MIRAGE-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor derived from the Semi-Powered Infiltration armor.[2][1]

GEN1 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The MIRAGE armor takes the form of SPI suits designed for the SPARTAN-III program, upgraded to MJOLNIR standards intended to be employed by any Spartan generation. Once the standard helmet of SPI armor, MIRAGE-class Mjolnir makes use of an upgraded MIRAGE-class helmet. The gauntlets are designed as a refinement of the RIFT-class force amplification gauntlets. Overall, the suit is light and resilient, though considered not as robust as the MJOLNIR program's efforts. However, it is able to be manufactured at a fraction of the price while meeting the same basic performance requirements.[1]

IIC overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

In-keeping with the theme of cost-effectiveness, the Mirage IIC builds on the foundation of the GEN1 Mirage and Semi-Powered Infiltration armor program. Some helmets compromise the full range of GEN3 capabilities, significantly reducing their cost, complexity, and the augmentation requirements of the operator.[3] All this results in a multi-role powered assault armor that meets baseline GEN3 Mjolnir standards.[4] Mirage IIC's reactor is built into the techsuit, being covered by the chestpiece.[5]

Usage[edit]

The Mirage IIC armor was worn by Spartans Jaarov and Zhinn during the Battle of Suban in 2560.

Halo Infinite[edit]

The Mirage IIC armor core and helmet were unlocked by default upon the launch of Season 03: Echoes Within, the third season of Halo Infinite multiplayer. Customization options for the Mirage IIC core were unlocked by reaching levels within the Echoes Within battle pass or purchasing various bundles from the Halo Infinite in-game shop. This armor core would see new customization options added with the release of Season 05: Reckoning, and the Snowbound, Frontlines, and Shadows operations would also focus on Mirage-themed cosmetics.
