Acolyte Combat armor

The Covenant Acolyte combat is the primary combat systems used by the Brotherhood's ground forces.

Overview
Because The Brotherhood was originally a destabilization group created by the Alliance, They had acces to lighter variants of the PDI Paladin armor. After the Brotherhood started their revolt, they began modifying the original design of the Paladin armor. The result is the Brotherhood Acolyte armor. It is covered in composite metal plates, with balistic gell between the user and the actual plating to greatly reduce the chance of ballistic shock when it is hit. The joints are protected with kevlar, and the suit enhances the user's survivability, strength, and agility. The ballistic gel within the suit will solidify if it begins to leak out of a rupture, plugging the hole and saving the user from decompression if he is in a vaccum environment.

The armor's power cells are constantly being recharged by kinetic, thermal, and solar sources. Essentially, the users own body heat and movement will provide extra life for the suit.

In terms of advanced functions, the armor is equipped with a "Bitching Betty" that will remind users of crucial information, such as suit ruptures, remaining oxygen, environmental hazards, objectives, etc.

Users can also ping the environment with the suit's pinging feature. This will make other suits, weather they are friendly or hostile, emit a signal that will let the user know their general location. though this system is not perfect, and there are ways to trick it, it is still a very valuable tool.
