Immediately after the [[Mission to Installation 03]], John received an upgrade for his Mark VI armor from [[ONI]]'s [[Watershed Division]], bringing it into the GEN2 line of Mjolnir PAA.<ref name="Easterling2">[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/782402924353757184 ''Jeff Easterling on Twitter'':] ''"GEN2; in Escalation."''</ref><ref name="Easterling">[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/791063783280025601 ''Jeff Easterling on Twitter'':] ''"Chief does have specific design from MG, but Blue Team as a whole all have WD influence :-)"''</ref> The armor still looks like his updated GEN1 Mark VI, the most prominent difference being a redesigned bodysuit.
