The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V[B]''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]].

==Background==
Along with the [[Mark V(m) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mark V[M]]] and [[Mark VI(A) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mark VI[A]]] variants, the Mark V[B] is designed and manufactured by private organizations hired by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the UNSC specifically, due to numerous problems with funding. On [[2551|November 24, 2551]], the initial Mark V model entered service; the Mark V[B] was given exclusively to members of [[Special Warfare Command|SPECWAR]] [[Special Warfare Group Three|Group Three]]. [[Thom-293]] of [[NOBLE Team]] wore a full set of Mark V[B] armor.<ref>''Deliver Hope''</ref>

The Mark V[B] helmet's external design can be traced back to a variant of the first-generation Mark IV. [[Fred-104]] wore such a helmet during the [[Battle of Circinius IV]] in [[2526]].<ref>''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''</ref><!--There is no proof that Fred's helmet is a Mark IV[B]. Don't call it that.--> Similarly, the [[:File:MarkIV model.jpg|original Mark IV helmet]] was later modified for the second-generation Mark V and [[:File:FUD-Master-Chief.jpg|another Mark IV variant]] served as the basis of the Mark VI.

==Gameplay characteristics==
The helmet is the only component of the Mark V[B] that has been named and identified in the armory. The rest of the default suit of armor is the first generation of the Mark V with the second and final generation of the Mark V seen in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 119''</ref>

===Helmet===
'''Price:''' N/A (Default)<br />
The Mark V[B] helmet is similar to the standard Mark V MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, with a few key differences. The helmet has a sleeker design, resembling both the standard Mark V helmet and the [[ODST Ballistic Battle Armor|ODST helmet]], and seems to be somewhat of a combination of the two. Whilst the rear of the helmet is similar to the Mark V, the front strongly resembles the ODST helmet's triangular jaw guard and rounded top, with a flatter visor shape.

This helmet is the starting helmet for all players, and is purchased and equipped by default. Currently, there are two upgrades available for the Mark V[B] helmet; the UA (up-armored) upgrade for 750 cR (This is a combination of both of the Beta upgrades); and the UA/HUL, for 1500 cR, which adds an [[External Hardened Uplink]] to the right side of the helmet, redesigned from the Beta.

==Trivia==
*In the ''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta, there were two upgrades available for the Mark V[B] helmet. An [[External Command Network Module]] or "CNM", standard issue to [[UNSC Special Forces|Special Forces]] unit commanders (1000 cR), and an [[External Hardened Uplink]] or "HUL", required for sensitive operations (5000 cR).<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]''', ''Armory''</ref> The CNM and HUL attachments as seen in the Beta were merged into a single attachment, the UA upgrade, for the final game. The HUL is now an additional camera/sensor-like attachment on the side of the helmet, rather than being located on the top.
*While both the Mark V[B] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/FJ/PARA variant|FJ/PARA]] shoulder pauldrons were present in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]], the Mark V[B] shoulders were changed to the FJ/PARA variant in the final game. Currently, the Mark V[B] has no shoulder pauldron permutations.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WD0RK578PY '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Reach - The Armory Montage'']</ref><ref>[http://www.spawn.com/news/news6.aspx?id=13704 '''SPAWN.COM''': ''HALO: REACH SERIES 2 ANNOUNCED'']</ref>
*The UA attachment from the beta strongly resembles the classic MJOLNIR sun visor, seen on both the Mark V and Mark VI helmets.
*In the marketing campaign for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', an exclusive armor piece would be given to players who pre-ordered the game. During this time the armor piece was known as the "UA/Multi-Threat Mark V[B]." Any relation of this armor piece to the Mark V [B] is absent in the game.
*In ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'', Fred-104's helmet resembles the Mark V[B]'s. In the real world, this is because the production team reused [[Thom-293]]'s Mark V[B] helmet from the ''Deliver Hope'' short.

-==GEN1 Overview==
+==Background==
-===Design details===
+Along with the [[Mark V(m) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mark V[M]]] and [[Mark VI(A) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mark VI[A]]] variants, the Mark V[B] is designed and manufactured by private organizations hired by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the UNSC specifically, due to numerous problems with funding. On [[2551|November 24, 2551]], the initial Mark V model entered service; the Mark V[B] was given exclusively to members of [[Special Warfare Command|SPECWAR]] [[Special Warfare Group Three|Group Three]]. [[Thom-293]] of [[NOBLE Team]] wore a full set of Mark V[B] armor.<ref>''Deliver Hope''</ref>
-While its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV[B], the Mark V[B] was the first mainline model of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] to incorporate [[energy shielding]] technology.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012910|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 01.29.10|D=15|M=01|Y=2021}} The Mark V[B] is largely similar to the final version of the Mark V. The only major difference between the two is the [B] variant's lack of an accompanying upgrade to the wearer's [[neural interface|neural lace]] enabling the wearer to interface with a [[smart AI]]. This did not come to fruition until [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] successfully tested the final Mark V on [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=enc}}{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=119}}

-The Mark V[B] was manufactured by private organizations contracted by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the [[Materials Group]] as was typical for most other Mjolnir designs. The development of Mark V[B] was conducted in secret, with its prototypes tested by [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} The physical architecture of two later MJOLNIR variants, the GEN1 [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] prototype and the GEN2 [[DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir]], closely resembled the design of Mark V[B]. As late as [[2560]], the Mark V[B] armor could still be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}
-At some point, development had begun on the Mark VII [B]. By 2560, the UA/Arethor supplemental shoulder pads designed alongside the Mark VII [B] were adapted for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] armor.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HIArethor}}

-The Mark IV[B]'s first known use was by [[Frederic-104]] during an operation against [[Insurrectionist]]s sometime before the [[Battle of Circinius IV]] on [[2526#April|April 26, 2526]]. Fred continued to wear the armor during this battle when [[Blue Team]] was sent to evacuate the survivors from the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]].{{Ref/Film|Film=Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn}} The Mark V[B] entered service with the [[Spartan-II]]s and select [[Spartan-III]]s on [[2551|November 24, 2551]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=enc}} The Mark V[B] helmet's only adopter was [[Special Warfare Command|SPECWAR]] [[Special Warfare Group Three|Group Three]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Armory|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=Mark V[B] helmet description}} Mark V[B] was the standard Mjolnir variant issued to Spartans assigned to SPECWAR Group Three, including [[NOBLE Team]]. While most members of NOBLE Team modified their Mark V[B] suits to varying extents, [[Thom-A293]] wore a mostly unaltered set of Mark V[B] armor during the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Fumirole|attack]] on [[Fumirole]].<ref>''[[Deliver Hope]]''</ref> Thom's replacement, [[SPARTAN-B312]], also wore a largely unaltered set of Mark V[B] armor.<ref>[[:File:Noble Surveillance.jpg|SWORD Base surveillance still of NOBLE Team]]</ref> A replica of B312's helmet was later hosted for display in the [[Outpost Discovery]] program, following the war's end.<ref name="HOD">''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'', [[Hall of History]]</ref>

Whilst the rear of the helmet is similar to the Mark V, the front strongly resembles the ODST helmet's triangular jaw guard and rounded top, with a flatter visor shape.
-Because the Mark V[B] helmet was not used outside SPECWAR Group Three, the standard helmet worn with the Mark V[B] was instead based on the architecture of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Initial production model|original Mark IV]] model.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Armory}} This would later be used as the basis of the final iteration of the Mark V helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}

+File:FUD-Fred-104.jpg|Fred-104's Mark IV variant helmet, which later served as the basis for the Mark V[B]'s design.<ref group="note">In ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]'', Kelly and Fred's Mk. IV MJOLNIR suits appear to be repurposed from the Mk. V MJOLNIR props used in the ''[[Deliver Hope]]'' short; Kelly appears to be wearing a modified and repainted version of Kat's AA helmet, whereas Fred appears to be wearing Thom's Mk. V [B] helmet. These design choices are likely examples of artistic license and/or budget constraints.</ref>
