'''RECRUIT-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]] manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] and [[Materials Group]]. It is the standard armor for all newly recruited [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] personnel.<ref name="H4"/><ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref>

===Specifications===

The reactor is covered by a "Class-A hardened reactor case". The shoulders are called "Common solid-plate pauldrons". There is a power conduit on the cuisse. The feet have segmented plates to increase mobility. The armor is designed to cope with the strain and duress experienced by newly augmented Spartan-IV.<ref name="H4EVG"/>

The standard color scheme for Recruit-equipped Spartans aboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} consists of orange-yellow stripes at various points, most notably along the center of the helmet, though the suit remains largely unpainted.<ref group="note">All SPARTAN-IV NPCs encountered in ''Halo 4'' (both in the campaign and in ''Spartan Ops'') wear Recruit armor with the aforementioned color scheme. [[Jared Miller]] of the ship's Spartan Command also wears Recruit armor with this color scheme in ''Spartan Ops''<nowiki>'</nowiki> prerendered "talking head" vignettes.</ref> Whether this color scheme is common among all recently inducted SPARTAN-IVs is unknown.

The majority of the Recruit variants were manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] and tested at [[WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka]]. Both the forearms and greaves were manufactured by the [[Materials Group]], with the forearms tested at [[FFG-045]]'s combat lab, and the greaves manufactured on [[Chi Ceti IV]].<ref name="H4"/> Testing for the GEN2 version was swiftly done, as by [[2553#January|January 2553]] a copy of the armor was onboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''' ''- [[Halo: Initiation Issue 2|Issue 2]]''</ref>

Decades of combat experience with Mjolnir suits informed the design and electronics hardware architecture of the RECRUIT helmet.<ref name="H5G"/>

The Prime skin is part of the [[Infinity Actual Kit]] recommended for Spartan-IV first contact and asymmetrical operations.<ref>'''[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]''' - ''Bonus content marketplace description''</ref>

Newly inducted Spartans are required to use the Recruit-class armor for an individually determined time frame before requisitioning custom kits.<ref name="H4"/> The armor's performance consistency raises eyebrows among the more experienced Spartans, however, and despite its popularity, many Spartan-IVs opt to diversify the armor with other variants.<ref name="H4EVG"/>

Spartans in the Recruit variant armor were sold as [[toy]]s. One child had painted his Recruit Spartan action figure to resemble the [[John-117|Master Chief]].<ref>'''[[A Hero Falls]]'''</ref>

'''Available skins''': Prime (PRME) and Tiger (TIGR)<br>

'''Default unlock''': Unlocked by default.<br>

'''Prime unlock''': Obtained by getting the [[Halo 4 Limited Edition|''Halo 4'' Limited Edition]]. It is also available in the [[Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition|''Halo 4'' Game of the Year Edition]].<br>

'''Tiger unlock''': Complete the [[List of Halo 4 Commendations|Exterminator - Master commendation]]

*'''Description''': Standard default armor configuration for all recruited Spartan personnel.

*'''Forearms description''': Standardized RECRUIT-class vambrace systems, vetted in the 'FFG-045' combat lab.

*'''Legs description''': Conventional RECRUIT-class full greave system manufactured on Chi Ceti IV.

In the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta]]'' there was a "BRN" skin which became the "Charred" skin in the final game. This skin had descriptions for it as follows:

'''Available skins''': Charred, Marked, and Proven<br>

'''Default unlock''': Unlocked by default.<br>

'''Charred unlock''': Common [[REQ]] card<br>

*'''Helmet description''': Decades of combat experience with Mjolnir suits informed the design and electronics hardware architecture of the RECRUIT helmet.

*'''Body description''': SPARTAN-IVs are required to use the RECRUIT-class armor until they demonstrate mastery over their many augmentations.

In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' due to the "Body" having a predefined customisation this armor set permanently has the following parts from ''Halo 4'':

*'''Body''': Recruit

*'''Shoulders''': Recruit

*'''Forearms''': [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]]

*'''Legs''': Recruit

==Trivia==

*In ''[[Halo 4]]'', the Recruit right shoulder and forearms available to the player in multiplayer are different from those seen elsewhere in the game, such as on SPARTAN-IV NPCs in campaign and on characters in the ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' cutscenes. Curiously, the SPARTAN-IVs in ''Halo 4'''s campaign appear to be wearing what the game classifies as [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms.
