“ Gained prominence during the defense of Concord from the Covenant in 2551.[3] ”

VENATOR-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial.[3]

GEN1 overview[edit]

Development history[edit]

The GEN1 Venator armor gained prominence during the Covenant's attack on Concord in 2551 for its improvement of user opportunity in hand-to-hand and single-enemy combat.[3]

GEN2 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The helmet has spatial recognition functionality. The suit has full-mobility, overlocking movement packages. The pauldrons are embedded, minimal silhouette pauldrons for improved close-quarters combat.[1]

Development history[edit]

The lessons learned from Concord and advancements made with the project during the waning years of the Covenant War were only fully realized by the VENATOR model built upon the new GEN2 Mjolnir platform.[2] 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.[4]

After the Requiem Campaign, Lethbridge Industrial improved the Venator's power management subsystem and reduced its maintenance requirements.[5] By October 2558, the armor's firmware had incorporated a generalization of predictive targeting algorithms originally created to assist new Spartans in close-quarters combat.[6]

Usage[edit]

Many advocate this suit as the full realization of CQB's time-honored methodology.[1]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 4[edit]

Venator was first introduced into the Halo games as an armor set in Halo 4. The armor has three available skins: Raptor (RPTR), Bayonet (BYNT), and Refractive (RFCT). The Bayonet and Refractive skins are not usable in Spartan Ops. As with all Halo 4 armor, the skins were not included in the initial release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, though the release of Halo 4 on PC and the start of Series 4: Reclaimer saw the skins added into the collection as default unlocks.

The body armor is not a fully-original design, and as such includes a number of supplementary Halo 4 pieces—primarily the Outer-plated forearms and XG-89 Narrow legs. The Venator set has three alternate skins: Cestus, Retiarus, and Thraex.
