LOCUS-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial.[2]
GEN2 overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The LOCUS helmet has a heavily armored case-locked visor system that relies on multiple visual feeds. It also has an interlocking helmet soft-mesh loosely based on Covenant armor technology, and R4-100 dial audio sensors used for noise tracking.[1]
Development history[edit]
The Locus variant was manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial. Tested at the Lethbridge Combat Fields, the armor system is a contemporary stealth kit conceived specifically for tactical and strategic infiltration with focus on survivability and durability. Despite its exotic design, the primary differential from similar systems is its incredible durability in the field.[1][3]
Lethbridge also tested the armor for both resiliency and its attention to stealth and anti-security measures outside the megacity of Lethbridge on Concord in a number of heavily secured facilities lying across Corsica's hardscrabble northern outskirts. These tests confirmed that Locus was fully able to survive extreme opposition and firepower.[1]
Usage[edit]
Most operators choose this suit due to its resiliency.[2]
Rakshasa overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The offline battlenet cache and innate stealth features of the LOCUS are very useful for information sanitization missions.[4]
Usage[edit]
The Locus helmet is used by Spartans during information sanitization missions on the Created-occupied Inner Colonies. It also has a niche among cyberwarfare liaisons working with Swords of Sanghelios subversion lances.[4]
In-game information[edit]
Halo 4 - GEN2[edit]
Locus was introduced in Halo 4. Unlike other armor sets, Locus was limited to only a helmet, and also possessed no skins.
| Armor | Description | Unlock requirements (Halo 4) | Unlock requirements (Halo: MCC) |
|---|---|---|---|
 Locus |
Description (H4): Despite its exotic design, most operators select this armor based on its resiliency. | Pre-order bonus through MightyApe.co.nz or HMV.com. Also available in the Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition. | Unlocked by default. |
| Helmet description (MCC): Exotic and resilient. Often leveraged by Headhunter units. |
Halo 5: Guardians - GEN2[edit]
The Locus armor returned in Halo 5: Guardians. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as armor permutations through the Requisition system. The body armor employs the full AVIATOR set, including the body, shoulders, forearms, and legs.
| Helmet | Description | Unlock requirements |
|---|---|---|
 Locus (helmet) |
The LOCUS' passive cyberintrusion package and battlenet cache allows the user to stay aware of the strategic situation while remaining invisible to any hackers in the network. | Legendary REQ card |
 Locus (body) |
Designed to provide an answer to threats arising during assaults on heavily defended tactical nodes, the grim visage of LOCUS armor is a common sight among Spartan boarding parties and special responses teams. | Legendary REQ card |
 Locus Edge (helmet skin) |
The LOCUS' passive cyberintrusion package and battlenet cache allows the user to stay aware of the strategic situation while remaining invisible to any hackers in the network. | Legendary REQ card |
 Locus Edge (body skin) |
Designed to provide an answer to threats arising during assaults on heavily defended tactical nodes, the grim visage of LOCUS armor is a common sight among Spartan boarding parties and special responses teams. | Legendary REQ card |
Halo Infinite - Rakshasa[edit]
The Locus helmet along with a solitary attachment, returned and was made available for multiplayer Spartan armor customization on the Rakshasa armor core in Halo Infinite.
| Helmet | Manufacturer | Lore | Rarity | Unlock Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Locus |
Lethbridge Industrial | The offline battlenet cache and innate stealth features of the LOCUS are invaluable for information sanitization missions on the occupied Inner Colonies. It also has a niche among cyberwarfare liaisons working with Swords of Sanghelios subversion lances. | Epic | Purchase "Locus Armor Set" Bundle from the Shop for 1,100 cR |
 PROJECT ENOCH |
Watershed Division | Another esoteric experiment of ARC DREAM's labs brought into use by dire need, this mechanism allows the user to "speak" with tonal patterns that are understood by nearby humans but cannot be interpreted through recordings or remote monitoring. | Epic | Purchase "Locus Armor Set" Bundle from the Shop for 1,100 cR |
Trivia[edit]
- The head of a Hive Thrall (an enemy from Bungie's game Destiny), bears a striking resemblance to the Locus armor's helmet.
- In Halo 4, Locus is one of four helmet-only armor sets alongside the Deadeye, Scanner, and Strider helmets.
- In Halo 4's full body renders, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the Locus armor is the same as the Recruit armor.
- The GEN2 variant of the Locus helmet is used as the base for the Yokai helmet on the "Fractures: Tenrai" event in Halo Infinite.
