Cortana used [[nanotechnology|minifacturing]] and diagnostic systems to repair and alter John's armor.

* '''Titanium alloy outer shell''': The outer shell of the Mjolnir armor is comprised of a fairly thick titanium alloy. This plating covers the chest, arms, hip, legs, calves, feet and hands. This alloy is very resilient, can take significant damage, and is nearly impervious to small arms fire. While enough shots from armor piercing rounds will breach the outer shell, the suit can take a few glancing blows from them without compromising the armor. The outer shell of the all Mjolnir suits is covered with a refractive coating to help disperse the heat experienced from Covenant energy weapons. However one or two direct hits from any Plasma weapon will compromise the armor plating. | * '''Titanium alloy outer shell''': The outer shell of the Mjolnir armor is comprised of a fairly thick titanium alloy.

* '''Titanium nanocomposite bodysuit''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a thick black armored bodysuit. This suit has numerous functions, small but vital to the safety and survival of the wearer. The bodysuit is made of a titanium-based material, making it very strong and yet very flexible. It also serves as another layer of protection against ballistics attacks and is coated with a heat resistant material to disperse heat from plasma weapons. | * '''Titanium nanocomposite bodysuit''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a thick black armored bodysuit.

The hydrostatic gel layer can also be pressurized to various levels to potentially save the wearer's life should the wearer be subjected to high G forces or a high velocity impact; however, over-pressurizing this layer can cause [[wikipedia:nitrogen embolism|nitrogen embolism]]s.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''' ''Page 13''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''' ''Chapter 1, page 36''</ref> | ||
* '''[[Polymerized lithium niobocene|Reactive metal liquid crystal layer]]''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a layer of piezoelectric material that deforms along a preferred axis when exposed to an electric charge.

* '''Memory-processor superconductor layer''': A layer relatively new to the Mjolnir line, introduced with the Mark V, that is capable of housing an AI. Comprised of the same material as a starship's AI system, this layer allows an AI to travel with a soldier into the field.

Subsequent to the Ur-Didact's awakening, and during the destruction of Requiem's core, John's MJOLNIR-donned frame was cratered several meters deep into non-porous, rocky terrain. The armor proved strong enough to resist the blunt-force trauma of such an impact with no visible damage - at the minor expense of an interim concussion.{{Ref/Level|H4|[[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]]}} | Subsequent to the Ur-Didact's awakening, and during the destruction of Requiem's core, John's MJOLNIR-donned frame was cratered several meters deep into non-porous, rocky terrain.

During the [[Battle over Installation 07]], John's GEN3 armor took several heavy hits from [[Atriox]], enough to stun the Spartan, but it kept functioning. After being thrown into space, the armor shut down, but it went into survival mode which was able to keep the Spartan alive for six months in the vacuum of space with no food, water, or other things vital to life aside from the suit's oxygen supply. When John was recovered, [[Fernando Esparza]]'s scan of the suit suggested that its main power cells were fried, yet once it was brought out of survival mode, the armor's [[fusion reactor]] almost instantly recharged the Pelican's depleted batteries and it resumed full functioning once again.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Warship Gbraakon|Hi|Ringfall|[[Warship Gbraakon]]}} The Master Chief later told [[the Weapon]] that the next thing that he remembered after getting thrown into space was waking up on the Pelican six months later, suggesting that he had been kept unconscious by the armor for the entire time.{{Ref/Quest|Id=The Sequence|Hi|Reformation|[[The Sequence]]}} | During the [[Battle over Installation 07]], John's GEN3 armor took several heavy hits from [[Atriox]], enough to stun the Spartan, but it kept functioning.
