{{Armor infobox
The '''Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant''', more commonly known as '''Extra Vehicular Activity Armor''' and abbreviated as '''EVA Armor''', is a type of [[United Nations Space Command]] body armor. This armor should not be confused with the [[Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor]], the armor used by [[Spartan-III]]'s in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''. The EVA armor is a variant of the standard [[MJOLNIR|Mark VI MJOLNIR]] powered assault armor; specialized to improve survivability of [[SPARTAN-II]]'s when in vacuum. The [[Booster Frame|Booster Frames]] featured in [[Halo Legends]] are EVA specific purpose machines cobbled together for a very black ops mission and are purpose built to do a single task.<ref>http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=933018</ref>

'''EVA-class Mjolnir''' ('''Extra Vehicular Activity'''), also known as the '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant''', is a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] variant produced by the [[Materials Group]]. It is designed to improve the survivability of [[Spartan]]s when performing [[extra-vehicular activity]] in the vacuum of space.{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO|GOO|Page=49, 50, 57}}{{Ref/Game|Id=h3|H3|Armor permutations (Halo 3)|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=EVA Description|Quote=Developed at the UNSC Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility on Ganymede, the Mjolnir/V variant focuses on increasing exoatmospheric endurance and improving mobility in zero gravity.}}


== Development and History ==
==GEN1 overview==
The MJOLNIR/V variant was developed and tested at a UNSC [[Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility]] facility in [[Lister (City)|Lister]], [[Aigburth]] on [[Ganymede]], integrating feedback gathered from the [[Summa Deep Space Incident]]. The Mjolnir/V variant focuses on increasing exo-atmospheric endurance and improving mobility in zero gravity without the original use of back thrusters.

===Design details===
The EVA variant for the Mark IV still required a [[T-PACK]] for maneuvering in zero gravity.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}} The Mark V EVA variant had a shielded visor.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The Mark VI EVA variant focuses on increasing exo-atmospheric endurance and improving mobility in zero gravity without the original use of back thrusters.{{Ref/Reuse|h3}} The helmet also contains a single-beam laser [[COM|TEAMCOM]] system for communications.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}} The EVA helmet is capable of supporting [[AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE]] and [[AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE]] Command Network Modules, [[COURIER PEARL]] Hardened Uplink and [[UA/Type C1|Type C1]] UA module.


=== Helmet Characteristics ===
===Development history===
The EVA armor’s helmet is aesthetically similar to the Semi Powered Infiltration (or [[SPI]]) armor’s helmet. In fact, in early renders the armor was mistaken for SPI armor. However, the rim from the jaw down to the chin is thinner, including the breathers, and the back of the head has a quarter-sphere shape. The helmet is also much more rounded than the SPI helmet. The helmet may have its characteristic visor for complete field of vision during space operations. It is nicknamed "the fish bowl" by some gamers for it has a spherical visor. It is very much like the [[Mark V(m) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Security]] helmet. It is dubbed by some gamers a "sniper magnet" because of the obvious and brightly colored visor.
As early as [[2525]] developmental Mjolnir permutations utilized physical architecture that would eventually be used for EVA.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/about-that-fall-of-reach-animated-series-trailer/e114975f-ddcc-4109-bf72-e4d8efc29ec5/posts?page=2#post37|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=About that Fall of Reach Animated Series Trailer|D=20|M=6|Y=2021}} The MJOLNIR/V variant was developed and tested at a UNSC [[Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility]] facility in [[Lister (City)|Lister]], [[Aigburth]] on [[Ganymede]], integrating feedback gathered from the [[Summa Deep Space Incident]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=EVA - Helmet Description|Quote=Though particulars of the Summa Deep Space Incident remain classified at the highest level, the event was pivotal in the rapid development and improvement MJOLNIR EVA helmets.}}{{Ref/Reuse|BnetEVA}}


=== Shoulder Characteristics ===
The EVA variant has spawned numerous offshoots and is generally renowned for its reliability, ergonomics, and modularity— features to which the design's enduring popularity is often attributed. The GEN1 EVA helmet remained popular as late as 2558 and could still be requisitioned by Spartans for use with their next-generation [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] suits.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G1|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor Permutations|Detail=EVA GEN1 - Helmet Description|Quote=Few Mjolnir designs can claim to have spun off as many sub-variants as the EVA [GEN1]. The enduring popularity of the design is a testament to its reliability, ergonomics, modularity, and tradition of craftsmanship by Materials Group.}} After the first wave of GEN2 systems, based on requests of veteran [[Spartan-II]] and [[Spartan-III]] operatives, the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Mark V EVA, specifically the customized suit worn by [[Emile-A239]] complete with the death's head engraving on the visor. This led to the creation of the [[WRATH-class Mjolnir]]. In addition, the [[INDOMITABLE-class Mjolnir]]'s right shoulder pad is based off the Mark V EVA shoulders.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF:Noble|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Noble Intentions|D=20|M=6|Y=2021}}
The pauldrons are larger than the standard MJOLNIR plates and feature a long attachment to their center, another similarity to the SPI armor, which could be radios. The pauldrons also cover more surface area than other shoulder pieces.


=== Chest Characteristics ===
As late as [[2560]], the GEN1 EVA helmet and shoulders could still be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}
The chest plate is a seemingly standard MJOLNIR chest plate set with a small and minor attachment. The attachment consists of a small metal plate connected to a piece of black alloy that has several unknown equipment pieces set into it. These are speculated to be docking ports so that a [[SPARTAN-II]] does not drift into space.

===Usage===
*'''Head''': Unlock the [[Campaign Complete: Normal]] achievement. This achievement will unlock if the Campaign is completed on Normal or a higher difficulty.  
On [[2531]], [[Kurt-051]] used the Mark IV variant of the armor on a mission alongside [[Blue Team]] in [[Construction Platform 966A]].{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}} A user of the Mark V variant of the armor was Emile-A239, who engraved a death's head on the visor.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}

==GEN2 overview==
{{Article quote|Classic variant of MJOLNIR GEN1 designed for extra-vehicular activity operations.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|EVA [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor permutations]]}}}}
===Design details===
The GEN2 EVA armor is similar to its GEN1 counterparts in its design. This variant's helmet uses an open-view visor system typical of EVA configurations. It has 59-L20 Aureole braces in the helmet for awareness improvement.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} The helmet can also be paired with all milspec hardshell and mechanical counterpressure suits.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor Permutations|Detail=EVA - Helmet Description|Quote=The EVA helmet can be paired with all milspec hardshell and mechanical counterpressure suits.}}
 
The slim-contoured chest plate lowers physical profile dramatically. This variant also uses larger pauldrons than previous models.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
===Development history===
Due to their long-standing history of investment [[Materials Group]] retained the production rights after the Human-Covenant War. It remains the most effective option for Spartan personnel engaged in exoatmospheric and zero-gravity scenarios. It was tested in [[WG/Facility 58-32/B5D]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
Though EVA-class armor is fully compliant with the strictest UNSC specifications for vacuum-rated environment suits, Material Groups has continued to optimize safety and protective features relevant for combat in the harshest microgravity regimes.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
 
===Usage===
Spartan [[Kelly-087]] used this armor during [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]] on [[2553|December 2553]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=R14|Halo: Retribution|Chapter=14}}
 
===Deviations===

==In-game information==
===''Halo 3'' - GEN1 Mark VI ===
The EVA armor's helmet is aesthetically similar to the Semi Powered Infiltration (or [[SPI]]) armor's helmet. The visor is smaller than the Mark V variant. However, the rim from the jaw down to the chin is thinner, including the breathers, and the back of the head has a quarter-sphere shape. The helmet is also much more rounded than the SPI helmet. The helmet may have its characteristic visor for complete field of vision during space operations. The chest plate is a seemingly standard MJOLNIR chest plate set with a small and minor attachment. The attachment consists of a small metal plate connected to a piece of black alloy that has several unknown equipment pieces set into it.
 
In the ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' edition of ''Halo 3'', the EVA armor (like all original ''Halo 3'' permutations) is unlocked by default.

===''Halo: Reach'' - GEN1 Mark V===
The Mark V variant features a large visor and bears a striking visual similarity to the SPI helmet. A second EVA helmet, EVA [C], has a skull pattern engraved on the visor. The [C] likely stands for "Custom" or "Carved". The HUL attachments to the EVA[C] helmet appear to be mislabeled: it is mislabeled as CNM in the first upgrade, and then mislabeled as HUL[3] in the second upgrade. These errors are likely related to the [C] variant's attachments having the same names and descriptions as those of the standard variant. The shoulder pauldrons are large and bulky, being several inches thick. The attachments on the sides of the pauldrons found in ''Halo 3'' appear to be built into them, instead of hanging out.
 
All EVA armor types can be unlocked in the ''[[Halo: Reach]]''{{'}}s [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory]] through the game's purchase system via the use of [[Credits|cR]]. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the EVA set is attainable in the [[Season 1: Noble]] progression system.

WG/Facility 58-32/B5D (GEN2)[3]

Type:

MJOLNIR (GEN1)

MJOLNIR (GEN2)
MJOLNIR (GEN3) (Compatible)

Role(s):

Extra-vehicular activity

 

EVA-class Mjolnir (Extra Vehicular Activity), also known as the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant, is a MJOLNIR armor variant produced by the Materials Group. It is designed to improve the survivability of Spartans when performing extra-vehicular activity in the vacuum of space.[4][5]

GEN1 overview[edit]

“ The EVA helmet was developed using data gathered from the Summa Deep Space Incident.[6] ”

Design details[edit]

The EVA variant for the Mark IV still required a T-PACK for maneuvering in zero gravity.[4] The Mark V EVA variant had a shielded visor.[1] The Mark VI EVA variant focuses on increasing exo-atmospheric endurance and improving mobility in zero gravity without the original use of back thrusters.[5] The helmet also contains a single-beam laser TEAMCOM system for communications.[4] The EVA helmet is capable of supporting AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE and AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE Command Network Modules, COURIER PEARL Hardened Uplink and Type C1 UA module.

Development history[edit]

As early as 2525 developmental Mjolnir permutations utilized physical architecture that would eventually be used for EVA.[7] The MJOLNIR/V variant was developed and tested at a UNSC Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility facility in Lister, Aigburth on Ganymede, integrating feedback gathered from the Summa Deep Space Incident.[1][8][2]

The EVA variant has spawned numerous offshoots and is generally renowned for its reliability, ergonomics, and modularity— features to which the design's enduring popularity is often attributed. The GEN1 EVA helmet remained popular as late as 2558 and could still be requisitioned by Spartans for use with their next-generation GEN2 suits.[9] After the first wave of GEN2 systems, based on requests of veteran Spartan-II and Spartan-III operatives, the UNSC Ordnance Commission considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Mark V EVA, specifically the customized suit worn by Emile-A239 complete with the death's head engraving on the visor. This led to the creation of the WRATH-class Mjolnir. In addition, the INDOMITABLE-class Mjolnir's right shoulder pad is based off the Mark V EVA shoulders.[10]

As late as 2560, the GEN1 EVA helmet and shoulders could still be requisitioned by Spartans, upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.[11]

Usage[edit]

On 2531, Kurt-051 used the Mark IV variant of the armor on a mission alongside Blue Team in Construction Platform 966A.[4] A user of the Mark V variant of the armor was Emile-A239, who engraved a death's head on the visor.[1]

Designs[edit]

GEN2 overview[edit]

“ Classic variant of MJOLNIR GEN1 designed for extra-vehicular activity operations.[13] ”

Design details[edit]

The GEN2 EVA armor is similar to its GEN1 counterparts in its design. This variant's helmet uses an open-view visor system typical of EVA configurations. It has 59-L20 Aureole braces in the helmet for awareness improvement.[3] The helmet can also be paired with all milspec hardshell and mechanical counterpressure suits.[14]

The slim-contoured chest plate lowers physical profile dramatically. This variant also uses larger pauldrons than previous models.[3]

Development history[edit]

Due to their long-standing history of investment Materials Group retained the production rights after the Human-Covenant War. It remains the most effective option for Spartan personnel engaged in exoatmospheric and zero-gravity scenarios. It was tested in WG/Facility 58-32/B5D.[3]

Though EVA-class armor is fully compliant with the strictest UNSC specifications for vacuum-rated environment suits, Material Groups has continued to optimize safety and protective features relevant for combat in the harshest microgravity regimes.[14]

Usage[edit]

Spartan Kelly-087 used this armor during Operation: RETRIBUTION on December 2553.[15]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 3 - GEN1 Mark VI[edit]

The EVA armor's helmet is aesthetically similar to the Semi Powered Infiltration (or SPI) armor's helmet. The visor is smaller than the Mark V variant. However, the rim from the jaw down to the chin is thinner, including the breathers, and the back of the head has a quarter-sphere shape. The helmet is also much more rounded than the SPI helmet. The helmet may have its characteristic visor for complete field of vision during space operations. The chest plate is a seemingly standard MJOLNIR chest plate set with a small and minor attachment. The attachment consists of a small metal plate connected to a piece of black alloy that has several unknown equipment pieces set into it.

In the Halo: The Master Chief Collection edition of Halo 3, the EVA armor (like all original Halo 3 permutations) is unlocked by default.

Halo: Reach - GEN1 Mark V[edit]

The Mark V variant features a large visor and bears a striking visual similarity to the SPI helmet. A second EVA helmet, EVA [C], has a skull pattern engraved on the visor. The [C] likely stands for "Custom" or "Carved". The HUL attachments to the EVA[C] helmet appear to be mislabeled: it is mislabeled as CNM in the first upgrade, and then mislabeled as HUL[3] in the second upgrade. These errors are likely related to the [C] variant's attachments having the same names and descriptions as those of the standard variant. The shoulder pauldrons are large and bulky, being several inches thick. The attachments on the sides of the pauldrons found in Halo 3 appear to be built into them, instead of hanging out.

All EVA armor types can be unlocked in the Halo: Reach's Armory through the game's purchase system via the use of cR. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the EVA set is attainable in the Season 1: Noble progression system.

The Halo 4 design of EVA returns in Halo 5: Guardians. The helmet and body armour are unlockable through the Requisition system. The body armor includes the Recon chest and shoulders, the Ricochet forearms and Recruit legs. The GEN2 EVA set has four skins: Hadfield, Leonov, Solovyev, and Zhigang. The Memories of Reach update saw the addition of the WRATH helmet, based on Emile-A239's customized EVA helmet seen in Halo: Reach. The Classic Helmet REQ Pack added the GEN1 Mark V design from Halo: Reach.
