This variant was a test bed for incorporating [[energy shielding]] technology with the MJOLNIR program. The helmet features an up-armored configuration with heads-up software that adjusts to combat situations that improves the user's performance and suitability. The shoulder pauldrons for this armor set are categorized as "blast-guard pauldrons". | This variant was a test bed for incorporating [[energy shielding]] technology with the MJOLNIR program.

After the first wave of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] systems, based on requests of veteran [[Spartan-II]] and [[Spartan-III]] operatives, the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Grenadier suit.

All Grenadier armor types in the [[Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory]] are unlockable in the game's purchase system via the use of [[Credits|cR]]. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the Grenadier set is attainable in the [[Season 1: Noble]] progression system. Due to its adoption from the customized armor of [[Jorge-052]], the Grenadier [UA] chest plate has his Spartan tag "052" written on the collar. | |||

The Grenadier helmet bears a striking resemblance to [[:File:Halo Wars - Mark IV.png|an early design]] of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV]] that was removed from ''[[Halo Wars]]''. It also resembles [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Unknown Mark IV suit|the Mark IV armor]] worn by [[Gray Team]] as seen on the cover of ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''. | |||
