RECRUIT-class Mjolnir is the standard-issue MJOLNIR GEN2 armor set manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems and Materials Group. It is the standard armor for all newly recruited SPARTAN-IV personnel.[3][4]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The reactor is covered by a "Class-A hardened reactor case". The shoulders are called "common solid-plate pauldrons". There is a power conduit on the cuisse. The feet have segmented plates to increase mobility. The armor is designed to cope with the strain and duress experienced by newly augmented Spartan-IV.[1]
The standard color scheme for Recruit-equipped Spartans aboard the UNSC Infinity consists of orange-yellow stripes at various points, most notably along the center of the helmet, though the suit remains largely unpainted.[Note 1] Whether this color scheme is common among all recently inducted SPARTAN-IVs is unknown.
Development History[edit]
The majority of the Recruit variants were manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems and tested at WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka. Both the forearms and greaves were manufactured by the Materials Group, with the forearms tested at FFG-045's combat lab, and the greaves manufactured on Chi Ceti IV.[2] Testing for the GEN2 version was swiftly done, as by January 2553 a copy of the armor was onboard the UNSC Infinity.[5]
Decades of combat experience with Mjolnir suits informed the design and electronics hardware architecture of the RECRUIT helmet.[4]
Skins[edit]
The Prime skin is part of the Infinity Actual Kit recommended for Spartan-IV first contact and asymmetrical operations.[6]
Usage[edit]
Newly inducted Spartans are required to use the Recruit-class armor for an individually determined time frame before requisitioning custom kits.[3] The armor's performance consistency raises eyebrows among the more experienced Spartans, however, and despite its popularity, many Spartan-IVs opt to diversify the armor with other variants.[1]
Spartans in the Recruit variant armor were sold as toys. One child had painted his Recruit Spartan action figure to resemble the Master Chief.[7]
In-game information[edit]
Halo 4[edit]
Reruit was first introduced as an armor set in Halo 4. The player default, Recruit featured two additional variants with Recruit Prime and Recruit Tiger.
