| '''RECRUIT-class Mjolnir''' is the standard-issue [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR GEN2 armor set]] manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] and [[Materials Group]]. It is the standard armor for all newly recruited [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}}{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Recruit - Body Description|Quote=SPARTAN-IVs are required to use the RECRUIT-class armor until they demonstrate mastery over their many augmentations.}} | |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| 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.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
| |
| | |
| The standard color scheme for Recruit-equipped Spartans aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} consists of orange-yellow stripes at various points, most notably along the center of the helmet, though the suit remains largely unpainted.{{Ref/Note|All SPARTAN-IV NPCs encountered in ''Halo 4'' (both in the campaign and in ''Spartan Ops'') wear Recruit armor with the aforementioned color scheme. [[Jared Miller]] of the ship's Spartan Command also wears Recruit armor with this color scheme in ''Spartan Ops''{{'}} prerendered "talking head" vignettes.}} Whether this color scheme is common among all recently inducted SPARTAN-IVs is unknown.
| |
| | |
| ===Development History===
| |
| 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]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4a}} Testing for the GEN2 version was swiftly done, as by [[2553#January|January 2553]] a copy of the armor was onboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Comic|HInit|Issue=[[Halo: Initiation Issue 2|2]]}} | |
| | |
| Decades of combat experience with Mjolnir suits informed the design and electronics hardware architecture of the RECRUIT helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| | |
| ===Skins===
| |
| The Prime skin is part of the [[Infinity Actual Kit]] recommended for Spartan-IV first contact and asymmetrical operations.{{Ref/Game|H4|Halo 4 Limited Edition|Limited Edition|Detail=Bonus content marketplace description}}
| |
| | |
| ===Usage===
| |
| Newly inducted Spartans are required to use the Recruit-class armor for an individually determined time frame before requisitioning custom kits.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} 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.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
| |
| | |
| Spartans in the Recruit variant armor were sold as [[toy]]s. One child had painted his Recruit Spartan action figure to resemble the [[John-117|Master Chief]].{{Ref/Marketing|H5|Hunt the Truth|A Hero Falls}}

| ===''Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta''===
| |
| In the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta]]'', there was a "BRN" skin which became the "Charred" skin in the final game. This skin had descriptions for it as follows:
| |
| *'''Helmet description''': Though largely confined to War Games, custom patterns can be applied to RECRUIT armor before fitting.
| |
| *'''Body description''': Personalized RECRUIT armor suits the needs of a diverse segment of Spartan combatants.
| |
| | |
| ===''Halo 5: Guardians''===
| |
| The Recruit armor returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor includes the Recruit chest and right shoulder, an unknown left shoulder, [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms, and Recruit legs. The Recruit set has three skins: Charred, Marked, and Proven.

| ==Production notes==
| |
| In ''[[Halo 4]]'', the Recruit right shoulder and forearms available to the player in multiplayer are different from those seen elsewhere in the game, such as on SPARTAN-IV NPCs in campaign and on characters in the ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' cutscenes. Curiously, the SPARTAN-IVs in ''Halo 4''{{'}}s campaign appear to be wearing what the game classifies as [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms.
