The Scout Armor is a type of United Nations Space Command body armor.
Introduction
The Scout is a variant of the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR powered battle armor. The armor uses advance materials to give it stealth attributes. It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.
Development and History
Head: As with the RECON variant the goal was to improve the armor's stealth capabilities with no impact on endurance; however, the SCOUT variant relies more heavily on advanced materials.
Shoulders: The SCOUT and RECON projects were run as parallel projects intended to develop a single variant of the Mjolnir Powered Assualt Armor with stealth capabilities.
Body: The Mjolnir VI/S variant was developed and tested alongside the RECON variant at the ONI's Ordnance Testing Facility [B5D] at Swanbourne, Perth, Australia.

Trivia
- Though originally assumed to be an original armor, dubbed the fifth Unknown Armor, the fact they are the same one was confirmed by incredibly similar design and the fact there is a Tenth armor confirmed by gameplay, the Marathon Armor. however its helmet is less squared off, it has a thicker band of armor around the chin, it's visor is not as V shaped and it has a area of black armor where the 'point' of the V would be.
- In the official Halo 3 stratagy guide it lists that the sholders are unlocked by unlocking the We’re in for some Chop acheivement. This is however incorrect.
