The S-1 reconnaissance PPE/BDU is a specialized [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] variant of the ODST armor.<ref name="evg45">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 45''</ref> The armor is only issued to ONI reconnaissance agents for high risk operations. The undersuit of the armor, which is superficially similar to the standard ODST armor, is designated as the S1/ONI field fatigues.<ref name="evg45"/> However, the chest plate is replaced with a specialized one, to provide stealth capabilities with little or no loss of endurance, specifically by reducing its IR signature and reflective surfaces. The torso part of the armor also varies from the standard version, having a green, translucent orb in the center. There are no shoulder pauldrons issued with this variant, which allows more freedom of arm movement. This variant also uses a version of the [[RECON-class Mjolnir|Recon]] helmet. | The S-1 reconnaissance PPE/BDU is a specialized [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] variant of the ODST armor.<ref name="evg45">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 45''</ref> The armor is only issued to ONI reconnaissance agents for high risk operations.

The Nightfall armor is a specialized variant meant for hostile environments.<ref name="Halo Channel">'''[[Halo Channel]]''': ''[[Halo: Nightfall]] Season Reward''</ref> Like the standard ODST BDU, it retains fall impact negation and a built-in VISR suite but also introduces best-in-class life support and a camera within the helmet's brim. The life support consists of an oxygen tank located in the chest armor. The MJOLNIR [GEN2] adaption adds a [[data crystal chip]] port, putting it inline with other MJOLNIR variants. It doesn't include the armored backpack like the standard MJOLNIR/ODST variant, but does feature storage pouches across the front of the lower torso. | The Nightfall armor is a specialized variant meant for hostile environments.<ref name="Halo Channel">'''[[Halo Channel]]''': ''[[Halo: Nightfall]] Season Reward''</ref> Like the standard ODST BDU, it retains fall impact negation and a built-in VISR suite but also introduces best-in-class life support and a camera within the helmet's brim.
