The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Venator''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] utilized by [[SPARTAN-IV]]s.<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref>.  

==Development history==

The MJOLNIR/Venator variant was manufactured by [[Lethbridge Industrial]] as their flagship product.<ref>'''[[Halo Online]]'''</ref> The Venator armor gained prominence during the [[Covenant]]'s attack on [[Concord]] for its improvement of user opportunity in hand-to-hand and single-enemy combat.<ref name="H4"/> After the [[Requiem Campaign]], Lethbridge Industrial improved the Venator's power management subsystem and reduced it's maintenance requierements. By October [[2558]], the armor's firmware incorporated a generalization of predictive targeting algorithms originally created to assist new Spartans in close-quarters combat.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

===Halo 4===

'''Unlock''': [[List of Halo 4 Commendations|Assassin - Master commendation]]<br>

*Description: Though engineered for a variety of uses in the field, Lethbridge Industrial’s philosophical approach on improving user opportunity during hand-to-hand or single-enemy combat helped define the benefits that make VENATOR-class armor so effective.

'''Available skins''': RPTR(Raptor), BYNT(Bayonet) and RFCT(Refractive)

* The RPTR skin was a pre-order bonus through Amazon. It is also available in the [[Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition]].

* The BYNT skin is included in the [[Champions Bundle]]. It is not usable in Spartan Ops.

* The RFCT skin is available as a DLC code packaged with the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] action figure in the [[McFarlane Toys/Halo 4 Series 2|second series of McFarlane's Halo 4 action figures]]. It is not usable in [[Spartan Ops]].

===Halo 5: Guardians===

'''Unlock''': Ultra Rare [[REQ]] card<br>

*Helmet description: The latest VENATOR firmware incorporates a generalization of predictive targeting algorithms originally created to assist new Spartans in close-quarters combat.

*Armor description: Lethbridge Industrial has incorporated feedback from [[Requiem]] veterans to improve the VENATOR's power management subsystem and reduce it's maintenance requierements.<br>

'''Available skins''': Cestus, Retiarus, and Thraex<br>

'''Cestus Unlock''': Legendary REQ card<br>

'''Retiarus Unlock''': Ultra Rare REQ card<br>

'''Thraex Unlock''': Legendary REQ card

*"Venator" is Latin for "hunter".

*The Venator helmet bears a great deal of resemblance to that of the [[w:c:deadspace:Advanced Suit|Advanced Suit]] from the [[w:c:deadspace|''Dead Space'' series]].

*In ''Halo Online'', the Venator armor is wrongly called "Stealth armor" instead.

*The three skins for Venator armor in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' are named after three types of [[Wikipedia:Gladiator|gladiators]].
