— Halo Reach Armory description of the AA helmet.

The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant or Air Assault is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor manufactured by Ushuaia Armory.^[1] It was originally developed as an improvement to the ODST helmet but was issued in 2535 as the standard helmet of the UNSC's airborne units after testing at the Siófok Firing Range.^[2][1] The helmet was used by Kat-B320.

It is available to players upon reaching the rank of Warrant Officer in Halo: Reach at the cost of 15,000 cR. To purchase the Air Assault helmet set in its entirety would cost a player a total of 27,500 cR.

Helmet characteristicsEdit

There are three variants of the Air Assault helmet; BASE (primary), UA/CNM (secondary) and FC-I (tertiary) as with all helmets in Halo: Reach. Each helmet has respective prerequisites although players must buy each helmet in a succession before the next can be purchased.

TriviaEdit

• The AA BASE helmet resembles that of the ODSTs' in Halo 2, as it is an improved modification of the ODST helmet. Fans have brought to attention that the ODSTs of Halo 2 might be wearing a non MJOLNIR variant of the AA helmet since the events of Halo: Reach come before those of Halo 2.^[3]
• Kat-B320 wears a modified variant of the FC-I Air Assault helmet, without the accessory visor attached but the external hardened uplink is still attached to the side.
