Venator - Armor - Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Template:Armor Infobox Template:Article Quote The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Venator is a variant of the GEN2 utilized by SPARTAN-IVs.^[1].

Development history

The MJOLNIR/Venator variant was manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial as their flagship product.^[2] The Venator armor gained prominence during the Covenant's attack on Concord for its improvement of user opportunity in hand-to-hand and single-enemy combat.^[1] After the Requiem Campaign, Lethbridge Industrial improved the Venator's power management subsystem and reduced it's maintenance requierements. By October 2558, the armor's firmware incorporated a generalization of predictive targeting algorithms originally created to assist new Spartans in close-quarters combat.^[3]

"Venator" is Latin for "hunter".
The Venator helmet bears a great deal of resemblance to that of the Advanced Suit from the Dead Space series.

In Halo Online, the Venator armor is wrongly called "Stealth armor" instead.
The three skins for Venator armor in Halo 5: Guardians are named after three types of gladiators.
