Most of the Spartan 4s that were killed were either completely disintegrated by Promethians using forerunner tech or died in the sun during the battle of Requiem. I'd like to state that I'm not saying they're immortal but damn are they durable.

Not nuke durable. Bucks armor was pierced by a bullet. Halo New Blood "Fortunately, my armor hadn’t stopped working. It automatically sealed the hole the bullet had made, keeping me from bleeding out, and injected me with a flood of biofoam, which brought the agony down from blinding to almost tolerable."

Edited by The Rookie: 3/7/2016 4:39:53 AMIf he was an odst still that's understandable. If he was a Spartan I'd imagine it hit his undersuit armor which is a titanium and Kevlar weave. Not as durable as the armor itself but can block at least 2 50 cal sniper shots until it breaks.

Edited by The Rookie: 3/7/2016 4:42:36 AMThen it was most likely his undersuit. Plus he couldn't have had his shields because he had no helmet. This is when he fought Mickey correct?
-
What do you mean?
-
The undersuit is the weakest point in a Spartans armor only being able to deflect 3 50 cal sniper shots before it weakens. The undersuit is mostly for Spartan comfort and temperature control with slight protection. Most protection comes from a Spartans over shields which buck couldn't have had since he had no helmet when fighting Mickey. The suit needs the helmet to power the shields so that the user doesn't get injured and because the visor helps power the shielding.
-
Even the under suit is still immensely durable though certainly better than standard UNSC armor. My point was simply that the cancer vibe nukes.

Spartan 4s are able to survive it I can guarantee

Edited by Edcub One: 3/7/2016 5:04:54 AMBut there's no proof, spartan fours have died before to conventional arms fire as we saw in halo escalation. And Buck was able to take down Mickey shields by repeatedly punching him. They can't withstand nuclear bombs or it would break the setting.
-
Edited by The Rookie: 3/7/2016 5:08:37 AMThe way buck took down his shields is because buck kept repeatedly bashing his head to break his neural implant. That or the sheer force of 1000+pounds hurling at you at incredible speeds.
-
Edited by Edcub One: 3/7/2016 5:12:31 AMThe difference in power between that and a nuclear bomb is far bigger than just the few dozen times he punched Mickey, he would've had to punch him tens of thousands of times before his shields broke. It's simply breaks setting and doesn't make sense.
-
Sigh this is getting real hard to explain to you now. It's just halo logic I guess man it's all in the lore of halo.

It's never been stated they can survive nuclear bomb's. Also Spartan fours in Gen 2 armor were said to be equal to Spartan twos in Mark six armor. Of whom were almost killed by a fuel rod canon. "When she turned to let off a few bursts in the hunter's direction, the emerald discharge from an assault cannon slammed right into her chest with a deafening roar of static, lifting her off her feet and slamming her onto the ground. Getting knocked over saved her life, for as she thudded onto her back a second green ray of incendiary plasma blasted directly overhead. With her shields completely knocked out and the HUD shield alert honking a furious warning at her, the second blast would have cut her in half." Halo: Evolutions Vol. II "Blunt Instruments", page 28.
-
I swear it's been stated I have to look for it. After all chief survived it. Then again it is a video game and logic doesn't always have to make sense.
-
Cortana protected him, if 343 said otherwise I will be shocked, because that breaks the entire the entire setting.
-
I just explained it but I guess nvm then.

Lol. And I'll try to pull it up somewhere.

Ok thank you.
