The MJOLNIR Reconnaissance armor, or Recon armor, was designed at ONI's Ordnance Testing Facility B5D in Western Australia, alongside the MJOLNIR Scout Armor. It was given stealth capabilities by reducing its infrared signature, reflective surfaces, and Cherenkov radiation emission.

Trivia

• A black version of this figure will be included in the Elephant set that will be released in fall of 2011.
• This is the first black figure.
• Dare from Halo 3: ODST wears a recon helmet, though it specially designed for use by ODSTs.
• Recon is arguably the hardest armor to unlock in Halo 3 (other than "Bungie armor", an EOD chest which produces flames around the wearer's head, and is only given to current Bungie employees, with the exception of voice actor Nathan Fillion). To unlock Recon one must unlock 7 acheivements in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST called the "Vidmaster Challenges", then download the armor through their bungie.net profile. And prior to the release of Halo 3: ODST, Recon could only be received by winning it in a contest or competition, or by doing something Bungie deemed worthy of merit. Early rumors also said that you had to suicide by a sniper rifle ricochet.
