Welcome back fiction faction.\u00a0Since last we spoke, some pretty cool stuff has been brewing. Some of which we\u2019ll be talking about soon, and others\u2026 well, you\u2019ll just have to hold tight a bit longer. For yours truly, the week started out in glorious fashion \u2013 watching my favorite collegiate combatants hang a sixteenth badge of honor on their heroic helmets.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019ll be taking a lore-laden look at much more future-forward headgear as we preview some of the fiction behind a couple of the newest Mjolnir variants to hit the Wargames fold via the fast-approaching\u00a0Infinity\u2019s Armory<\/em>\u00a0content update for\u00a0Halo 5: Guardians<\/em>.<\/p>\n

FOUNDRY-FRESH<\/h2>\n

Back in\u00a0Issue 54\u00a0we gave you a bit of a sneak peek at some upcoming armors for\u00a0Halo 5: Guardians<\/em>. One of them, ATLAS, we gave you an early look at via a sweet looking artist render. In that same section, we also teased an armor coded as simply \u201cA102.\u201d That particular set of at-the-time-redacted armor is actually pretty special \u2013 specifically the way you\u2019ll have to unlock it. Some of you might remember our\u00a0Cartographer\u2019s Gift Community Update\u00a0where we debuted a new Commendations aspect to our increasingly popular\u00a0Spartan Companies feature. Well trust me when I say that if you want to unlock this slick slice of menacing Mjolnir, you\u2019ll want to find yourself on an active Spartan Company.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the fiction of each of these new armor sets! (click the images to make ’em big-n-pretty)<\/p>\n

\"cfatlasrend-345f74288f494bcf9a7698fad8c90d99\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ATLAS
\n<\/strong>Armor:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0ATLAS suits are heavy, over-engineered tactical assault armors that excel in high-threat boarding actions and urban assaults. When its modular add-on armor and weapon modules enter production it will serve as the Spartan equivalent of a main battle tank.<\/p>\n

Helmet:<\/strong>\u00a0The ATLAS is built to make war in the harshest environments against the most implacable of humanity’s foes. The ATLAS’ sensors are iterations on those used in the GEN1 Mark VI, emphasizing absolute reliability and ruggedness over the latest technology.<\/p>\n

\"cfachillesrend-470d6e6f3e2e4c1aa438cbd55bf12c8e\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ACHILLES
\n<\/strong>Armor:<\/strong>\u00a0Only Spartans who have mastered themselves, bound their wrath and passion within a shell of hyperdense steel fueled by starfire, are granted access to the ACHILLES. Lesser warriors will lose themselves in a storm of blood.<\/p>\n

Helmet:<\/strong>\u00a0The AI that lies within the branching lattice of the ACHILLES’ neural interface gnaws at the mind of its partner. No Spartan can stand alone against its urgings of unbridled excess, but through bonds of loyalty and duty they can be held at bay.<\/p>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> More about this shortly. I for one am excited for this armor!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

TRUTH & RECONCILIATION<\/h2>\n

l ZBradley l: Is there any different variants of the mantis that serve a different role besides just being a total killing machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:\u00a0<\/strong>Much like the Cyclops, there are variants of the Mantis that have proven useful for a whole host of varied functions. Liang-Dortmund for example, utilizes combat-ready Mantis units for private security, but have also deployed customized non-combat variants on hostile worlds to aid in colony-reclamation efforts, helping aid in a variety of hazardous tasks \u2013 including everything from terrain navigation to mining operations.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
