Breach attachments
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
"Breach" covers a series of supplemental armour attachments designed for use with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI suite.[2]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
Breach attachments take the form of various up-armour configurations for the Mark VI armour suit. They incorporate additional armour for the visor, alongside various additional external attachments. Two known configurations exist;
- Link: Incorporates an AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE Command Network Module, alongside various additional armour upgrades.[3]
- Scout: Incorporates an AN/PZY-990T STARLIGHT remote sensor on the side of the helmet, alongside various additional armour upgrades.[4]
Development history[edit]
The "Breach" development program was initiated close to the close of the Human-Covenant War, during the era between the introduction of the Mark VI platform and the full production of the GEN2 platform. They were field-tested by Team Omega to successful results, ultimately resulting in developments later applied to the full GEN2 and GEN3 production runs.[2]
In-game information[edit]
The Breach helmet attachments are available for unlock as helmet options in Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer. They were added to Halo: The Master Chief Collection in the Series 9 update.[5][6]

To create "A", the player must combine the Breach Scout helmet, the TAC/SRV-III shoulders, and the UA/KOTIN chest piece. To create "B", the player must combine the Breach Link helmet, the UA/WAYLAND shoulders, and the UA/GRT78 chest piece.[7]
