Template:Armor Infobox Template:Article Quote SCANNER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2) developed by the Materials Group.[1]
Overview
The helmet features a SV module called the LCX-20V1 SinoViet sight-augmentation module for extreme-range reconnaissance. It doesn't mitigate operability, and can be slid back into a passive mode above the users parietal plate. The helmet also has a low-set, concave rebreather apparatus.[2]
The helmet also features several sensor capabilities and user-adjustable settings that are not yet compatible with standard VISR hardware.[3]
Development history
It was manufactured by the Materials Group and tested at the Damascus Testing Facility. Over several years Materials was balancing out the needs of personnel for search-and-rescue operations, appropriatiely fine-tuning individual components like the long range sensors and large toolsets like armor-fixed rescue implements.[2] It was designed for the facilitation of search-and-rescue strike teams protecting ONI personnel, critical government and military personalties from capture by Insurrection forces.[4]
Usage
The armor is widely recognized as the best Mjolnir suit available for high value target and hostage recovery operations.[3]
In-game information

Unlock: Unlocked by getting the War Games Map Pass. It is also available in the Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition.
- Description: Produced by the Materials Group primarily for search-and-rescue outfits.

- Helmet description: The SCANNER helmet features a number of sensor capabilities and user-adjustable settings that are not yet compatible with standard VISR hardware.
- Body description: The SCANNER is widely recognized as the best Mjolnir suit available for high value target and hostage recovery operations, though it is technically classified as a search-and-rescue variant.
Trivia
- In Halo 4, Scanner is one of four helmet-only armor sets alongside the Locus, Deadeye, and Strider helmets.
- It is an exclusive to both the Limited Edition and the stand-alone War Games Map Pass along with Strider helmet and the in-game Falcon Emblem.[5][6]
- Without the scope attachment, as shown in the concept art, the Scanner helmet would have born a strong resemblance to the Mark V version of the Commando variant helmet, more so than the GEN2 version.
- In Halo 5: Guardians, the Scanner armor is the same as the Soldier armor
