Armor (Long War)

This page may be outdated. It is up-to-date for version b15. The latest version is 1.0.

Long War nearly doubles the amount of different Armors. Some familiar Enemy Within body protections return like Titan, Archangel and Carapace. Many more simply expand on previous functionalities (of Kevlar, Skeleton or Ghost) while others receive specific features akin to Long War gameplay.

It all adds up to combat versatility, survival skills or solid defenses where and when it matters most.

Please also note:

• Shadow Armor also reduces the amount of small item slots by one.
• Damage reduction 0.3 and 0.5 translates in game as a 30% and 50% chance to absorb one point of damage. This reduction stacks with other sources of DR, such as items, abilities and cover.
• Titan Armor provides the Damage Control perk, which provides 1.5 DR for two turns after getting hit

Soldier Armor

• Each Aurora Armor requires a sectoid corpse to produce
• Each Archangel Armor requires a suit of Titan Armor to produce
