The CBRN module, short for the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear module, is an external attachment for several MJOLNIR Mark V and [GEN3] helmets.[1][2]

Overview

Specifications

CBRN modules are typically filter attachments worn externally on the "mouth" area of helmets.[3]

Usage

The CBRN modules are employed for operations in hazard zones, wherein chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats are present.[4]

Known modules

The CBRN module has four observed modules, each with its own distinct physical appearance.

EOD-style module

This EOD-style module is a pair of filter attachments on either side of the helmet. It is employed on the standard Mark V EOD-class Mjolnir helmet, but it could be removed for other helmet attachments.[10]

This module has been observed to be compatible with the following helmets:

The CBRN module on the AKIS helmet.

AKIS-style module

The AKIS-style module was developed in parallel to the AKIS helmet, and has only been observed as compatible to the AKIS helmet.[12]

Gameplay

The CBRN modules serve as cosmetics and have no impact on gameplay.

Halo: Reach

Two of the CBRN modules are available as attachments on several helmets in the armor permutations of Halo: Reach. The device is priced at different levels of Credits, depending on the base helmets. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the same CBRN-attached helmets are unlockable in Season 1: Noble, while the AKIS-style module added in Season 5: Anvil.

Production notes

"CBRN" stands for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear, and is pronounced "C-BURN". It is the same abbreviation used in real life, hence its association with the HAZOP armor permutation.
