SECURITY-class Mjolnir



The Mark V(m) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armour, also known as the Security Armour, is a type of UNSC MJOLNIR Powered Assault body armor that has its unique appearance from all other permutations.

Introduction
The Security Armor, or "Marathon Armor", is a variant of the standard Mjolnir Mark V powered assault armor. It is an armor permutation in Halo 3 multi-player. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay. This armor permutation is rather based off of the main character and protagonist in the Marathon Computer Game series.

Development and History
The MJOLNIR V(m) variant was manufactured in the Misrah Armory Facility on Mars in 2543, 1 year after the Mark V entered production in 2542. Like the Mark V, it has been upgraded to be compatible with all current generation MJOLNIR variants.

Helmet Characteristics
The helmet's most noticeable feature is the larger, more prominent "figure-eight" shaped visor which looks bug-eyed, inspired by the protagonist of Halo's precursor, Marathon (as depicted by Craig Mullins ), although the mouth is covered. Other than that, the helmet is largely and vastly bland, with a small raised section on the forehead in the form of the Marathon logo. Wearing the helmet will also add a small antenna to the right shoulder.

Shoulder Characteristics
The Shoulder pads are quite large, with a distinct rounded section with an upper centre that is trapezium shaped arm guard going out the bottom and a rounded armour section above that. Note that these shoulder pads are prone to a major glitch that may cause you to not get them until you have 1000 halo 3 gamerscore but, another glitch is occuring that lets you have security shoulders before 750 halo 3 gamerscore.

Chest Characteristics
The Security Armour does not have a known chest plate, although wearing the helmet will give the player a distinct "antenna and dial" on the right side of the back plate. This may be a reference to the antenna Master Chief had in the pre-Halo: Combat Evolved at the Mac World Trailer. The fact that the Security armour predates the standard Mark V armour may support this.

Unlock

 * Head: Get a gamerscore of at least 1000 in Halo 3. Since the new achievements from Title Update 2, the head may be unlocked from around 40-50 non-vidmaster achievements.
 * Shoulders: Officially, the Security shoulders unlock when the player has attained at least 750 Gamerscore points from Halo 3. However, the shoulders are renowned and well-known bugged items. There have been inclusive reports of players unlocking the shoulders at Gamerscores from the 300s to 1000. There has also been a glitch in which the Security shoulders will not be unlocked until 850 or 900 gamerscore and will re-lock themselves for no apparent reason. The Security shoulders may glitch into appearence after unlocking all 8 gold skulls sequentially. It is speculated that unlocking the shoulders relies on certain campaign achievements-specifically the Marathon Man and Meta Game achievements. A perfect 1000 Gamerscore has been reported to guarantee unlocking the Security shoulders permanently. Some have reported unlocking them at only 30+ achievements.

Trivia

 * The Security's shoulder permutation can be unlocked by achieving all of the offline achievements.
 * The Security helmet is sometimes also known as the Marathon helmet.
 * It's visor is second in size only to the EVA's visor.
 * Like other Multiplayer permutations McFarlane toys is producing a Spartan Security armour variant.
 * Unlocking some of the new achievements and some of the old ones can help in getting the full Security armour set, along with the katana. (For example, if you have 965 GS and then get the Marathon man achievement for 40 GS, you will have 1005 GS, unlocking the armour.) However, it is prone to re-locking and then unlocking periodically (it is still unknown why this happens).
