Extra Vehicular Activity Armour

The EVA armor is a variant of the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR powered battle armor; specialized to improve survivability of SPARTAN-II's when in a vacuum. It is an armor permutation in Halo 3 multi-player. Bungie has confirmed that all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay. The chest plate is a seemingly standard MJOLNIR chest plate set with a small and minor attachment. The attachment consists of a small metal plate connected to a piece of black alloy that has several unknown equipment pieces set into it. These are speculated to be docking ports so that a SPARTAN-II does not drift into space. It is possibly extra cushioning in case the vehicle gets in a collision. The chest plate has gained the nickname "cassette tape," "tape deck," and "boombox" by devoted online players. Another theory is that the extra metal plate is an oxygen port for an air tank during extended Zero Gravity Missions in a hard vacuum. The shoulder pads are larger than the standard MJOLNIR pads and feature a long attachment to their center, another similarity to the SPI armor. The shoulder pads cover more surface area than other shoulder pieces.The EVA armor’s helmet is aesthetically similar to the (Semi Powered Infiltration) or SPI armor’s helmet, in fact, in early renders the armor was mistaken for SPI armor. However, the rim from the jaw down to the chin is thinner, including the breathers, and the back of the head has a quarter-sphere shape. Also, the helmet is much more rounded than the SPI helmet. The helmet may have its characteristic visor for complete field of vision during space operations. This helmet is not favored in sniping because of its giant visor, making it easily visible.
