'''GUNGNIR-class Mjolnir''', also designated as the '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/G variant''' on the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V platform]], is a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] variant originally designed by [[Misriah Armory]],{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] version being manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]],{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|Armor permutations (Halo 4)|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=GUNGNIR Description}} and the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3]] version being manufactured by [[Meyer e.V.]].{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}

===Design details===

The GUNGNIR helmet's visor is a "blast visor",{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} which is boxy and comes with more facial protection than any other helmet as it fully covers the front of the head and it replaces the usage of a visor with a small camera on the left that displays the outside to the user. It bears a white stripe running down the right side with the Norse symbol for Gungnir in the center.{{Ref/Game|Id=Armory|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=GUNGNIR Description}} The helmet also has [[Wyrd optics suite|Wyrd III]] synchronized optimization which seamlessly connects the helmet to an [[M6 Spartan Laser]] to allow full access to the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Project GUNGNIR also developed supplementary armor systems, including shoulder pauldrons and knee guards.{{Ref/Reuse|Armory}} The GUNGNIR helmet can be fitted with a [[AN/PZY-6011Y TYPHON]] remote sensor on either side of the helmet and a [[CBRN module#EOD-style module|CBRN module]].

The shoulder pauldrons and knee guards were employed on the cross-branch Battle Dress Uniform, which was adapted into the [[UNSC Army]] [[UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform|BDU]], the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|BDU]], and a variant of the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] [[ODST armor|armor]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Exodus}}{{Ref/Level|HR|The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Campaign|HR|Campaign|Campaign models}}

===Design details===

The physical architecture of the GEN2 GUNGNIR body armor strongly resembles the [[COS-class Mjolnir]], which was tested on [[ANVIL Station]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Desc|MCC|''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|customisation]] menu}} The GEN2 GUNGNIR helmet, unlike its Mark V iteration, is round. Like the previous iterations, there is no visor, but the video camera has moved from the left side to the right side of the helmet. The helmet is less angular overall, and the front extends much less than its predecessor.

The helmet continues to have Wyrd III integrated video optics, though the helmet has an enhanced cranial plating now. The chest has a centralized power-distribution capacitor(Servo L-903), and a breach-anchored collar system for in-field modification.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

Continuing from the GEN1 variants, Hannibal acquired the rights to create a GEN2 variant. Hannibal then created and tested it at the [[WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/bb4ff0de-bfd2-4ec2-a32c-fc4cd5da74e2/gungnir|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: GUNGNIR|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}}

Despite being considered an exclusive armor set, many Spartans have adopted GUNGNIR regardless of their weapon loadouts due to its isolated video optics, Wyrd III sensory optimization, and enhanced cranial plating. This was especially useful when operating at or near Covenant manufacturing sites, as it protected against intense flare radiometric conditions.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} It was notably used by Spartan marksman [[Nina Kovan]] during the [[Requiem Campaign]] in [[2558]]. During [[Operation: VERTICAL UMBRAGE]] on February 14, Kovan used her GUNGNIR suit's Wyrd III optics to obtain visual intelligence on a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] base established on [[Requiem]] consisting of a [[Summit (building)|summit]] manufacturing aircraft.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Umbrage|Halo: Vertical Umbrage}}{{Ref/Site|Id=WPUmbrage|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-4-vertical-umbrage|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 - Vertical Umbrage|D=7|M=11|Y=2022|LocalArchive=Archive:Vertical Umbrage}}  

The GUNGNIR target acquisition and tracking system has been adapted into various UNSC weapon systems.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor Permutations|Detail=GUNGNIR - Helmet Description}}

 

All GUNGNIR armor types can be unlocked in the ''[[Halo: Reach]]''{{'}}s [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory]] through the game's purchase system via the use of [[Credits|cR]]. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the GUNGNIR set is attainable in the [[Season 1: Noble]] progression system.

GUNGNIR was one of the [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor permutations]] to return, albeit completely redesigned for [[GEN2]], in ''[[Halo 4]]''.  In ''The Master Chief Collection'', the GUNGNIR set and its Pulse (PULS) skin variant are available by default.

The ''Halo 4'' design of GUNGNIR returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor includes the GUNGNIR chest and shoulders, an unknown set of forearms, and [[LG-50 Bulk]] legs. The GEN2 GUNGNIR set only has one alternate skin, Dvalin.  

===''Halo Infinite'' - Upgraded GEN1 and GEN3===

The GUNGNIR Mark V knee guards return in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', available for the [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V (B)]] armor core. Despite being visible in promotional material before the launch of [[Season 01: Heroes of Reach]] the Mark V GUNGNIR shoulder pads have yet to become available. The [[TAS attachments|TAS/GUNGNIR MOD 6]] attachment is available for use on the [[STORMFALL-class Mjolnir|Stormfall]] helmet. [[Season 05: Reckoning]] added the Mark V GUNGNIR helmet and its TAS/GUNGNIR MOD 3 attachment.
