GRENADIER-class Mjolnir

- Halo: Reach armory description

The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Grenadier is a variant of the MJOLNIR Mark IV Powered Assault Armor. It was introduced in 2535, ten years after the first version of MJOLNIR entered service.

The [G] variant served as the basis for all subsequent supplemental armor development programs and is compatible with later models such as the Mark V. The [G] variant served as a test bed for incorporating energy shielding technology with the MJOLNIR program, though these test were not successful; energy shielding had previously been tested by SPARTAN-II Red Team in 2531. Jorge-052 wore a variant of the Grenadier helmet with the UA (Up-Armored) attachment, as well as the knee guards, left shoulder, and UA chest piece.

Halo: Reach
The Grenadier variant is known to include at least a helmet, shoulder pieces, and knee guards.

Trivia

 * In the armory, the Grenadier [UA] chest plate has "052" written on the collar.
