'''STALKER-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] manufactured by [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|Armor permutations (Halo 4)|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Stalker Description|Quote=Developed by the NCC via intel previously gleaned from Jiralhanae stealth kits.}}{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/95810f97-6e54-4b52-b689-b559e17f15d3/stalker|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: Stalker|D=24|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
The helmet features scanning nodes and a flush-mounted rebreather system. It is also equipped with an irregular beam visor that is loosely based on [[Jiralhanae Stalker]] visor schema. The suit has horizontal, cross-set shield conduits.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

===Development history===
The Stalker variant was manufactured by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]]. The armor was developed and produced by the NCC via intel on Jiralhanae Stalker units and other separate advances made by ONI.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} A similar suit also derived from Brute Stalkers, named "[[INFRACTOR-class armor|Infractor]]", was later developed by the [[New Tyne Armory]] on the [[Insurrectionist|independent]] world of [[Venezia]].{{Ref/Game|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armory|Detail=Infractor armor}}

===Usage===
The Stalker armor system offers a vast array of hunter-tracker field improvements considered prodigious among remaining [[Delta-Six Division|D-6]] operatives.{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} Covenant infantry who encounter [[Spartan]]s wearing this suit are often taken back by the armor's visage, placing them at a brief disadvantage.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

==In-game information==
