The blank back bugs the heck out of me. And more, is that the armor technically isn’t mjolnir. They can say it is, but the light materials and scavenging nature of the armor ensures that this armor just isn’t the same as mjolnir, closer to ODST armor than anything. And there are no shield emitters (the lights on the armor).
Fracture cores are fine, they can look however 343 wants, but the canon stuff needs consistency. There are plenty of places they could have put the emitters on.

Here’s the wiki page for it.
It seems that no, the main armor (chest piece, “crotch” guard, forearms, etc.) are not scavenged. Only the parts the player can swap in and out (perhaps except for the helmet) are scavenged. So, in lore it could make more sense to have a “tactical backpack” rather than a back piece.
It may be to do with the fact that in the US that means butt, but in the UK it’s actually a swear word for a certain body part of a particular gender.
Keeping this thread alive I agree even though you cant see your back when playing I dont like the trash bag/spacesuit back we have it needs something there like a mini framed backpack for camping.
Its self repairing armor. Meaning it doesnt need a shield power supply?? Thats just off the details of it. Maybe a gel like or epoxy like substance that fills burns and bullet holes?
But I agree, a pack or an armor plate there would be more pleasing to the eyes. Looks like a 1980’s under suit for astronauts back there lol
343 did answer a question asked about the encyclopedia with the cooling something atachment. (Forgot the name) It’s supposed to repair atmor that has been compromised (Like Sams armor in the fall of reach.) So this would make sense in away.
