* '''Titanium alloy outer shell''': The outer shell of the Mjolnir armor is comprised of a fairly thick titanium alloy. This plating covers the chest, arms, hip, legs, calves, feet and hands. This alloy is very resilient, can take significant damage, and is nearly impervious to small arms fire. While enough shots from armor piercing rounds will breach the outer shell, the suit can take a few glancing blows from them without compromising the armor. The outer shell of the all Mjolnir suits is covered with a refractive coating to help disperse the heat experienced from Covenant energy weapons. However one or two direct hits from any Plasma weapon will compromise the armor plating. | * '''Titanium alloy outer shell''': The outer shell of the Mjolnir armor is comprised of a fairly thick titanium alloy.

* '''Titanium nanocomposite bodysuit''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a thick black armored bodysuit. This suit has numerous functions, small but vital to the safety and survival of the wearer. The bodysuit is made of a titanium-based material, making it very strong and yet very flexible. It also serves as another layer of protection against ballistics attacks and is coated with a heat resistant material to disperse heat from plasma weapons. | * '''Titanium nanocomposite bodysuit''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a thick black armored bodysuit.

* '''[[Hydrostatic gel]]''': Underneath the armored bodysuit is a gel-filled layer, this gel layer regulates the temperature of the suit and can re actively change its density to conform to the wearer's shape - the temperature inside the suit is controlled by the moisture absorbing cloth suit underneath the hydrostatic layer.

The hydrostatic gel layer can also be pressurized to various levels to potentially save the wearers life should the wearer be subjected to high G forces or a high velocity impact; however, over-pressurizing this layer can cause [[wikipedia:nitrogen embolism|nitrogen embolism]]s.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''' ''Page 13''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''' ''Chapter 1, page 36''</ref> | ||
* '''[[Polymerized lithium niobocene|Reactive metal liquid crystal layer]]''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a layer of piezoelectric material that deforms along a preferred axis when exposed to an electric charge. This layer acts as synthetic muscle, allowing the Spartan access to approximately five times their unarmored strength when using the Mark VI due to new optimization of the crystalline geometries.<ref name= "H4EG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 157''</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|ENC91}} | * '''[[Polymerized lithium niobocene|Reactive metal liquid crystal layer]]''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a layer of piezoelectric material that deforms along a preferred axis when exposed to an electric charge.

* '''Memory-processor superconductor layer''': A layer relatively new to the Mjolnir line, introduced with the Mark V, that is capable of housing an AI. Comprised of the same material as a starship's AI system, this layer allows an AI to travel with a soldier into the field. The AI can then aid the soldier in software intrusion, hardware hacking, and espionage by listening to enemy chatter.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''Page 286''</ref> | * '''Memory-processor superconductor layer''': A layer relatively new to the Mjolnir line, introduced with the Mark V, that is capable of housing an AI.
