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor includes the Recruit chest and right shoulder, an unknown left shoulder, [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms, and Recruit legs. The Recruit set has three skins: Charred, Marked, and Proven.

==Production notes==
In ''[[Halo 4]]'', the Recruit right shoulder and forearms available to the player in multiplayer are different from those seen elsewhere in the game, such as on SPARTAN-IV NPCs in campaign and on characters in the ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' cutscenes. Curiously, the SPARTAN-IVs in ''Halo 4''{{'}}s campaign appear to be wearing what the game classifies as [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms.

Recruit
Recruit armor in Halo 4 with no skin.
Production overview

Manufacturer(s):

Testing site(s):

Type:

MJOLNIR [GEN2][1]

Role(s):

Standard default armor configuration for all recruited Spartan personnel[3]

Technical specifications

Feature(s):

  • Class-A hardened reactor case[1]
  • Common solid-plate pauldrons[1]
 
“ Standard default armor configuration for all recruited Spartan personnel.[3] ”

RECRUIT-class Mjolnir is the standard-issue MJOLNIR GEN2 armor set manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems and Materials Group. It is the standard armor for all newly recruited SPARTAN-IV personnel.[3][4]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The reactor is covered by a "Class-A hardened reactor case". The shoulders are called "common solid-plate pauldrons". There is a power conduit on the cuisse. The feet have segmented plates to increase mobility. The armor is designed to cope with the strain and duress experienced by newly augmented Spartan-IV.[1]

The standard color scheme for Recruit-equipped Spartans aboard the UNSC Infinity consists of orange-yellow stripes at various points, most notably along the center of the helmet, though the suit remains largely unpainted.[Note 1] Whether this color scheme is common among all recently inducted SPARTAN-IVs is unknown.

Development History[edit]

The majority of the Recruit variants were manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems and tested at WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka. Both the forearms and greaves were manufactured by the Materials Group, with the forearms tested at FFG-045's combat lab, and the greaves manufactured on Chi Ceti IV.[2] Testing for the GEN2 version was swiftly done, as by January 2553 a copy of the armor was onboard the UNSC Infinity.[5]

Decades of combat experience with Mjolnir suits informed the design and electronics hardware architecture of the RECRUIT helmet.[4]

Skins[edit]

The Prime skin is part of the Infinity Actual Kit recommended for Spartan-IV first contact and asymmetrical operations.[6]

Usage[edit]

Newly inducted Spartans are required to use the Recruit-class armor for an individually determined time frame before requisitioning custom kits.[3] The armor's performance consistency raises eyebrows among the more experienced Spartans, however, and despite its popularity, many Spartan-IVs opt to diversify the armor with other variants.[1]

Spartans in the Recruit variant armor were sold as toys. One child had painted his Recruit Spartan action figure to resemble the Master Chief.[7]

In-game information[edit]

Reruit was first introduced into the Halo games as an armor set in Halo 4.

Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta[edit]

In the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta, there was a "BRN" skin which became the "Charred" skin in the final game. This skin had descriptions for it as follows:

  • Helmet description: Though largely confined to War Games, custom patterns can be applied to RECRUIT armor before fitting.
  • Body description: Personalized RECRUIT armor suits the needs of a diverse segment of Spartan combatants.

Halo 5: Guardians[edit]

The Recruit armor returns in Halo 5: Guardians. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as armor permutations through the Requisition system. The body armor includes the Recruit chest and right shoulder, an unknown left shoulder, Ricochet forearms, and Recruit legs. The Recruit set has three skins: Charred, Marked, and Proven.

Production notes[edit]

In Halo 4, the Recruit right shoulder and forearms available to the player in multiplayer are different from those seen elsewhere in the game, such as on SPARTAN-IV NPCs in campaign and on characters in the Spartan Ops cutscenes. Curiously, the SPARTAN-IVs in Halo 4's campaign appear to be wearing what the game classifies as Ricochet forearms.
