The GEN2 kit also includes anterior torque couplings. The pauldrons are flow-distributing ceramic plates. The reactor has alternating heat-tempered balance drives. The helmet has a pressure-resistant hardened rebreather unit. In the post-war era, the GEN1 EOD set, specifically the helmet, is still favored by Spartan combat divers and pioneers tasked with demolition roles. ĮOD is fielded by Spartans deep in enemy lines, allowing them to navigate dangerous territory to disable or destroy enemy mines before the UNSC properly arrived. As late as 2558 the GEN1 version of the EOD helmet could be requisitioned by Spartan Operations personnel for use with their GEN2 Mjolnir suits. The EOD variant is speculated to have been developed in response to the death of Samuel-034 (the first Spartan killed in action) in November 2525. The MJOLNIR/EOD variant was originally created at the UNSC Damascus Materials Testing Facility on Chi Ceti 4. The helmet can be fitted with the AN/PZY-6011Y TYPHON and AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE Command Network Modules, the Type E3 UA module and a CBRN module. The MJOLNIR/EOD variant's pauldrons and chest plate were designed specifically to reduce the number of grabbing edges on the armor, decreasing the likelihood of dismemberment and protecting Spartans during operations that involve the handling of explosive ordnance (e.g., clearing/planting land mines, demolishing enemy structures/material and, or planting/defusing bombs). The helmet was designed to channel the pressure wave of a nearby detonation around the user's head, significantly reducing the likelihood of decapitation in the event of an explosion. 4 Non-canon and dubious canon appearances.
