'''WAR MASTER-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] developed by [[Lethbridge Industrial]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|[[Armor customization (Halo 4)|Armory]] description}}{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/9d4be5a8-4e5e-480e-a7f2-f5076408335d/war-master-|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: War Master|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}}

The War Master's helmet visor is designed in such a way as to ensure the visor's contours intimidate enemies. The helmet is equipped with an R-42 case-filter rebreather, and the suit's chestplate features a Corsica-102 [[Energy shielding|shield]] recoupler that works to improve armor resiliency. The cuirass' "shoulders" contain the suit's plane-reactor couplings; a feature which increases mobility through weight distribution. The suit's low-set shoulder pauldrons lend themselves to variability in the operator's usage.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

Unlike specifically-combat focused MJOLNIR variants such as the [[VANGUARD-class Mjolnir|VANGUARD-class]], the War Master set is designed to offer the broadest possible array of functionality available in the GEN2 platform. The suit is able to match the resiliency of heavier Mjolnir variants with the speed and dexterity of lighter variants, allowing it an extremely broad range of use cases. To aid in this, War Master also includes a full communication suite, networked sensors, and remote deployment componentry.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

The WAR MASTER's neural interface was intentionally throttled after early testing showed inexperienced Spartans would dangerously overextend themselves in combat due to the euphoric side-effects.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5 Armory|H5G|[[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armory]] description}}

War Master is one of the most versatile MJOLNIR suits available, and equipped to perform a huge variety of tasks, Due to this, fears around the overextended performance specs have abated since the suit hit the field.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} In keeping with the wide versatility of the armor, it is the ''de facto'' standard worn by [[Spartan-IV]] [[Headhunter]] units.{{Ref/Reuse|H5 Armory}}

War Master was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The armor has ONE available skin: Primal (PRML). As with all ''Halo 4'' armor, the skins were not included in the initial release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', though the release of ''Halo 4'' on PC and the start of [[Season 4: Reclaimer]] saw the skins added into the collection as default unlocks.

The War Master set returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor is not a fully-original design, and as such includes a number of supplementary ''Halo 4'' pieces - primarily the [[Contoured]] forearms and legs. The War Master set has three alternate skins; Tiberian, Augustan and Scipio.

During the pre-alpha stages of ''[[Halo Online]]'', War Master was featured, though renamed to "Iron".

*The three alternate skins for the War Master armor in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' all bear the names of various Roman leaders and generals; Augustan is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus Gaius Octavianus Augustus], who was a general under Caesar and later the first emperor of the Roman Empire. Scipios were part of one of Rome's oldest families, the Cornelia families. They had several generals and politicians in their ranks, including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scipio_Africanus Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus] who defeated Hannibal in the Second Punic War. The last skin is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius Tiberius], one of Rome's greatest generals who was adopted by Augustus, eventually becoming emperor himself.
