DYNAST-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR [GEN2] armor.[1][2]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The Dynast armor excels in close-range firefights due to its resilience and situational awareness. The helmet of the Dynast set is both extremely durable and expensive, being covered by a layered series of compressed carbon nanotubes and hyperdiamond sheets. Its superior composition has caused it to effectively replace older CQB designs,[1] though the first-generation CQB-class Mjolnir could still be requisitioned by Spartans as late as 2558.[1][3]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 5: Guardians[edit]

Dynast was first introduced as an armor set in Halo 5: Guardians in the Ghosts of Meridian update. The Dynast set has two alternate skin designs; Cincidel and Lilioc.[4] Uniquely, the Cincindel skin bears a camouflage pattern, the emblem of the Swords of Sanghelios on its upper-right chest, and an unknown emblem on its left shoulder.
