Project GUNGNIR also developed supplementary armor systems, including the [[GUNGNIR-class Mjolnir|G variant]] of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V armor]], which consists of a helmet, shoulder pauldrons, and knee guards, as a modification of the standard Mjolnir armor for optimizing the use of the Spartan Laser. | Project GUNGNIR also developed supplementary armor systems,{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} including the [[GUNGNIR-class Mjolnir|G variant]] of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V armor]], which consists of a helmet, shoulder pauldrons, and knee guards,{{Ref/Reuse|Armory}} as a modification of the standard Mjolnir armor for optimizing the use of the Spartan Laser.{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=89}} These modular armor components, including the shoulder pauldrons and knee guards, were also employed on the cross-branch Battle Dress Uniform, which was adapted into the [[UNSC Army]] [[UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform|BDU]], the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|BDU]], and a variant of the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] [[ODST armor|armor]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Exodus}}{{Ref/Level|HR|The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn}} | ||
