- "The Mk. IV [G] variant is an up-armored prototype based on the basic Mk. IV helmet."
- — Halo: Reach armory description
The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Grenadier is a variant of the MJOLNIR Mark IV Powered Assault Armor. It was introduced in 2535, ten years after the first version of MJOLNIR entered service.[1]
The [G] variant served as the basis for all subsequent supplemental armor development programs and is compatible with later models such as the Mark V. The [G] variant served as a test bed for incorporating energy shielding technology with the MJOLNIR program,[2] though these test were not successful;[3] energy shielding had previously been tested by SPARTAN-II Red Team in 2531.[4] Jorge-052 wore a variant of the Grenadier helmet with the UA (Up-Armored) attachment, as well as the knee guards, left shoulder, and UA chest piece.
Characteristics
The Grenadier variant is known to include at least a helmet, shoulder pieces, and knee guards.

Trivia
The Grenadier helmet bears a striking resemblance to an early design of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV that was removed from Halo Wars. It also resembles the Mark IV armor worn by Gray Team as seen on the cover of Halo: The Cole Protocol.

- ^ Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, page 119: "Energy shielding was a key feature of Mark V, although other Spartan squads had field-tested prototypes of this technology as early as 2531." This implicitly refers to Red Team, as the Grenadier variant did not enter service until 2535.
