SCANNER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor developed by the Materials Group.[1][3]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The helmet is designed to sync/dock with the LCX-20V1 SinoViet sight-augmentation module for extreme-range reconnaissance. It does not mitigate operability, and can be slid back into a passive mode above the user's parietal plate. The helmet also has a low-set, concave rebreather apparatus.[1]

The helmet also includes several sensor capabilities and user-adjustable settings that are not yet compatible with standard VISR hardware.[4]

Development history[edit]

It was manufactured by the Materials Group and tested at the Damascus Testing Facility. Over several years, Materials was balancing out the needs of personnel for search-and-rescue operations, appropriately fine-tuning individual components like the long-range sensors and large toolsets like armor-fixed rescue implements.[1] It was designed for the facilitation of search-and-rescue strike teams protecting ONI personnel, as well as critical government and military personnel from capture by Insurrectionist forces.[5]

Usage[edit]

The armor is widely recognized as the best Mjolnir suit available for high-value target and hostage recovery operations.[2]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 4[edit]

Scanner was first introduced as a helmet permutation in Halo 4. Scanner was one of four helmet-only sets alongside the Deadeye, Locus, and Strider helmets, and featured no variants.

Halo 5: Guardians[edit]

The Scanner helmet would return in Halo 5: Guardians as an armor permutation available through the Requisition system. The body armor utilizes the Soldier chest and shoulders, with a version of the Anvil Station Soldier forearms and legs.

Halo Infinite[edit]

The Scanner armor would return, being made available for multiplayer Spartan armor customization in Halo Infinite. Besides the helmet and attachment, Scanner's body armor reuses and adapts Recruit armor pieces for the Mark VII armor core.

Production notes[edit]

As shown in concept art, the Scanner helmet without its scope attachment would have bore a strong resemblance to the Mark V version of the Commando helmet, more so than the GEN2 version.
