MJOLNIR Mark IV
When Richard first entered UNSC service he, like the other SPARTAN-IIs, were outfitted with a suit of Mark IV MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armour. He utilised the default model of the armour for a little under three years in a range of engagements, before battle damage during the Battle of Skopje made it necessary for the armour to be replaced.

MJOLNIR Mark IV PAA/Grenadier (Modified)
Following his encounter with the Sangheili General Sevit 'Nyornee Richard's MJOLNIR armour was extensively reworked, completely replacing the shoulder-guards, helmet and knee-guards with variants featuring improved, heavier titanium armour. The breastplate was also reinforced with a heavier collar that served as extra protection for the throat.

MJOLNIR Mark V PAA (Prototype)
After the Covenant's failed assault on the Damascus Testing Facility Richard was outfitted with this design of armour in order to field-test the prototype's new shielding system for use in the final design. This armour saw service in the end years of the Human-Covenant war, though the shielding was not yet perfected at the time, and often failed without warning.

MJOLNIR Mark VI PAA
This model of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armour only entered service following the Human-Covenant War, but regardless saw prominent use in the early peace-time years against Insurrectionists and Covenant Remnants alike. Its last use came in 2555 with the ONI-headed Zeta Halo Project, when Richard was selected among a handful of other Spartans to provide security for the Research Team.

MJOLNIR Mark VI PAA (GEN2)
The most recent model of the MJOLNIR armour the Spartan has taken up, this variant lays updated designs of the MJOLNIR Mark VI armour over the enhanced architecture of the MJOLNIR GEN2 suit. This armour has seen combat both on Earth and on Requiem against Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and the Prometheans, though has recently been updated by ONI for use in specialised tracking and EVA missions.

MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System "Rigel"
Richard's chosen weapon in an engagement is the venerable MA5B Assault Rifle codified "Rigel". The Spartan has carried this weapon with him in every engagement he is known to have participated in and has, over time, been modified to be able to perform in a wide variety of mission specific roles, being fitted with a Longshot sight, longer barrel over the standard model, and a suppressor, while maintaining the stock model's 60-round box magazines.

This weapon features paintwork on the casing known commonly as the "Prime" skin, to enable it additional camouflage in urban, or other similar environments.
