The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant, colloquially known as the Close Quarters Battle (CQB) armor, is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor manufactured by Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme.[1][2][3][4]

GEN1 overview

Specifications

The CQB variant specializes in the improvement of survivability in close quarters engagements, this was done in the dispersal of kinetic energy, by looking at alternate methods to disperse the kinetic energy versus momentum transferred by a Spartan during combat. In addition the CQB's armor components are designed to optimize joint mobility in close quarters, and have an improved field of view.[1][2][3][8]

Although CQB surpasses CQC in overall integration, the variant's ability to allow ad hoc modifications is limited in comparison.[1][9]

Development history

As early as 2525 developmental Mjolnir permutations utilized physical architecture that would eventually be used for CQB.[10][11] Samuel-034 used such a variant during the Battle of Chi Ceti[12] and Daisy-023 used a similar variant.[13]

When evaluating different opportunities to improve MJOLNIR across an assortment of engagement types, German-based Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme proposed two distinctive variants CQC and CQB with one focus. Using data gathered from the UNSC's campaign on Jericho VII, that focus was to further improve the survivability in close quarter engagements.[1][2][3][4][5][9]

GEN2 overview

GEN2 compatibility

As late as 2558, the GEN1 CQB helmet could be requisitioned by Spartans for use with their GEN2 Mjolnir suits.[6]

In-game information

Halo 3 - Mark VI GEN1

The CQB armor permutation is one of the default unlocked armor sets available in Halo 3.

MCC: CQB variants of the Mjolnir Mark VI have enhanced kinetic dispersal layers and improved joint mobility.

Halo: Reach - Mark V GEN1

"The MJOLNIR/C variant was developed and tested at UNSC facilities in Esson and Songnam, respectively."

The CQB helmet is available as an unlockable helmet armor permutation in Halo: Reach. Alongside the Military Police helmet and UA/Base Security [W] chest, it cannot be unlocked in Halo: Reach through regular in-game means. Instead, it is unlocked by completing achievements for Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST and career milestones on Halo Waypoint. Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services in December 2021, this achievement will no longer be attainable.[15]

The helmet is unlockable as part of Season 1: Noble in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
