CINDER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR [GEN2] armor designed for use by Spartan special containment teams.[1]
Overview
CINDER armor features thermal superconducting coatings and a reinforced shock-absorbing gel layer to mitigate the risk of using thermobaric and incendiary weapons at close range. Additionally, the CINDER helmet features a full suite of lab-grade chemsniffers and hazmat filters.[1] This makes the CINDER armor variant perfect for operation with the M7057 flamethrower.
