*This armor's health bonus is 4 less than Titan armor. During the last mission, if the person that activated the Gollop Chamber is killed, you will instantly lose the mission. If you are doing an IRONMAN run, it is therefor critically important that you protect this individual. One solution is to equip Chitin Plating in the backpack slot. This will make the bonus to health while wearing this armor equivalent to that of Titan.
