Assault attachments
Assault is a category of supplemental webbing configurations, typically designed for use with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor in close to medium distance combat.[1]
OverviewEdit
Design detailsEdit
The Assault category commonly includes various pieces of chest- and wrist-mounted ammunition-carrying equipment compatible with MJOLNIR Mark V.[1]
UsageEdit
Spartan-IIIs from NOBLE Team have been observed to employ Assault configurations. Carter-A259 employed the Assault/Commando chest configuration, while Emile-A239 employed the Assault/Sapper chest configuration as well as the Assault/Breacher wrist attachment. After the Human-Covenant War, the WRATH-class Mjolnir, being a partial recreation of Emile-A239's customized armor,[2] also featured the Assault/Breacher wrist attachment.[3]

Production notesEdit
- A sapper (the namesake of Assault/Sapper) is a combat engineer.[4]
- During the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the Assault/Commando chest piece was designated Assault/CQC as a part of the CQC armor set. In the final game, the chest piece was renamed as Assault/Commando, with no replacement for a CQC chest piece being made.
