Variants

The CBRN module has three observed variants, each with its own distinct physical appearance.

Standard variant

The standard variant is single-piece rebreather covering the "mouth" area of the given helmet.

EOD-style variant

The EOD-style variant of the CBRN module is a pair of filter attachments on either side of the helmet. It is employed on the standard Mark V EOD-class Mjolnir helmet, but it could be removed for other helmet attachments.TEMPLATE ERROR: Template using invalid/disallowed fields: "sectionlinktext", "section"[9]

AKIS-style variant

AKIS-style variant was developed in parallel to the AKIS helmet, and has only been observed as compatible to the AKIS helmet.[10]

Gameplay

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

Halo: Reach

The first two variants of the CBRN Module 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 CBRN-attached helmets are unlockable in Season 1: Noble, while the AKIS-style variant added in Season 5: Anvil.

Halo Infinite

A variant of the CBRN module will be available on the Commando helmet in Halo Infinite.[2]

Production notes

"CBRN" stands for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear, and is pronounced "C-BURN". It is the same abbreviation used in real life, hence its association with the HAZOP armor permutation.
