Template:Armor Infobox The Nightfall armor is a hostile environment variant of the ODST armor worn by Office of Naval Intelligence operatives.[1] A variant of the armor designed for the MJOLNIR [GEN2] platform is available for use by Spartans.[2]

Overview

Developed at the Special Warfare Center in Seongnam, Korea, Nightfall combines elements of standard Marine Corps body armor, ODST combat armor, and MJOLNIR.[3] The armor is powered to some extent and is able to effectively negate the impact of a substantial fall during a deployment from a dropship, for example.[4]

Spartans recruited from the Marine Corps favor Nightfall armor when stationed on inhospitable worlds due to its best-in-class life support.[2] Cascade Stronghold Technology, the company that ported the ODST armor to MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2], is also responsible for creating the MJOLNIR GEN 2 version of the Nightfall armor.[1] Major differences include a data crystal chip port on the back of the helmet (much like those featured on the Mark V and later MJOLNIR iterations) and a camera integrated into the brim of the helmet (which consequently extends farther over the faceplate). The helmet's visor is retractable and contains a sophisticated VISR suite capable of identifying and analyzing objects in the environment.[4]
