The MJOLNIR Mark VI Rogue Variant.

The Mark VI(A) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armour, otherwise known as the Rogue Helmet, is a United Nations Space Command Armor variant.

Introduction

The Rogue Helmet is a variant of the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR powered battle armor. It is an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. This armor permutation, like all others, has no effect on gameplay and is purely aesthetic.

Development and History

The Mark VI(A) armour was the first of the "privatized" variants, manufactured by private industrial firms. With the fall of the Outer Colonies, the UNSC called upon private industry to manufacture classified war material.

Characteristics

Helmet Characteristics

The helmet has one small visor that resembles a pair of sunglasses, rather than the normal and typical MJOLNIR Mark VI visor. The mouth-guard appears longer and thicker with an added "hole" in the center of the mouthpiece, and it also appears to be added-on plating rather than an actual mouth-guard. The top of the helmet, which has been mistaken for the "stealth" helmet, is much more rounded as well. The mouth guard rounds, shapes, and cups into a circular black piece in front of the mouth that forms the aforementioned "hole," and notice the fact that there are no specific shoulders.

Shoulder Characteristics

This armour permutation has no shoulder padding.

Chest Characteristics

This armour permutation has no chest plating.

Unlock
