==Variants==
==Variants==
The HUL has three observed variants. The modularity of the MJOLNIR armor has made it possible to attach multiple modules on the helmet. In cases where a HUL and a [[External Command Network Module|Command Network Module (CNM)]] are both employed, the configurations are designated "FC", "FC-I", and "FC-I[2]" depending on the HUL variant.

Variants

The HUL has three observed variants, each with its own distinct physical appearance. The modularity of the MJOLNIR armor has made it possible to attach multiple modules on the helmet. In cases where a HUL and a Command Network Module (CNM) are both employed, the configurations are designated "FC", "FC-I", and "FC-I[2]" depending on the HUL variant.

Gameplay

The HUL and its variants serve as cosmetics and have no impact on gameplay.

Halo: Reach

All three variants of the HUL are available as attachments on several helmets in the armor permutations of Halo: Reach. The device is priced at different levels of Credits, depending on the base helmets. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the same HUL-attached helmets are unlockable in Season 1: Noble.

Production notes

The CQC helmet with the "camera" CNM variant erroneously labelled as "HUL" in the Beta.
  • During the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the "camera" variant of the CNM on the CQC helmet, along with UA attachment on the Mark V[B] helmet, was labelled as HUL. Both helmet attachments costed 5,000 credits.
  • In the final release of Halo: Reach, four mislabeled helmet attachments involved the HUL:
    • The standard HUL variant mislabeled as the CNM on the EVA[C] helmet.
    • The standard HUL variant mislabeled as the UA/HUL[3] on the EVA[C] helmet.
    • The standard HUL variant mislabeled as the HUL-I on the Recon helmet.
    • The "Camera" CNM variant mislabeled as the UA/HUL-I on the Mark VI helmet.
