- "A thruster module. Evasive maneuvers on demand."
- — The Weapon describing the thruster to John-117.[1]
The thruster is a piece of UNSC infantry equipment compatible with the MJOLNIR (GEN3) armor.[2][3][4]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The thruster module is attached to a Spartan-IV's lower back. It features two thrusters,[5] allowing the user to perform rapid maneuvers upon activation.[2] It can be upgraded with the ability to shroud its user in an active camouflage field; one such unit is used by Spartan-II Kelly-087, with additional overclocking to reduce the thruster's cooldown time at the expense of reducing how long the camouflage can remain active for. For Kelly, this modification is well-suited to her already-impressive speed, allowing her to appear as though she is blinking in and out of thin air, confusing enemies.[6]
Operational History[edit]
A modified thruster pack was used by Kelly-087 on KC-59 and aboard Perihelion Station during the testing of her new GEN3 MJOLNIR armor in September 2559.[6] They continued to be used by Spartans operating on Installation 07 during their prolonged campaign between December 2559 and 2560. While searching the Conservatory on Installation 07, John-117 retrieved a thruster module from the body of Spartan Theodore Sorel.[1]
In-game information[edit]
Halo Infinite[edit]
| “ | A module that activates short bursts of directional movement to evade attacks.[7] | ” |
The thruster is a piece of usable equipment in Halo Infinite, which the player can use to move rapidly to any direction on the horizontal plane.
Upgrades[edit]
In campaign, the thruster is acquired from the body of Spartan Sorel in the level Conservatory; then it can be upgraded by collecting and spending Spartan cores. In multiplayer, the fully-upgraded thruster can be selected as "Thruster (Campaign)" under Sandbox settings. In Forge, the fully-upgraded thruster can spawn at an equipment pad by enabling the Legendary variant option.
| Name | Spartan core cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Afterburner | 1 SC | Adds a second charge to your Thruster. |
| Thermal Control | 2 SC | Reduces Thruster cooldown by 20%. |
| Impulse | 3 SC | Adds significant power to the Thruster, allowing further and faster travel. |
| Escape Velocity | 3 SC | Adds a personal cloak effect to the Thruster, lasting four seconds after activation. |
