Like the ZGMF-1017AS GINN Assault Type, the CGUE Assault mounts additional armor on its arms, legs, chest and backpack to increase overall performance. This set of 'Assault Shroud' armor also grants excellent atmospheric flight capabilities and is designed to allow ZGMF-515 CGUE's performance to be on par with specially developed ace-use MS. Unlike the GINN's Assault Shroud, the CGUE's Assault Shroud does not mount any additional weaponry, but the added chest armor improves heat dissipation in addition to providing better protection. Despite its benefits, the Assault Shroud soon falls out of favor as the MS development trend tilts towards ace-use MS and only a limited set of armor were produced. One CCUE Assault is captured by EA and assigned to Xist Elwes. Besides some modifications to the internal components, EA also developed a set of shoulder shield for Xist's unit to increase its combat capabilities.
