The MJOLNIR: BLACK variant used by Team Black.

Developed as a part of Project: MJOLNIR, the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Black variant is a standalone "skunkworks" prototype of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor created by a top secret parallel development lab in Seongnam, United Korea.

Overview

While it is visually similar to the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR armor, it includes features that neither the Mark V or VI have. The HUD has a field of view of nearly five thousand meters, allowing extreme-range reconnaissance. The armor is colored jet black rather than the standard olive green, increasing the user's ability to hide in shadows. One arm includes a device nicknamed the "Interrogator", featuring a built-in microphone, processor, and speaker for translation of Covenant languages to English and from English to Covenant speech, intended for use in interrogation. The armor is capable of carrying a seventh-generation "Smart" AI, Iona. Like the Marks V and VI, MJOLNIR: Black features recharging energy shielding.

Being a prototype, it features some flaws: it has trouble displaying exact altitude, making three-dimensional tracking difficult, and the biofoam injectors were known to mistakenly set broken bones into the wrong shape to heal.[1] The armor was used by Team Black during the Battle of Verge and during their actions on Line Installation 1-4.[2]

Trivia

  • It is possible that the prototype Mark VI helmet that is seen in Halo Reach's Armory is the MJOLNIR: Black prototype. This is supported by the fact that its sun visor is colored black and cannot be changed.
  • The armor's visor is said to be reflective gray in Blunt Instruments,[3] but in Halo: Blood Line, it is gold-colored like the default MJOLNIR visor.
