RAKSHASA-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor[3] manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial.[1][2]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The Rakshasa is versatile, easy to maintain, and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Critical advantages for long-duration remote operations in hostile environments. Another key to its success are multiple levels of subsystem redundancy and an integral self-repair system.[1][2] Rakshasa is also able to be equipped, or adapted to use several attachments or gear.[3]

Development history[edit]

Developed by Lethbridge Industrial, the Rakshasa armor was battle-tested by Delta-6 hunter-killer teams and disruption operatives who ranged far into the former Covenant core worlds.[1]

Usage[edit]

During the armor's service, it began to represent lived history, where the armor of one Spartan wearing Rakshasa may carry on to another.[4]

Rakshasa was worn by Spartan-IVs Sigrid Eklund and Hieu Dinh,[5] where Eklund documented in her field notes several experiences on equipment usable on Rakshasa.[4]

In-game information[edit]

For armor pieces compatible with the Rakshasa armor core, see here.

The Rakshasa armor core and helmet were originally unlocked after attaining level 6 on the free battle pass in Season 02: Lone Wolves, the second season of Halo Infinite multiplayer. With the release of the December update during Halo Infinite's Winter Update, the Rakshasa core was granted to all players for free.[8] Customization options for the Rakshasa core were unlocked by reaching levels within the Lone Wolves battle pass or purchasing various bundles from the Halo Infinite in-game shop. This armor core would see new customization options added with the release of Season 05: Reckoning, and The Yappening II, Anvil, Frontlines, Shadows and Infinite operations would also focus on Rakshasa-themed cosmetics. The Rakshasa helmet itself would be made available across all armor cores with the release of Season 05: Reckoning.
