ARGUS-class Mjolnir is a MJOLNIR armor variant designed by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Watershed Division.[1]

GEN1 overview[edit]

Development history[edit]

By October 2552, a Mark VI variant of the armor was available.[4]

Usage[edit]

When the Spartan-IIs received their Mark VI Mjolnir armor in October 2552, Linda-058 was outfitted with the Argus variant.[4]

GEN2 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The GEN2 Argus-class armor is the most advanced human-centric information fusion system ever placed in a mobile platform.[2] It has a sophisticated battlenet control node that provides situation and threat awareness in all environments. Argus-class Mjolnir also has highly advanced cyberlink connections and cyberintrusion software that helps it collect information.[3]

This variant would also possess a distinct "058" stenciled on the chest plate in Braille; an identifying trait that was present across Blue Team's [GEN2] armor.

Development history[edit]

The GEN2 variant was developed by the Watershed Division.[1]

Usage[edit]

As of 2558, Linda-058 wore the GEN2 Argus suit.[1]

GEN3 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The GEN3 platform refinement and miniaturization made possible to streamline the Argus hardware, while its VISR information fusion and filtering capabilities were enhanced thanks to Dr. Halsey's personal software tweaks.[5]

Development history[edit]

GEN3 Argus was developed and tested in September 2559 aboard Perihelion Station.[6]

Usage[edit]

Linda-058 tested the GEN3 Argus for the first time in September 21, 2559.[6] She then use it in combat during Operation: WOLFE a few weeks later.

In-game information[edit]

Halo 5: Guardians[edit]

Argus was introduced in Halo 5: Guardians as an armor permutation unlockable via the Requisition system. Like Centurion and Hermes, the armor acts as a faithful recreation of Linda-058's armor within Halo 5's campaign. It features one solitary skin: Arestor.
