The GEN2/ODST variant shares several design elements with its predecessor, though it also sports several changes. It still uses the standard helmet and shoulder pauldrons; it also features upgraded versions of the Mark 117 chestplate and the M/LBE Hard Case. However, the chestplate covers more of the torso below the thoracic cavity. The rest of the armor, including the greaves and cuisses, gauntlets, and boots, is more closely derived from the regular MJOLNIR (GEN2) milieu.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|ODST [[Armor permutations (Halo 4)|armor permutations]]}}

The ODST helmet is available as an [[Armor Permutations (Halo 3)|armor permutation]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]]. The Spartan version of the helmet differs from the standard version in the polarization color of its visor; regular ODST helmets have bluish-silver polarization, while the MJOLNIR ODST helmet retains the gold electroplating possessed by most MJOLNIR armor.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} In ''The Master Chief Collection'', the ODST helmet (like all helmets) can use any of the [[Skins (Halo 3)#Visor colors|visor colours]] introduced in [[Season 3]].
