The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/B variant''' refers to two distinct sub-models of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], created for the [[Mark IV]] and [[Mark V]] generations;<ref name="HWFred">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/frederic-104 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Frederic-104'']</ref> the latter iteration of the [B] variant served as the initial production model of the Mark V MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.<ref name="enc">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 94'' (2011 edition)</ref> The Mark IV[B]'s first known use was by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Fred-104]] during the [[Battle of Circinius IV]] on [[2526#April|April 26, 2526]],<ref>''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''</ref> while the Mark V[B] entered service with the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] and select [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] on [[2551|November 24, 2551]].<ref name="enc"/>

==Background==
The first mainline model of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR PAA]] to incorporate [[energy shielding]] technology, the Mark V[B] is largely similar to the final version of the Mark V. The only major difference between the two is the [B] variant's lack of an accompanying upgrade to the wearer's [[neural interface|neural lace]] enabling the wearer to interface with a [[smart AI]]. This did not come to fruition until [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] successfully tested the final Mark V on [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]].<ref name="enc"/>

Along with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant|Mark V[M]]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/A variant|Mark VI[A]]] variants, the Mark V[B] is designed and manufactured by private organizations hired by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the [[Materials Group]] due to numerous problems with funding. The Mark V[B] was the default armor set issued to members of [[Special Warfare Command|SPECWAR]] [[Special Warfare Group Three|Group Three]], including [[NOBLE Team]]. While most members of the team modified their Mark V[B] suits to varying extents, [[Thom-A293]] wore a full, unaltered set of Mark V[B] armor.<ref>''Deliver Hope''</ref>

The Mark V[B] helmet's only adopter was SPECWAR Group Three.<ref name="Armory">[http://www.readyuplive.com/forum/showthread.php/5088-Halo-Reach-Armory-*COMPLETE-LIST* ''Halo: Reach'' Armory - hosted by Ready Up Live]</ref> Its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV(b) .<ref name="HWFred"/> Spartans outside SPECWAR Group Three wore an upgraded version of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Initial production model|original Mark IV]] helmet in conjunction with their Mark V[B] suits;<ref name="Armory"/> this model would later be used for the final iteration of the Mark V.<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 119''</ref>

==Gameplay characteristics==
===Halo: Reach===
The Mark V[B] is the default suit of armor in ''Halo: Reach''.<ref name="enc"/> The second generation of the Mark V is seen in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.<ref name="EVG"/> The helmet is the only component of the set that can be specifically selected in the armory.

====Helmet====
The Mk.V[B] helmet is one of several 'privatized' variants of previously classified war material.<br>
'''Base Price:''' N/A (Default)<br />
*Description: Entered service in 2551; UNICOM/ SPECWAR/ GroupTHREE has been the sole adopter.
'''UA Price:''' 750 cR, Recruit
*Description: Up-armored variant of the base Mk.V[B] pattern helmet.
'''UA/HUL Price:''' 1,500 cR, Corporal
*Description: Up-armored variant with hardened uplink module for MILINT acquisition.
This helmet is the starting helmet for all players, and is purchased and equipped by default. Currently, there are two upgrades available for the Mark V[B] helmet; the UA (up-armored) upgrade for 750 cR (This is a combination of both of the Beta upgrades); and the UA/HUL, for 1500 cR, which adds an [[External Hardened Uplink]] to the right side of the helmet, redesigned from the Beta.

==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of MJOLNIR (B)}}
*In the ''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta, there were two upgrades available for the Mark V[B] helmet. An [[External Command Network Module]] or "CNM", standard issue to [[UNSC Special Forces|Special Forces]] unit commanders (1000 cR), and an [[External Hardened Uplink]] or "HUL", required for sensitive operations (5000 cR).<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]''', ''Armory''</ref> The CNM and HUL attachments as seen in the Beta were merged into a single attachment, the UA upgrade, for the final game. The HUL is now an additional camera/sensor-like attachment on the side of the helmet, rather than being located on the top.
*While both the Mark V[B] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/FJ/PARA variant|FJ/PARA]] shoulder pauldrons were present in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]], the Mark V[B] shoulders were changed to the FJ/PARA variant in the final game. In the final version of the game the Mark V[B] has no shoulder pauldron permutations.<ref name="Armory"/>
*In the marketing campaign for ''Halo: Reach'', an exclusive armor piece would be given to players who preordered the game. During this time the armor piece was known as the "UA/Multi-Threat Mark V[B]." Any relation of this armor piece to the Mark V [B] is absent in the game.
*Fred-104's Mark IV(b) helmet in ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'' is actually a redress of Thom-A293's Mark V[B] helmet from ''[[Deliver Hope]]''.

-===Development history===
+Along with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant|Mark V[M]]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/A variant|Mark VI[A]]] variants, the Mark V[B] is designed and manufactured by private organizations hired by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the [[Materials Group]] due to numerous problems with funding. The Mark V[B] was the default armor set issued to members of [[Special Warfare Command|SPECWAR]] [[Special Warfare Group Three|Group Three]], including [[NOBLE Team]]. While most members of the team modified their Mark V[B] suits to varying extents, [[Thom-A293]] wore a full, unaltered set of Mark V[B] armor.<ref>''Deliver Hope''</ref>
-The Mark V[B] was manufactured by private organizations contracted by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the [[Materials Group]] as was typical for most other Mjolnir designs. The development of Mark V[B] was conducted in secret, with its prototypes tested by [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} The physical architecture of two later MJOLNIR variants, the GEN1 [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] prototype and the GEN2 [[DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir]], closely resembled the design of Mark V[B]. As late as [[2560]], the Mark V[B] armor could still be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}
-At some point, development had begun on the Mark VII [B]. By 2560, the UA/Arethor supplemental shoulder pads designed alongside the Mark VII [B] were adapted for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] armor.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HIArethor}}
+The Mark V[B] helmet's only adopter was SPECWAR Group Three.<ref name="Armory">[http://www.readyuplive.com/forum/showthread.php/5088-Halo-Reach-Armory-*COMPLETE-LIST* ''Halo: Reach'' Armory - hosted by Ready Up Live]</ref> Its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV(b) .<ref name="HWFred"/> Spartans outside SPECWAR Group Three wore an upgraded version of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Initial production model|original Mark IV]] helmet in conjunction with their Mark V[B] suits;<ref name="Armory"/> this model would later be used for the final iteration of the Mark V.<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 119''</ref>
-===Usage===
-The Mark IV[B]'s first known use was by [[Frederic-104]] during an operation against [[Insurrectionist]]s sometime before the [[Battle of Circinius IV]] on [[2526#April|April 26, 2526]]. Fred continued to wear the armor during this battle when [[Blue Team]] was sent to evacuate the survivors from the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]].{{Ref/Film|Film=Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn}} The Mark V[B] entered service with the [[Spartan-II]]s and select [[Spartan-III]]s on [[2551|November 24, 2551]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=enc}} The Mark V[B] helmet's only adopter was [[Special Warfare Command|SPECWAR]] [[Special Warfare Group Three|Group Three]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Armory|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=Mark V[B] helmet description}} Mark V[B] was the standard Mjolnir variant issued to Spartans assigned to SPECWAR Group Three, including [[NOBLE Team]]. While most members of NOBLE Team modified their Mark V[B] suits to varying extents, [[Thom-A293]] wore a mostly unaltered set of Mark V[B] armor during the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Fumirole|attack]] on [[Fumirole]].<ref>''[[Deliver Hope]]''</ref> Thom's replacement, [[SPARTAN-B312]], also wore a largely unaltered set of Mark V[B] armor.<ref>[[:File:Noble Surveillance.jpg|SWORD Base surveillance still of NOBLE Team]]</ref> A replica of B312's helmet was later hosted for display in the [[Outpost Discovery]] program, following the war's end.<ref name="HOD">''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'', [[Hall of History]]</ref>
-Because the Mark V[B] helmet was not used outside SPECWAR Group Three, the standard helmet worn with the Mark V[B] was instead based on the architecture of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Initial production model|original Mark IV]] model.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Armory}} This would later be used as the basis of the final iteration of the Mark V helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}
-By 2559, some Spartans at the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]] made use of the upgraded Mark V[B] armor. This armor is particularly popular among Spartans assigned to UNICOM/SPECWAR.{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Mark V [B] armor-core - armor Description|Quote=Battle-tested and technically refined, refit MARK V [B] suits remain a popular chasis for Spartans assigned to UNICOM/SPECWAR.}}

An [[External Command Network Module]] or "CNM", standard issue to [[UNSC Special Forces|Special Forces]] unit commanders (1000 cR), and an [[External Hardened Uplink]] or "HUL", required for sensitive operations (5000 cR).<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]''', ''Armory''</ref> The CNM and HUL attachments as seen in the Beta were merged into a single attachment, the UA upgrade, for the final game. The HUL is now an additional camera/sensor-like attachment on the side of the helmet, rather than being located on the top.
-*In the ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta'', a number of armor pieces had different names from the final release. [[FJ/PARA-class Mjolnir|FJ/PARA]] shoulders were originally called Mark V[B], and [[Armor accessories/UA|UA/Multi-Threat]] shoulders were called FJ/PARA. When the default, unarmored shoulders were changed to Mark V[B], FJ/PARA was changed to UA/Multi-Threat, and Mark V[B] was changed to FJ/PARA.{{Ref/Reuse|Armory}}
+*While both the Mark V[B] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/FJ/PARA variant|FJ/PARA]] shoulder pauldrons were present in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]], the Mark V[B] shoulders were changed to the FJ/PARA variant in the final game. In the final version of the game the Mark V[B] has no shoulder pauldron permutations.<ref name="Armory"/>
-*[[Fred-104|Fred-104's]] Mark IV[B] armor in ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]'' was [[Wikipedia:Kitbashing|kitbashed]] from the Mark V[B] suit used in ''[[Deliver Hope]]''. The armor was later canonized as Mark IV[B] on Halo Waypoint.{{Ref/Site|id=HWFred|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/frederic-104|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Frederic-104}}
+*In the marketing campaign for ''Halo: Reach'', an exclusive armor piece would be given to players who preordered the game. During this time the armor piece was known as the "UA/Multi-Threat Mark V[B]." Any relation of this armor piece to the Mark V [B] is absent in the game.
+*Fred-104's Mark IV(b) helmet in ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'' is actually a redress of Thom-A293's Mark V[B] helmet from ''[[Deliver Hope]]''.
