The helmet has a Torque-node component used to distract nearby predators, the base of the node detects levels of gravity-trough scaturiency. The helmet also features extended awareness conduits (ALK-03) which heightens mobility around senior operatives and moving-equipment personnel. The visor has lodged-tracking component 793-VF for improved survivability and maintenance. The chest has 90-RZ java-fuel monitoring software which evaluates current sustainability levels.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Note|Id=Fotus|Fotus throughout this source continues the joke of "acquiring coffee."

FOTUS was created by [[343 Industries (manufacturer)|343 Industries]], by merging loose Forerunner technology and base Mjolnir architecture. It was originally forged at the RTC Facility before being transported to the Willows Complex for durability and survivability testing. At a later point it was tested at [[434 Combat Readiness Lab]] where it was tested extensively in Kirkland's overcast and frigid nine-month winter season.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}

Before full production of the armor could start, engineers required that it meet COUGAR-class safety protocols in an effort to protect it against feral branches of wildlife. These protocols were met and FOTUS armor sets were deployed.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}

*The piece descriptions in MCCs armory continue the ''Halo 4'' version's references:
**"Surprise assault by foam projectiles" in reference to the time-honored tradition of coders and software workers shooting each other with foam darts to let off steam
**The "Seattle Freeze", a widely-held belief in the difficulty of making friends or acquaintances in the Seattle metropolitan area.
**The original factory being "gone, but not forgotten" in reference to 343 Industries moving from their original building to a new one around the time MCC was rolling out.
**Callbacks to both Kirkland, cougars, and coffee.
**Geographically, 343 Industries (and Microsoft itself) is officially located in Redmond, Washington, rather than Kirkland. The distance between them is effectively negligible.
