Jacket Armour - It is
the weakest type of armour. It will transfer most of the damage to your health instead of
absorbing it. It works against standard weapons, but is useless against energy weapons
(Hyperblaster, BFG 10K, and Blaster). Only 1/3 of this armour will be transfered when you
obtain Combat Armour. Bitch and whine all you want about how crappy this armour is but it
is armour and any armour is good armour. Armour Points
per Suit - 25
Maximum Armour Points - 50 |

Combat Armour - A
step up in the armour classes. An all around good armour to have. It offers medium defense
against standard weapons and low energy weapon protection. About 2/3 of this armour will
be transfered when you acquire Body Armour. Good stuff to have, especially when its the
best you have at your disposal. Armour Points per Suit
- 50
Maximum Armour Points - 100 |
 
|
Body Armour - The
best armour available in game. It acts almost like one full health point against standard
weapons. Against energy weapons it acts like a half health point. Combine this with Power
Armour and you are virtually invincible or at least very hard to kill. Since it absorbs
the most damage of all the armours it diminishes the fastest. Armour Points per Suit - 100
Maximum Armour Points - 200 |
 
|
Power Armour - This
is a special type of armour. It bases its protection from your cell energy total. Power
Armour allows for extra protection outside your hard armour. The Power Armour acts like
just like normal armour except when you are hit with Power Armour equiped you display a
green shell over your body. The damage is distrubuted between your cell total and your
health/armour. It is split about 50/50, sometimes a small amount of it may not even be
transferred to either suggesting the Power Armour also acts like a deflection shield.
Since it uses cells, the use of the Hyperblaster and the BFG 10K are not choice weapons
when using the Power Armour. Add Power Armour to Body Armour and you can be a force to be
reckoned with. Armour Points per Suit - 0, 50 points per cell battery collected
Maximum Armour Points - However
many Cells you have available (Normally 200, 250 with Bandolier, and 300 with Backpack) |
