CBRN module
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The CBRN module, short for the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear module, is an external attachment for several MJOLNIR Mark V and [GEN3] helmets.[1][2]
Usage
The CBRN modules are employed for operations in hazard zones, wherein chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats are present.[3] They are typically worn on the "mouth" area of the given helmet.
Known modules
The CBRN module has four observed modules, each with its own distinct physical appearance.
MK55
Manufactured by Imbrium Machine Complex, the MK55 module is a filter attachment used during extended operations in environments contaminated by chemical agents, radionuclides, and biological hazards.[4]
The MK55 module has been observed to be compatible with the following helmets:
MK59E GLANCE
Manufactured by Imbrium Machine Complex, the MK59E GLANCE module is designed for hazardous operations in the tainted atmosphere of damaged space station and warships. The MK59E GLANCE module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the AVIATOR-class Mjolnir helmet.[9]
EOD-style module
This EOD-style 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.[10]
This module has been observed to be compatible with the following helmets:
AKIS-style module
The AKIS-style module was developed in parallel to the AKIS helmet, and has only been observed as compatible to the AKIS helmet.[12]
Gameplay
The CBRN modules serve as cosmetics and have no impact on gameplay.
Halo: Reach
Two of the CBRN modules 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 module added in Season 5: Anvil.

"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.
