The '''Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant''', colloquially known as '''Recon Armor''', or '''Recon''' by [[Bungie]] Employees, is a type of [[United Nations Space Command]] body [[armor]]. Many non-Bungie employees would like to obtain the armor, but this is only possible by completing the Vidmaster Achievements.
