CQB-class Mjolnir

The Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant, more commonly known as Close Quarters Battle Armor , and abbreviated as CQB Armor, is a type of United Nations Space Command ground infantry body armor.

Introduction
The CQB Armor is a variant of the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR powered battle armor, specialized to improve survivability in close combat for the SPARTAN-II supersoldiers. It is an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Development and History
Head: The Mjolnir/C variant was developed and tested at UNSC Beweglichrüstungsysteme facility in Essen, Deutschland and Songnam, Hanguk, respectively, integrating feedback gathered from the Jericho VII Theater. The intent with the Mjolnir Mark VI Powered Assualt Armor/C variant was to improve survivability in close combat, specifically by looking at alternate methods of K dispersal and improving joint mobility.

Helmet Characteristics
The Helmet differs from that of the Mark VI greatly. It features a roughly "T" shaped visor with two large cheek guards. The top of the helmet is protected by block alloy that forces a protective brace on top.The visor helps the spartan by focusing his sight on one specific target. The "T" shaped visor bears some resemblance to that of Mandalorian helmets worn by the characters Boba and Jango Fett in the Star Wars movies.

Shoulder Characteristics
The Shoulder pads are lower than that of the VI, with them being made of a roughly rectangular plate going across the upper arm and incorporating a light.

Chest Characteristics
The chest plate seems to be a plate of silvery alloy attached to the existing VI armor, with an additional quad set of plates fused together, and a tubular object at the bottom part of the chest plate. There is an unusable combat knife sheathed on the plate as well.
