'''UA''', short for '''up-armored''', is a series of supplemental armor attachments and accessories compatible with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] and battle dress uniforms worn by UNSC infantry.{{Ref/Game|Id=Campaign|HR|Campaign|Campaign models}}
==Overview==
===Design details===
The UA category encompasses various attachments that are compatible with the helmet, shoulders, chest, wrist and thigh components of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR <nowiki>[GEN3]</nowiki>]] armors.{{Ref/Game|Id=HR|HR|Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HI|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall}} The UA series are typically armor reinforcements with different purposes depending on the modules. They can either come as a singular module or as a kit.


'''UA''', short for '''up-armor''', is a category of supplemental armor attachments and accessories compatible with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. Like some other MJOLNIR variants, many of the UA pieces are not exclusive to the MJOLNIR system, but are in use by regular [[UNSC Army]] or [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] troops as well. Many UA attachments are available as [[Armor Permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armor Permutations]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Armor Permutations (Halo: Reach)|The Armory]]''</ref>
===Usage===
Many of the UA pieces are not exclusive to the MJOLNIR system, but are in use by regular [[UNSC Army]] or [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] troops as well.{{Ref/Reuse|Campaign}} Some UA attachments are designed for specialized personnel, like Spartans tasked with breaching or members of Spartan containment teams.{{Ref/Reuse|jackplate}}{{Ref/Reuse|relikt}}


==Helmets==
==Known modules and configurations==
Most of the helmet variants available in Halo: Reach have an up-armored upgrade, sometimes coupled with other external helmet additions such as the UA/[[External Hardened Uplink|HUL]] attachment to the Mark V [B] helmet. UA helmet attachments consist of reinforced metal plates or bracers attached to the helmet's forehead to give better protection to the wearer in combat.

A A Mark VII-clad Spartan-IV with a BR75 battle rifle on Deadlock.
A Spartan equipped with various UA attachments: the ARMET visor attachment, a pair of Agathius shoulder pads, the M550D Halfplate chest piece, and the Type II-A1 Buckler wrist attachment.

UA, short for up-armored, is a series of supplemental armor attachments and accessories compatible with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor and battle dress uniforms worn by UNSC infantry.[1]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The UA category encompasses various attachments that are compatible with the helmet, shoulders, chest, wrist and thigh components of the MJOLNIR Mark V and MJOLNIR [GEN3] armors.[2][3] The UA series are typically armor reinforcements with different purposes depending on the modules. They can either come as a singular module or as a kit.

Usage[edit]

Many of the UA pieces are not exclusive to the MJOLNIR system, but are in use by regular UNSC Army or Marine troops as well.[1] Some UA attachments are designed for specialized personnel, like Spartans tasked with breaching or members of Spartan containment teams.[4][5]
