The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant''', more commonly known as '''Extra-Vehicular Activity Armor''' and usually referred to by the acronym '''EVA Armor''', is a type of [[United Nations Space Command]] body armor. The EVA armor is a variant of the standard [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mark IV]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|VI]] powered assault armors; specialized to improve survivability of [[SPARTAN-II]]s when performing [[extra-vehicular activity]] in vacuum.<ref name="goo">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 57</ref><ref name="h3">'''[[Halo 3]]''' Armor Description</ref> This armor should not be confused with the [[Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor]] used by the [[Spartan-III]]s. | The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant''', more commonly known as '''Extra-Vehicular Activity Armor''' and usually referred to by the acronym '''EVA Armor''', is a type of [[United Nations Space Command]] body armor.

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 V variant for the Mark IV still required a [[T-PACK]] for maneuvering in zero gravity.<ref name="goo"/> The Mark VI MJOLNIR/V variant focuses on increasing exo-atmospheric endurance and improving mobility in zero gravity without the original use of back thrusters.<ref name="h3"/> | 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]].

Two uprades are availible for the [C] variant of the helmet as well, the first adds a Hardened Uplink Module on the right side (incorrectly called CNM) (CNM, should be HUL), and the second adds an Up-Armor plate with a Hardened Uplink Module on the right side (incorrectly called HUL[3]) (UA/HUL[3], should be UA/HUL). These errors likely have something to do with the [C] variant's attachments having the same names and descriptions as the standard variant. | Two uprades are availible for the [C] variant of the helmet as well, the first adds a Hardened Uplink Module on the right side (incorrectly called CNM) (CNM, should be HUL), and the second adds an Up-Armor plate with a Hardened Uplink Module on the right side (incorrectly called HUL[3]) (UA/HUL[3], should be UA/HUL).
