The low-display bifocal visor balances intel management over visibility. The helmet also has resilient atmosphere lines. The armor has energy shield 7P-LCF [[actuator plug]] components. The pauldrons have a low-set concave pauldron design that offers impressive resiliency.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

In the pre-alpha build of ''[[Halo Online]]'', the [[Armor customization (Halo Online)|BOXHEAD-class Mjolnir]] reused the design of RANGER-class Mjolnir for its armor.
*In ''[[Halo Online]]'s'' pre-alpha the [[Armor customization (Halo Online)|BOXHEAD-class Mjolnir]] used this design for its armor.
