Argus-class Mjolnir also has highly advanced cyberlink connections and cyberintrusion software that helps it collect information.[3]

As of 2558, Linda-058 wore the GEN2 Argus suit.[1]

Trivia

  • The ARGUS-class MJOLNIR is named after Argus Panoptes, an all-seeing giant with one hundred eyes. This could also compliment the helmet's design, as it appears to have multiple types of optical equipment attached to it.
  • The Arestor skin is named after Argus' father.
  • All Argus armors in Halo 5: Guardians have "058" stenciled on the chest plate in Braille.
  • In the final version of Halo 5: Guardians, Linda's GEN2 Argus armor has the techsuit gloves in two colors (beige and orange), in the same two-tone coloring scheme as Kelly-087's Hermes (light silver and yellow) and Frederic-104's Centurion armors (pale blue and turquoise).
