Nightfall armor
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Armor Infobox The Nightfall armor is a powered combat suit worn by Office of Naval Intelligence operatives.[1] Developed at the Special Warfare Center in Seongnam, Korea, Nightfall combines elements of standard Marine Corps body armor, ODST combat armor, and MJOLNIR.[2] The armor is powered to some extent and is able to effectively negate the impact of a substantial fall during a deployment from a dropship, for example.[3] A variant of the armor compatible with MJOLNIR [GEN2] is available for use by SPARTAN-IVs.[1]
Spartans recruited from the Marine Corps favor Nightfall armor when stationed on inhospitable worlds due to its best-in-class life support.[1] The kit looks very similar to the armor worn by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, though its relation to the ODST armor's MJOLNIR [GEN2] variant is unclear. Major differences include a data crystal chip port on the back of the helmet (much like those featured and the Mark V and later MJOLNIR iterations) and a camera integrated into the brim of the helmet (which consequently extends farther over the faceplate). The helmet's visor is retractable and contains a sophisticated VISR suite capable of identifying and analyzing objects in the environment.[3]
