The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/G, also known as Grenadier, is a variant of the MJOLNIR Mark IV Powered Assault Armor.

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

This variant was a test bed for incorporating energy shielding technology with the MJOLNIR program. The helmet features an up-armored configuration with heads-up software that adjusts to combat situations that improves the user's performance and suitability. It is equipped with blast-guard pauldrons.[1] The Grenadier helmet can support the addition of AN/PZY-6011Y TYPHON and AN/PZY-6011Y TYPHON Command Network Modules, and a Type E3 UA module. The Grenadier chestpiece is additionally fitted with a VAUNTLOCK power pack - which is capable of powering the suit's shields should the suit's fusion reactor fail.

Development history[edit]

The Mark IV [G] prototype[Note 1] was introduced just over a decade after Mjolnir entered service.[1] Intended to provide additional protection from concussive force, the Mark IV [G] helmet is an up-armored version of the first Mark IV prototypes,[1] with an expensive lightweight composite shell.[2] The [G] variant served as the basis for all subsequent supplemental armor development programs; it is compatible with later models such as the Mark V. The [G] variant served as a test bed for incorporating energy shielding technology with the MJOLNIR program,[3] although these tests were ultimately unsuccessful;[4] energy shielding had previously been tested as of 2531.[5][Note 2]

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 Grenadier suit. This led to the creation of the INDOMITABLE-class Mjolnir.[6] As late as 2560, GEN1 Grenadier could still be requisitioned by Spartans, upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.[7]

Usage[edit]

This variant saw limited use as other variants filled the same role instead. Jorge-052 wore a variant of the Grenadier helmet with the UA (Up-Armored) attachment, as well as the knee guards, left shoulder, and UA chest piece.[1]

In-game information[edit]

Halo: Reach[edit]

"The Mk. IV [G] variant is an up-armored prototype based on the basic Mk. IV helmet."

All Grenadier armor types in the Armory are unlockable in the game's purchase system via the use of cR. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the Grenadier set is attainable in the Season 1: Noble progression system. Due to its adoption from the customized armor of Jorge-052, the Grenadier [UA] chest plate has his Spartan tag "052" written on the collar.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Although the Halo: Reach Armory consistently describes the [G] variant itself as a prototype, Halo: The Essential Visual Guide makes no mention of this, instead stating that GRENADIER is derived from the first Mark IV helmet prototypes. While the book's description may stem from a misinterpretation of the original source, both are represented in this article since they do not contradict one another.
  2. ^ "Energy shielding was a key feature of Mark V, although other Spartan squads had field-tested prototypes of this technology as early as 2531."
  3. ^ UA/Type JOR in Season 01: Heroes of Reach.
