VENATOR-class Mjolnir

The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Venator is a variant of the GEN2 utilized by SPARTAN-IVs. .

Development history
The MJOLNIR/Venator variant was manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial as their flagship product. The Venator armor gained prominence during the Covenant's attack on Concord for its improvement of user opportunity in hand-to-hand and single-enemy combat. After the Requiem Campaign, Lethbridge Industrial improved the Venator's power management subsystem and reduced it's maintenance requierements. By October 2558, the armor's firmware incorporated a generalization of predictive targeting algorithms originally created to assist new Spartans in close-quarters combat.

Trivia

 * "Venator" is Latin for "hunter".
 * The Venator helmet bears a great deal of resemblance to that of the Advanced Suit from the Dead Space series.


 * In Halo Online, the Venator armor is wrongly called "Stealth armor" instead.
 * The three skins for Venator armor in Halo 5: Guardians are named after three types of gladiators.
 * The helmet's "eye slits" are considered a visor (and thus customizable) in Halo 5: Guardians, rather than being glowing white lights as they are in Halo 4.
 * In the Alpha build of Halo Online, the STEALTH-class Mjolnir armor uses the Venator design but with glowing lights through it.
