Armor

Home / Armor

Armour is a trade between protection and speed. These guides explain what each tier costs and which build should wear it.

Heavy Armor

Thick plate that turns lethal blows into bruises. Stronger than beginners expect — and the backbone of any front line.

Medium Armor

The compromise tier — meaningful protection without the worst of the speed and stealth penalties.

Light Armor

Minimal protection, minimal penalty. Essential for speed builds — dangerous on anyone who plans to get hit.

Helmets

Head protection that guards your most fragile and most important hit location.

Robotic Limbs

Replacement arms and legs that restore — and can exceed — what the wasteland took.
