MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V[J]

All three permutations of the JFO helmet.

The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V[J] is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. It was designed and tested at the Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme facility in Essen, Germany for use with the Mark V MJOLNIR armor.[1]

Characteristics

Helmet

Price: 60,000 cR
The JFO helmet appears in the armory upon reaching the rank of Warrant Officer, but is not unlocked until Lieutenant Colonel.[1]

Two upgrades are available for the helmet. The first adds a Hardened Uplink Module-Improved, (HUL-I), and the second adds an Up-Armor plate (UA).[1]

The helmet features a large visor, shaped like a shield or a fattened "T", and has two small air intakes on the cheek areas. Overall, the helmet provides significant armor coverage, protecting the majority of the head while maintaining a large field of vision.

Shoulders

Price: 1,000 cR
The JFO shoulder pauldrons are available from the beginning of the game.[1]

The shoulder pieces are semi-circular arches that jut outwards from the shoulders. They also feature black, two-pronged protrusions that point parallel to the arm, and away from the hands.

Attachments

HUL-I (20,000 cR)

The Hardened Uplink Module-Improved, (HUL-I), is an upgraded variant of the standard issue Hardened Uplink Module. In-game, the HUL-I is available only for the JFO helmet.

UA (10,000 cR)

An Up-Armor (UA) plate is available for the JFO, Mark IV(G), MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V(B), and Mark V helmets. It increases the wearer's protection against various weapons and explosions.[1]

Trivia

  • JFO stands for Joint Fires Observer, a United States military designation for troops who coordinate fire support from land-based artillery and naval gun formations, as well as close air support.
  • The visor of the JFO helmet somewhat resembles the faceplate of the Marvel Comics character Iron Man.
  • The shape of the helmet and the large visor also give it something of a resemblance to the helmets worn by NMPD officers.
