*[[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] (compatible)

[[MJOLNIR (GEN3)]]

===Specifications===

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".{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}

It was introduced in around [[2535]], ten years after the first version of MJOLNIR entered service. It was based on a design that originated from the first prototypes of the Mark IV helmet, one that was upgraded to withstand violent concussive force.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} The [G] variant served as the basis for all subsequent supplemental armor development programs and is compatible with later models such as the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]]. The [G] variant served as a test bed for incorporating energy shielding technology with the MJOLNIR program,{{Ref/Game|Id=Armory|Game=HR|Section=Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|SectionLinkText=Armory|Detail=Collar/Grenadier - Description}} though these tests were not successful;{{Ref/Book|[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]}} energy shielding had previously been tested by [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Red Team]] in [[2531]].{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG119|Halo: The Essential Visual Guide|Page=119}}{{Ref/Note|''"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.}}

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. This led to the creation of the [[INDOMITABLE-class Mjolnir]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF:Noble|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder 5/6/2016: Noble Intentions}}  

This variant saw limited use as other variants filled the same role instead. [[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.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}

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]]''.
