This blog may be updated in the future as I find more feats.
Halo, The Fall of Reach, Master Chief feats[]
First, and foremost. I will be doing two known AP feats, and one speed feat. First, lets start with the AP. Master Chief at one point was condifent enough that he could survive a 30 meter fall with little to no injury. I will have to confirm the source of this at a later time, but I'm going to go ahead and calc it for the time being.
| “ | He [John-117] stood just over 2 meters tall and weighed in at 130 kilos of rock-hard muscle and iron-dense bone | „ |
| ~ Halo The Fall of Reach pg 217 |
This was Master Chief at the age of 14, directly after receiving his augmentations.
This is a simple calculation really, Potential energy. Note, this took place on the planet Reach, witch has 1.08x the gravity of Earth, or 10.59 m/s^2
PE= M*g*h.
130*10.59*30= 41301 Joules, Wall level
. Next up, we have Master Chief kicking a soldier in an exoskeleton 8 meters away.
| “ | John landed, turned, braced, and kicked one guard. The man landed in a heap... 8 meters away | „ |
| ~ Halo, The Fall Of Reach Pg 72 |
That guard was wearing a heavy exoskeleton. I do not know how much it weighed, but I'll try to make an estimate.
We have a sketch of the exoskeleton the guard was wearing. I don't think I can figure out its mass. However, the Mk lll MJOLNIR exoskeleton was stated to be bulkier and heavier than te newer versions of Mjolnir, witch weight about 450 Kg when occupied.
We know Master Chief launched it 8 meters. So time to calc it. I'm going to assume three ends for the timeframe.
0.25 seconds, 32m/s
0.5 seconds 16m/s
And an unrealistic low end of 1 second, 8m/s
KE
High-End: 230400 Joules, Wall Level
Mid-End 57600 Joules, Wall Level
Low-End 14400 Joules, Street Level+
Lifting Strength, since it can be derived from launching things.
I will be using the formula from this calc
Momentum= Velocity*Mass= Newtons.
Then Newtons/Timeframe
High-End 57600 Newtons= 6.47 tons, Class 10 (Outlier)
Mid-End 14400 Newtons= 1.61 tons, Class 1
Low-End 3600 Newtons = 411 Kilograms, Peak Human
If you ask me, the Mid-End seems to be exceptionally consistent with what we already know.
Next up, we have speed.
| “ | The last guard on the bunker turned to fire at John. Halsey gripped the edge of her chair. "He's at point blank range! Even stun rounds can kill at that distance!"
As the guard's gun fired, John sidestepped. The stun rounds slashed through the air, a clean miss. John grabbed the weapon's armature-twisted-and with a screech of stressed metal, wrenched it free of the exoskeleton. |
„ |
| ~ Halo The Fall of Reach, Pg 72-73 |
So exactly how close is "Point Blank"?
I did some research and found the point blank usually means you are within a meter of the weapon. So I'll be using One Meter as the distance.
Stun rounds were stated to be used here. How fast are they? Regretably.... this was the only source I was able to find It states that a Bean-Bag round, witch is essentially a stun round moves at 120 meters per second.
DDM found a better source to use here
To cross a distance of one meter, this projectile would take 0.0182269 seconds. Master Chief "Sidestepped" , but then closed the distance and destroyed the guard's gun. So I'm going to assume he moved 1.5 meters to be safe.
This equates to 82.296 m/s, solid Subsonic
This is consistent with this statement.
| “ | "What are their reaction times?"
"Almost impossible to chart. We estimate it at 20 milliseconds," Mendez replied. He shook his head, then added, "I believe it is significantly faster in combat situations, when their adrenaline is pumping" |
„ |
| ~ Halo The Fall Of Reach, Pg 73 |
Very consistent.
Next up, I'll calc another lifting strength feat for Master Chief later in his life, with his armor.
Tally for this section[]
Durability:
41301 Joules, Wall level
AP:
High-End: 230400 Joules, Wall Level
Mid-End 57600 Joules, Wall Level
Low-End 14400 Joules, Street Level+
Lifting Strength
High-End 6.47 tons, Class 10 (Outlier)
Mid-End 1.61 tons, Class 1
Low-End 411 Kilograms, Peak Human
Master Chief drags a bomb[]
Later in his career, Master Chie drags a large bomb
Master Chief is 2.18 meters tall. This equates to 0.017 meters per pixel.
Height = 1.44 meters
Width = 1.105 meters
Length = 13.34 meters.
Covenant Material has been compared to Titanium, so I will use that for density.
Titanium's density is 4502 Kg/3^m
Volume equates to 21.22 Cubic meters.
Mass, 95562.18 Kg, or 95.553 tons. Class 100
Note, this more than likely does not scale to MC's lifting strength. Since he only dragged it, and clearly needed to put in some effort to do so But it does help further solidify his Class 10 lifting strength.
Master Chief withstands a blast[]
Here Master Chief withstands being near a missile that created a two- meter hole in the ground.
We have two scans to quantify this.
Additionally, we have the novel version of this scene to go off as well.
| “ | The tip of the Scorpion Missile passed a centimeter from his head, he reached out-fingertips brushed the metal casing-
and slapped it aside |
„ |
| ~ Halo The Fall Of Reach Pg 305 |
So we have a pretty clear idea of how far he likely was from the projectile.
To further support this.
| “ | The Master Chief got up and ran. As he passed the spot where he had stood to face down the missile, he saw a two-meter deep crater. | „ |
| ~ Halo The Fall Of Reach Pg 305 |
So yes, Master Chief was pretty close to the explosion. I can't determine exactly how close he was to it, but I think one-two meters should suffice. So two ends it is.
Now to figure this out.
DarkDragonMedeus already has a yield for the Scropion missile, Witch is comparable in power to the Rocket Launcher.
Before calculating this, we need to find Master Chief's surface area using this, witch equates to 5.23 m^2.
Yield of the explosion, 3,050,666,736 joules, or 0.7291 tons, 8-C.
Distance from the Explosion, 1-2 meters. This will serve as the radius.
Surface area of the explosion, 4 * pi * r^2
Surface area of the explosion, 50.26 m^2 (Low-end)
Surface area of the explosion, 28.27 m^2 (Mid-End
Surface area of the explosion, 12.56 m^2, (High-end)
Low-End
5.23/50.26= 0.1040588937524871 times weaker.
0.1040588937524871* 0.7291= 317 Megajoules, Small Building Level
Mid-End (1.5 meters to be safe)
5.23/28.27= 0.1850017686593562 times weaker.
0.1850017686593562* 0.7291= 564.35 Megajoules, Small Building Level+
High-End
5.23/12.56= 0.416190176185306302 Times weaker.
0.416190176185306302* 0.7291= 1269 Megajoules, Building Level
