Being a modular armor system, Mjolnir can fulfill multiple combat roles and operate in various environments. A number of variants have been designed for to meet the mission requirements and situations. These variants are the pinnacle of Mjolnir evolution from design and function gathered from data, feedback, incidents and general design improvements gather throughout the Human-Covenant War.
===GEN1===


===CQB variant===
====Mark V Prototype====
{{Main|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant|l1=MJOLNIR/C variant}}
In [[2552]] prior to the [[Fall of Reach]] a Mark VI helmet was tested on Mark V armor alongside the '''[[RECON-class_Mjolnir|Recon]]''' armor set.
The "C" variant is designed specifically for close combat by making joints more mobile and including additional attachments for additional close quarters equipment.

Being a modular armor system, Mjolnir can fulfill multiple combat roles and operate in various environments. A number of variants have been designed for to meet the mission requirements and situations. These variants are the pinnacle of Mjolnir evolution from design and function gathered from data, feedback, incidents and general design improvements gather throughout the Human-Covenant War.
The "V" variant is designed specifically for extra-vehicular combat. It has more rounded features and improved armor plating that self-seals, securing its user from almost any punctures created by small shrapnel.
*'''[[MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor/A_variant|MJOLNIR/A]]''' - Rogue - One of several armor sets made by private companies, a trend that would become standard with GEN2.
 
*'''[[ARGUS-class Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/Argus]]''' - Argus - Variant with an increase in situational and threat awareness.
===EOD variant===
*'''[[CQB-class_Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/C]]''' - CQB - Designed specifically for close combat by making joints more mobile and including additional attachments for additional close quarters equipment.
{{Main|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant|l1=MJOLNIR/EOD variant}}
*'''[[CENTURION-class Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/Centurion]]''' - Centurion - Variant worn designed to test new technology.
The EOD armor is designed for situations involving explosive material, for example defusing bombs or removing land mines. The modifications to the armor are designed to limit damage to the wearer in a blast.
*'''[[EOD-class_Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/EOD]]''' - EOD - A variant designed for [[wikipedia:Bomb disposal|explosive ordnance disposal]].
 
*'''[[HOPLITE-class Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/Hoplite]]''' - Hoplite - Features targeting and datalink advancements to improve the accuracy and lethality of Spartans utilizing long-range heavy munitions such as the [[M41 rocket launcher]].
===Recon variant===
*'''[[SECURITY-class_Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/M]]''' - Security - Privately manufactured variant designed for security personnel.
{{Main|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant|l1=MJOLNIR/R variant}}
*'''[[ODST armor|MJOLNIR/ODST]]''' - The Mark V is compatible with several parts of the ODST armor, including the helmet, chest-piece, and shoulder pauldrons.
The Scout and Recon projects were run as parallel projects intended to develop a single variant of the Mjolnir armor with stealth capabilities. Recon reduces infrared signature, reflective surfaces, and [[Cherenkov]] emission.
*'''[[RECON-class_Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/R]]''' - Recon - A variant specialized for reconnaissance missions, developed parallel to the ''S'' variant.
 
*'''[[SCOUT-class Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/S]]''' - Scout - A variant with limited stealth capabilities, developed parallel to the ''R'' variant.
=== Rogue variant ===
*'''[[EVA-class_Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/V]]''' - EVA - Variant that specialized to improve survivability of Spartans when performing extra-vehicular activity in vacuum.
{{Main|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/A variant|l1=MJOLNIR/A variant}}
When the Outer Colonies fell to the Covenant, the UNSC turned to the private sector to produce classified war military hardware. The "A" variant, colloquially known as "Rogue", is one of several armor sets made by private companies, a trend that would become standard with GEN2.
 
===Scout variant===
{{Main|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant|l1=MJOLNIR/S variant}}
The Scout and Recon projects were run as parallel projects intended to develop a single variant of the MJOLNIR armor with stealth capabilities. Scout relies heavily on highly advanced materials.


===Security variant===
====Mark V upgrade====
{{Main|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant|l1=MJOLNIR/M variant}}
In 2552, the Mark V helmet received an [[MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor/Mark_V#Mark_VI_upgrade|upgrade]] to Mark VI with then current-issue internal components and software.
Designed for security personnel, the Security variant was first manufactured on [[Mars]] in [[2528]] and like many other Mjolnir variants, was upgraded to function with the Mark VI suite.

==== Argus variant ====
===GEN2===
{{Main|ARGUS-class Mjolnir|l1=MJOLNIR/Argus}}
====Variants====
The Argus variant is specifically tailored for snipers,<ref name="HWL58">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/linda-058 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Linda-058'']</ref> with a sophisticated battlenet control node for increased situational and threat awareness and hardware-accelerated cyberlink connections for intelligence collection networks. It was worn by [[Linda-058]] as of [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]].
 
==== Centurion variant ====
{{Main|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Centurion|l1=MJOLNIR/Centurion}}
Designed for Spartan team leaders, the Centurion armor successfully went through many field tests following its development in [[2552]]. It contains multiple prototype elements that would later form the basis of the GEN2 platform. [[Fred-104]] was appointed as its tester.<ref name="HWFred"/>
 
==== Compatibility with [GEN2] system ====
Following the development of the GEN2 Mjolnir in the wake of the Human-Covenant War, the external components of the original Mark VI armor were reproduced as a variant of the new generation. This Mark VI incorporates slight modifications to accommodate the different base architecture of the GEN2 system.<ref name="H4"/><ref name="H5G"/>

*'''Hybrid GEN2/Mark VI [Gen 1]'''<br>
This variant of Mark VI uses many components from the base Mark VI as they have proven to be functional after a lot of damage.
