ARDENT-class Mjolnir is a MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor helmet variant, designed for the MJOLNIR Mark IV platform.[1]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The Ardent helmet presumably comes in two forms: a variant manufactured by the United Nations Space Command and a variant recreated by the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire while on Installation 00.[1][2][Note 1]
The Ardent helmet is compatible with the TAS/FES/BRONTES attachment, which—in the case of the Ardent helmet built aboard the Spirit of Fire—consists of a field-expedient combination of spare parts, Office of Naval Intelligence "BRONTES" firmware, and reused up-links designed by the Smart AI Isabel. The attachment provides the equipped Spartans on Installation 00 with a direct connection to the Spirit of Fire's targeting array.[3]
Development history[edit]
A variant of the Ardent helmet was developed for use with the MJOLNIR Mark IV platform aboard the UNSC Spirit of Fire, combining components forged on Installation 00 with traditional UNSC minifacturing.[1]
Usage[edit]
By 2560, Spartan-II August-099 of Omega Team wore an Ardent helmet.[2][4][Note 2]
In-game information[edit]
Halo Infinite[edit]
The Ardent helmet is available for multiplayer Spartan armor customization in Halo Infinite. Introduced during Spirit of Fire as one of the major Shop offers for the operation, Ardent and its associated components are available primarily for the Mark IV armor core.
