General Information
Making use of the resilient light Aqua Plastics that compose almost the entirety of USO hulls, the eggheads have been able to devise a new diving suit which gives our men a chance to repel the alien invasion.
The relatively simple and cost effective construction of Plastic Aqua Armor allows some X-COM Commanders to introduce the suits as standard issue equipment very quickly. But more importantly, it's a good excuse for engineers to get rid of that often gigantic mound of Aqua Plastics that tends to accumulate in storage.
Research
- Deep One corpse + Aqua Plastics => Plastic Aqua Armour
